design choice: Wemos shield

A project log for hacking a smoke detector

adding an ESP-12 with some flipflop magic and MQTT

I thought a bit about the design and decided to make it compatible to the Wemos D1 board, but also put a minimal "FTDI + ESP12" configuration on there, so the maker can decide what he will build.

Since GPIO15 is pulled low anyway and I'm able to use it - why not make it the latch off pin.

Cool, this way you can connect other wemos d1 mini shields to it.

exactly - this is my hype train! It's a clone and a shield and I can use other shields :) I also ordered everything to prove that statement, of course ;)

oh dear, I forgot some labels... ground, battery voltage (9V) and smoke detector signal.
