JohnRob:
I'm afraid the IR2301 requires a minimum logic supply of 5V. And if you were able to supply the 5V to the IR2301 the input high minimum could be as low as 2.9V.If you could find a way to supply 5V, you might try this device Mosfet Driver
BTW Sorry my last post was redundant
I didn't see Wawa's 3.3v statement.
I've been following Great Scott on his YouTube channel and have seen him using a TC4420 driver with NodeMCU.
When I wrote this post I really wasn't expecting such great response. It's made me realise that I've got a lot to learn to do something that I thought would be simple
