Study Notes
NodeMCU/ESP8266 Features
- GPIO Pins: 17 pins can be assigned to functions such as I2C, I2S, UART, PWM, IR Remote Control, LED Light, and Button programmatically.
- GPIO configurability: internal pull-up or pull-down, high impedance, edge-trigger or level-trigger to generate CPU interrupts.
ADC Channel
- NodeMCU embedded with a 10-bit precision SAR ADC.
- Two functions can be implemented using ADC: testing power supply voltage of VDD3P3 pin and testing input voltage of TOUT pin.
UART Pins
- Two UART interfaces (UART0 and UART1) for asynchronous communication (RS232 and RS485).
- UART0: provides communication with TXD0, RXD0, RST0, and CTS0 pins.
- UART1: only data transmit signal, usually used for printing log.
SPI Pins
- NodeMCU/ESP8266 features two SPIs (SPI and HSPI) in slave and master modes.
- Supports 4 timing modes, up to 80 MHz, and divided clocks of 80 MHz, and up to 64-Byte FIFO.
SDIO Pins
- Secure Digital Input/Output Interface (SDIO) for directly interfacing SD cards.
- Supports 4-bit 25 MHz SDIO v1.1 and 4-bit 50 MHz SDIO v2.0.
PWM Pins
- 4 channels of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for driving digital motors and LEDs.
- PWM frequency range: 1000 μs to 10000 μs (100 Hz to 1 kHz).
Control Pins
- Chip Enable pin (EN): enables the ESP8266 chip when pulled HIGH, works at minimum power when pulled LOW.
- Reset pin (RST): resets the ESP8266 chip.
- Wake pin: wakes the chip from deep-sleep.
Power Pins
- VIN pin: can supply the NodeMCU/ESP8266 and its peripherals directly.
- Three 3.3V pins: output of the onboard voltage regulator, can be used to supply power to external components.
- GND pins: ground pins of NodeMCU/ESP8266.
I2C Pins
- Can connect I2C sensors and peripherals, both I2C Master and I2C Slave are supported.
- I2C interface functionality: can be realized programmatically, with a maximum clock frequency of 100 kHz.
