How can I drive 12v LEDs from my Arduino Nano?
You cannot directly drive 12V LEDs from arduino. If driving only one LED, use a transistor. Otherwise use a ULN2003 IC to drive multiple LEDs.
Better off, order the normal LEDs. …

How do I hook up an LED across the tx pin on my Atmega328?
In general it is not a good idea to draw a lot of current from your Rx and Tx lines to drive LEDs. The extra current draw can reduce your Fan-out to your target.
To avoid extra current draw from your …

Problem powering ESP8266 with two 1.5V AA cells
Some facts about your setup:
The typical operating voltage of ESP8266 is 3.3V
Your LDO / Regulator outputs 3.3V
Your LDO input is 3V
Your LDO isn't a boost converter.
In a nutshell, you can't powe …
