Hi
I have a bunch of arduino nano's, bunch of nodemcu v1.0, bunch of ESP01s and a few tb6560. All great components except I can't find the combination that will fit together for my project.
I am creating a curtain opener using 3A motors and hence the tb6560. I can get it to work with 5V arduino nano with no problems, except that I need wifi to control it from my phone. The nodemcu is a great device that I love using with my other projects, but it is 3V3. I tried using the ESP01 to add wireless functionality to my nano, but I have lots of issues compiling the code. I searched for the error that I am getting and all I found is people being discouraged from using the ESP01. I was going to use it with AT commands (which I used to do before the nodemcu), but the code will become very messy especially when I try to use it as a server.
What should I do? I'd really like to use what I have rather than having to buy new components. Can I get the nodemcu to work with tb6560? Would a voltage level converter work?
To me not finding any articles about this combination is kind of an indication that it may not work, after all all those components are popular.
I also thought of combining both boards, but I feel it's a waste because both are very powerful boards on their own with a lot of GPIOs between them.
