About this board
The WeMos D1 mini clone (also written as D1 mini clone or LOLIN D1 mini clone) is a budget ESP8266 (ESP-8266EX) development board in the compact D1-mini form factor. Clones typically use a CH340 USB-to-serial chip with 4 MB of flash and expose around 11 digital IO plus 1 analog input, and work with standard D1 mini shields. Since these are third-party copies, the USB chip and build quality can vary between sellers, making it a cheap option for hobbyist Wi-Fi projects. In this guide, you'll find the WeMos D1 mini pinout, datasheet, technical specs, and setup instructions.
