Unfortunately, there is no mention of a NodeMCU board in the components of your current project, so I can't provide specifics on how to connect the NodeMCU. However, I can give you some general advice on how to wire various components with a NodeMCU.
  1. Sensor (like HC-SR04): HC-SR04 uses VCC (Power), TRIG (Trigger), ECHO (Receive), and GND (Ground).
  • Connect the VCC pin to 5V on the NodeMCU.
  • The TRIG pin, which triggers the sensor to send an ultrasonic wave, can be connected to any digital I/O pin on the NodeMCU.
  • The ECHO pin sends a signal back to the microcontroller when it detects the bounce back of the initial triggered wave. This can also be connected to any digital I/O pin on the NodeMCU.
  • Finally, GND pin is connected to the Ground of NodeMCU.
  1. LCD (like WC1602A): The LCD module commonly uses parallel communication, however, the NodeMCU does not have enough GPIOs to connect it in 8-bit mode, so we would use it in 4-bit mode.
  • Connect the VDD pin to the 5V on the NodeMCU.
  • Connect the RS, R/W and E pins to any digital I/O pins on the NodeMCU.
  • Connect the D4, D5, D6, D7 (data pins) to digital I/O pins in NodeMCU.
  • The VSS pin and LED (-) needs to be connected to Ground.
  • The LED (+) can be connected to 5V or 3.3V with a series resistor.
  • The VO pin is for changing the contrast of the display and can be connected to ground or a potentiometer.
  1. Connections to the Terminal Block (P1) would largely depend on what this block is used for in your project.
Please remember to make sure the voltage levels of your components match the tolerances of your NodeMCU, to prevent damaging it.
As a final note, please provide the schematic of your project or the missing parts for more specific help in connection.
