What is it?

This is a Wemos-D1-mini shield. Its main purpose is to provide an easy way to interface the AMG8833 8x8 thermal camera. It directly connects the I2C bus to the ESP8266.

What about those NeoPixels?

The ESP8266 has a 3.3V IO level, which makes it not ideal to interface with NeoPixel (WS281X) RGB-Leds. For this reason I included a levelshifter to 5V on the board, as well as 3 WS2812 Leds and a 3-Pin screw terminal for 5V, GND, Signal to directly connect LED strips.

THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE AMG8833 SENSOR ITSELF

(since it's rather expensive i did only buy the one i needed myself) Soldering the sensor to the board is not as difficult, you don't need a special soldering iron or reflow oven.

Jumper Settings

There are multiple ways to use the three onboard NeoPixel Leds:

In series with the externally connected Led strip: Leave all jumpers as they are.
In parallel with the externally connected Led strip: Cut trace on JP2 and jumper the two right pads
Not at all: Cut trace on JP1 to completely disconnect the onboard Leds
