(Apologies if this has been posted before but i am at a loss and looking for advice as to whats wrong)
Running ESP8266(LiLon NodeMCU V3)
Followed this guide:
This is the setup
And it just wont turn, check everything over and over and the website loads and click the buttons fine it shows in the Serial Monitor, only thing i have found is everything's getting hot like 70C + is that normal for a ESP8266?
Here is the code,
