Sorry to resurrect a year old topic but I just got here. Are you saying the 3V3 powered ESP8266 is 5V tolerant?

Hi Dave, long time!

Yes, that's correct. Haven't yet damaged an ESP by connecting it directly to the Tx, Rx pins on a USB to serial board.

Anand,

Thanks. I also found where the Espressif CEO confirmed this.

I have a project where I want to interface a WeMos D1 mini with a 5V serial device.
