Sure, you can add a MOSFET as a switch to control power to a device using your WeMos D1 mini. For the purpose of this guide, I will assume you're using an n-channel MOSFET. However, please provide more specific details if you're using a different type of MOSFET or if you have other requirements.
Since the WeMos D1 mini operates at 3.3V and its pins are not 5V tolerant, make sure to select an n-channel MOSFET that has a low VGS threshold (less than 2V would be ideal).
To add and connect a MOSFET to your WeMos D1 mini, let's say the designator for the transistor is Q1 and it has three pins:
  1. Source (S)
  2. Drain (D)
  3. Gate (G)
Here are some assumptions I'll base my suggestions on:
  1. You will connect the MOSFET to a GPIO of the WeMos D1 mini that supports output functionality.
  2. You wish to control the on/off state of the MOSFET based on the output signal from WeMos D1 mini.
  3. The device controlled by the MOSFET should be connected to the Drain (D) and Source (S) and is within the voltage and current ratings of the WeMos D1 mini board.
The connections can be made as follows:
  • Connect U1:GND to Q1:S (Ground the source of the MOSFET).
  • Connect U1:D0 (or any other digital output pin) to Q1:G (Control the MOSFET gate with WeMos GPIO).
  • Connect Q1:D to your load.
Please ensure your circuit is designed accordingly considering the current and voltage limitations of your MOSFET and the WeMos D1 mini. Make sure the GPIO you select supports Output functionality as per the WeMos D1 mini hardware specifications.

Sure, let's add a MOSFET key to your project. We are going to use a commonly used N-channel MOSFET called the IRF540 for this example.
Designator: Q1
MPN: IRF540 Pins: 1 (name: GATE), 2 (name: DRAIN), 3 (name: SOURCE) Element Properties: Designator Prefix: Q
Let's assume that we're using the MOSFET as a switch controlled by your WeMos D1 mini. A common way to connect them is as follows:
  • Connect the D1 mini's GPIO pin to the MOSFET gate. This will allow you to control the on-off state of the MOSFET by sending high or low voltage from your D1 mini's GPIO pin.
  • The drain terminal of the MOSFET connects to one side of your load (e.g., LED, motor, etc.). The other side of your load connects to the positive terminal of your power supply.
  • The source terminal of the MOSFET then connects to the ground of your power supply.
Depending on your project requirements, you may need additional components such as a pull-down resistor or a protection diode.
Please note that you must add the IRF540 component to your Flux project before making these connections and update the pin connections according to your specific project requirements. Feel free to specify other components or requirements, so I can refine my suggestions.
