5V Breakout Board that supports Adafruit IO

Post by PalS »

Hello Adafruit Team,

I was researching to check if there are 5v Adafruit boards that would connect to the Adafruit IO dashboard. Before I place an order, I want to make sure I purchase the right one.

I see the list here

https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-a ... e-hardware

It looks like the Metro M4 Express is one with 5V and can connect to the Adafruit IO dashboard. Are there any smaller boards similar to HUZZAH ESP8266 or HUZZAH ESP32? I have 3 of each and not sure if I can use them for 5V needs. Appreciate any help here.

Thanks

Just to clarify - are you wanting 5V logic? Or just the ability to power with 5V?

Thanks for the response. I am looking for both.

1) List of boards that supports 5V that can connect Adafruit IO dashboard
2) Possibility of using existing ESP8266 HUZZAH and ESP32 HUZZAH boards to add 5v supply for certain sensors

Still not sure what you're trying to do here. Can you provide an example? Is there some specific use case you have in mind? Like you have an existing 5V only breakout board of some kind?
2) Possibility of using existing ESP8266 HUZZAH and ESP32 HUZZAH boards to add 5v supply for certain sensors
Checkout the product guides for details. Pretty much all the Adafruit boards have voltage regulators which can accept 5V input for power. The boards are still 3.3V logic though.

Thanks again!

I was trying to add a servo motor (Micro servo SG93) and MQ-3 sensor to ESP8266 and ESP32 it didn't function at all. Then I tried just the servo motor it was not working. The same code and both the sensors work fine on a 5V Arduino Uno or WiFi Rev 2 board. I am sending values to the IO dashboard, I need a board with 5V that also connects to the Adafruit IO dashboard. Hope this clarifies.

If you have the Feather versions of the Huzzah boards, you can add the 8-channel PWM Servo FeatherWing board to drive the servo motor, then you can wire up the sensor using i2c or SPI.

Some of the other Feather boards have a Stemma QT connector that makes it much easier to connect i2c devices, such as this one: https://www.adafruit.com/product/5400
