Supply a voltage from 3.3V to 12V to this pin and the linear voltage regulator on the board will power the board. changed for more clarity to: ``VIN``: This board can be powered by an external power supply by using this pin. Supply a voltage between 3.3V to 12V to this pin and the linear voltage regulator on the board will power the board. --- devices/nodemcu_esp8266.rst | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/devices/nodemcu_esp8266.rst b/devices/nodemcu_esp8266.rst index fb6776680..7e3397197 100644 --- a/devices/nodemcu_esp8266.rst +++ b/devices/nodemcu_esp8266.rst @@ -49,7 +49,7 @@ Note that in certain conditions you *can* use the pins marked as ``INTERNAL`` in not be pulled low on startup.

The difference between the pins is how they can handle voltages above 3.3V.
