Serial Connection

Please see the Hardware Preparation page for general instructions.

LED State

The S26 has a red LED connected to GPIO12 along with the relay so it's not possible to disable the power button LED entirely. Setting LedState 0 disables the blue LED when the relay is turned on and reserves it for Wi-Fi/MQTT state only.

Soldering guide

Apply rosin to shaved wires. Solder tin to the flats on the module.(First put solder tip to flat and apply tin). Gently solder the wires.

Alternative solder points available for 3V3, GND and RX on the underside of the mainboard.

Jumper Pin
