Trying the Wemos D1 Mini ESP8266 module since it has a smaller real-state than the NodeMCU and enables us to build a PCB smaller than 5cm by 5cm. That's good, because some PCB manufacturers have special prices for PCB smaller than 5cm by 5cm.
I removed the external power supply. No more barrel jack, no more diode. This is both:
- to reduce costs
- to prevent connecting the D1 Mini with +9v since it only supports a max of +5.5v.
If you want to use an external power supply you can do it with this D1 Mini battery shield:
Additionally I made the rounded corners. It looks nicer.
