Well… stepped it down one at a time, way down to 100K Ohms resistor…
OH BOY!
So anyone that want to do it with a D1 mini or I guess any other esp8266 based board that isn’t very fancy, as far as I can tell, should use a ~100K resistor
Thank you so much for your dedication to help others and give so much of your time, it’s very much appreciated!
** I will solder the components onto a demo pcb and will print a 3d case for it, I will post here the results
