Re: Control some 5Volt leds with mqtt
First of all - you can't use two normal 5mm LEDs in series (driven from the Wemos +3.3V line) as the forward voltage drop across each LED is approx 1.8V. So two in series is 3.6V which means they won't turn on. Here are a couple of very quick and VERY rough sketches for you. One shows two LEDs in se...

The ESP8266 and Wemos D1 Mini are +3V3 devices - so please don't connect +5V to them. You can use a transistor to buffer the ESP8266 to the 5V LEDs or even a relay or a level shifter. Small single LEDs normally run off of 1.6V, so you could think about having two in series with a suitable current li...

Looking at your photo it would appear you are using the on-board Rainsun antenna.
If you plan to use the external antenna (to get an increased WiFi range) then you will need to move the 0-ohm resistor (not an easy task as I found to my cost!!).

The large capacitor acts as smoothing capacitor whilst the small one should deal with any nasty spikes on the PSU rail.
