ReplyDeleteTravis, Great video. I bought 2 of the plugs and am in the process of doing the project. I googled the pinout of the TYWE3S it seems that the pins on my drawing are flipped as compared to yours. With the WiFi antenna pointing to the right and being able to read the label on the chip, GND is on the top and to the far left, VCC in on the bottom and to the far left, Rx and Tx are on the top and to the far right. Is my drawing wrong ?????
