## Pins that matter for NodeMCU

• Grounds: 1 or [17,18,19,20]
• Power: 3
• NeedHigh: 4[float ok], 11[float ok], 12[float ok]
• NeedLow: 9

## AT Firmware also wants

• NeedHigh: 4

## Sep 2016 changes

• Cut pin 5!
• drop status led?
• swap ANT and NeoPx
• add single neopx?

## Reflow technique

warmup while on 'W' on WARM
place board 
wait until 0:15
turn up heat
wait until 1:30

## September FTL 2016 changes

• put GPIO2 on the NeoPix port
• route gpio2 to 3535 neopix, then to neopix port.
• smaller regulator?
• swap temperature/ds18 pins
• usb serial chip? on the front of the square board, with handsolder pins

## Square Sep 2016

# Assembly notes

• 3535 goes in with window square thing UP
• first: power led+resistor+usb
• test: lm1117 in/gnd pads for +5
• second: esp8266
• third: lm1117
• test: 3535 pwr/gnd pads
• fourth: 3535

# changes

• 5v rail fix!
• wider 3535 pads
• two 3535 slots
• jst-whatever plugs all around
• +5v input/gnd pinholes

## FTL8285

• consider neopix port 5v as power source to board
• plug/terminator for neopx strip, with wifi and apps! JST-SM connector (3pin)
• light sensor
• oled big connector on bottom
• TODO: reevaluate GPIO0, SDCARD, GPIO2 to NeoPix port & Onboard Pix?
