Hi guys

What's the exclamation point icon when selecting from the GPIO/1 Wire drop down menu when editing hardware? Pic attached to show what I mean. I can't find anything in the documentation.

Thanks

Matt

The triangles are traditional caution icons. In other words, you MUST know what you are doing if you use those pins because it might be a bad idea for your application. For example: GPIO-0, GPIO-2 and GPIO-15 are boot mode pins. GPIO-9 and GPIO10 are reserved for DIO flash memory use. And so on.

Before using these cautionary pins, I strongly recommend that you use google to see how to work around ESP8266's pin restrictions.

Aah, yes of course. Makes perfect sense now. Thanks!
