I bought three different ESP8266 development boards, one if which has the Wemos logo on it but I can't find pictures of it when searching for the "Wemos D1 Mini Pro" which it was sold as so I'm guessing it's a clone.
My question is about choosing pins which will be used to drive MOSFETs to power RGB LED strips. Are there pins I should avoid using because they have other purposes? Pin numbers are really confusing because physical pin numbers don't match the numbers used in code. Take the below image for instance: pin number 4 is labelled D0 on the board and is also known as GPIO16. I'm not sure what number I'm meant to use in my Arduino sketch. Also, does the pin number differ depending on whether you're using Lua or Arduino sketch code? I need to choose three pins. Thanks for any direction!
