  • 20. VIN (INPUT VOLTAGE): Input voltage pin. Connect to an external power source (up to 12V) for the on-board voltage regulator.
  • 21. GND: Ground pin. Connect to the ground of the power supply or other components in the circuit.
  • 22. uC/datatables (Reserved): Reserved pin. Do not connect anything to this pin.
  • Connecting the Pins
  • When connecting the pins, ensure you follow the recommended guidelines:
  • Use a logical power supply pinout to avoid damaging the module.
  • Make sure to connect the GND pins to a common ground point in your circuit.
  • Use appropriate pull-up or pull-down resistors for input pins, if required.
  • Be cautious when using the GPIO pins as inputs or outputs to avoid electrical overstress.
  • Follow the recommended I2C and UART pin configurations for proper communication.
  • Remember to refer to the datasheet and application notes for specific guidelines on pin usage, voltage levels, and current ratings to ensure safe and reliable operation of the Witty Cloud ESP12F Module.

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
// Connect to Wi-Fi
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
  }
Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");
  Serial.println("IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}
void loop() {
  // Send data to cloud platform
  HTTPClient http;
  http.begin("http://example.com/iot/data");
  http.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
  int httpCode = http.POST("{""temperature"": 24.5, ""humidity"": 60.2}");
if (httpCode > 0) {
    String response = http.getString();
    Serial.println(response);
  } else {
    Serial.println("Error sending data to cloud");
  }
http.end();
  delay(10000);
}
```
Example 2: MicroPython Example - Reading Temperature and Humidity
This example demonstrates how to use the Witty Cloud ESP12F Module with MicroPython to read temperature and humidity data from a connected sensor and send it to a cloud-based platform.
```python

import urequests
# Initialize temperature and humidity sensor (e.g., DHT11)
dht = machine.DHT(machine.Pin(2), machine.DHT11)
while True:
    # Read temperature and humidity data
    dht.measure()
    temperature = dht.temperature()
    humidity = dht.humidity()
# Create JSON payload
    data = {"temperature": temperature, "humidity": humidity}
# Send data to cloud platform
    response = urequests.post("http://example.com/iot/data", json=data)
    print(response.text)
utime.sleep(10)
```
Example 3: Lua Example - Controlling an LED
This example demonstrates how to use the Witty Cloud ESP12F Module with Lua to control an LED connected to the module's GPIO pins.
```lua

gpio.mode(2, gpio.OUTPUT)
while true do
    -- Toggle LED state
    gpio.write(2, gpio.HIGH)
    tmr.delay(1000000) -- 1 second delay
    gpio.write(2, gpio.LOW)
    tmr.delay(1000000) -- 1 second delay
