What in your description indicates that you "Destroy ESP8266"? One thing I see in your schematic, you are using 5V to power NodeMCU, form what I read in docs recommended power is 3V although there is a pin-out you seem to be using that can run this unit at 5Volts I would try to reconfigure to use 3V or USB power to test. Unless you have requirement to run this at 5V.
The value of the power supply is in the safe range:
No, as far as I can see he connects +5V to the 3.3V pin, not to the 5V pin. The 5V pin (VDD 5V) goes through the onboard 1117-3.3V regulator but the 3.3V pin he is using goes straight into the ESP chip. The chip will die because 5V on it's 3.3V pin is too much.
From schematic PIN 15 is 5V VDD

From your Schematics it looks a bit that you don't Connect Ground of the NodeMCU. Is this an Error in your Schematics?
My block diagram is not 100% precise..the GND pin used is pin 7 from the "right" side. I have to say that all the time the entire pcb was near (5-10 cm) a bunch of wires powered with 230V AC (@ 60Hz)
Hi,
I have managed to burn 4 ESP8266 on a dev. board (https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-devkit-v1.0), and the reason is still unknown for me.
The history is like this: After I have burned the: – 1st one I removed GPIO10 from my code an also let if floating, – 2nd I have reduced the current for driving MOC3041 from 15 to 7.6mA, – 3rd I removed the ADC In setting (analogRead) from my code, even if I don t use it for anything, yet.
Now I have the following circuit: 220V AC -> Power transformer from 220 to 6V (AC) -> Rectifier bridge (Vout ~8.6V DC) -> 2 capacitors (470uF + 100nF) -> LM7805 -> Power the ESPshield to Pin 15 (+) and Pin 7 (-) -> use Pin8/GPIO14 as an output to power an opto-triac MOC3041 (current was limited to 7.6mA using a 270ohm resistor) ->a triac to drive a load of 21W (7 x AC LED lamp) -> Pin1/GPIO16 used as an input (if pin state is changed than also the output is changed).
After running the application ~15 minutes (Playing on/off via web requests) I have played also a little bit with the input pin and everything worked as expected. Then I have decided to let lamps ON (input pin was pulled to GND - Red led from shield lit), but after ~5 -10 minute the lamps turned off (Red led from shield remained on) and now the 4th ESP is dead.
I have checked the value of current limiting resistor for the Red Led (470 ohm, value was obtained after I have removed the resistor from the shield) and from my calculations the current ~3.2mA is small enough not to damage the ESP, and now I have no idea what I m doing wrong. If you think that is relevant I can provide also the code (written using Arduino IDE)
Have anyone an idea that can help me with this issue?
