hacking esp-01

blue led is connected to TX(GPIO1)

if not using TX to send serial data, can be used as an output pin

RX(GPIO3) can be used as input

GPIO1 can also be used as INPUT

GPIO1 is an OUTPUT at startup

If using as INPUT, be sure to add a series 330 Ohm resistor between the driver and INPUT pin to prevent shorting.

Setting GPIO3 (RX) as OUTPUT is not recommended.
