Arduino smart blinds with tower pro servos mg996R

The WeMOS D1 is a terrible attempt at making an Arduino clone. Get the WeMOS mini

Do keep in mind that this are 3.3V boards, not 5V like the Arduino. That means that you can connect most sensors without level shifters, but also that some servos may not work (if 3.3V is too low a level for them). Also your MOSFETs need lower VGS(th), many logic level MOSFETs do not open well at 3.3V.

Thanks for the suggestion on the mini. All the videos on YT that do stuff like this are all development type projects. They aren't real life projects. Morning smart house may have one where he shows how to power everything with his kit. I'll take a closer look at that. Every other video has the power coming off the board on a bread board though.

What components do I need to power the board and the servos? Right now I'm planning on running the mini USB cable to the board and then running the 6-7volt 2a power supply right to the servo with it's signal wire and ground going back to the board. Does the 7v 2a power source get grounded on the board too? Do I need capacitors etc? Will this work?
