Design with ESP-01 Adapter Module 3.3-5V in Cirkit DesignerThe ESP-01 Adapter Module 3.3-5V is a compact and efficient voltage regulator designed to simplify the integration of the ESP-01 Wi-Fi module into electronic projects. It converts a 5V input to the 3.3V required by the ESP-01, ensuring stable operation and protecting the module from overvoltage damage. This adapter is particularly useful for hobbyists and developers working with microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
This circuit consists of a TP4056 module connected to a 3.7V LiPo battery, providing a charging interface for the battery. The TP4056 manages the charging process by connecting its B+ and B- pins to the battery's positive and ground terminals, respectively.

This circuit is a power monitoring and control system that uses an ESP32 microcontroller to read voltage and current values from multiple sensors, calculate power consumption, and send notifications via a SIM800L GSM module. It also includes a TP4056 module for battery charging, a step-up boost converter, and an AC-DC converter to power the system, with the ability to control lights through a relay based on SMS commands.

This circuit features an ESP32 Devkit V1 microcontroller connected to a Bi-Directional Logic Level Converter, which facilitates voltage level shifting between the ESP32 and external components. The ESP32 is powered through its VIN pin via an alligator clip cable, and the logic level converter is connected to various pins on the ESP32 to manage different voltage levels for communication.

This circuit features an ESP32 Devkit V1 microcontroller interfaced with an RFM95 LoRa transceiver module for long-range communication and a SIM800L GSM module for cellular connectivity. Two LM2596 step-down modules are used to regulate the 12V battery voltage down to 3.3V required by the ESP32, RFM95, and SIM800L. The ESP32 facilitates data exchange between the RFM95 and SIM800L, enabling the system to send/receive data over both LoRa and GSM networks.
Open Project in Cirkit DesignerThe ESP-01 Adapter Module has a simple pin layout for easy integration. Below is the pin configuration:
| Pin Name | Description |
|---|---|
| VCC | 5V input power supply |
| GND | Ground connection |
| TX | Transmit pin for serial communication (connected to ESP-01 TX) |
| RX | Receive pin for serial communication (connected to ESP-01 RX) |
| 3.3V | Regulated 3.3V output (used internally to power the ESP-01 module) |

Programming the ESP-01:
Below is an example of how to use the ESP-01 with an Arduino UNO for basic communication:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
// Define software serial pins for communication with ESP-01
SoftwareSerial espSerial(2, 3); // RX, TX
void setup() {
// Initialize serial communication with the ESP-01
espSerial.begin(9600);
Serial.begin(9600); // For debugging via Serial Monitor
// Send a test command to the ESP-01
espSerial.println("AT");
}
void loop() {
// Check if the ESP-01 has sent any data
if (espSerial.available()) {
String response = espSerial.readString();
Serial.println("ESP-01 Response: " + response); // Print response to Serial Monitor
}
// Check if the user has sent any data via Serial Monitor
if (Serial.available()) {
String command = Serial.readString();
espSerial.println(command); // Send command to ESP-01
}
}
