Here's a breadboard version I knocked up for nodemcu esp8266 which I had kicking about, wemos d1 mini uses the same pin D7 to send data to the transistor via the resistor. On the nodemcu esp8266 I am using vin and gnd pins to power that, but wemos d1mini has a 5v in pin instead of vin - so just use that. I used a 2n2222 transistor as this is what I had kicking about. Maybe on other transistors the emitter and collector pins are opposite - if that's the case, just turn the transitor 180 degrees and wire the same as in the picture and it will work.
Here's how it looks on a breadboard, tested and working by me.
(D7 to orange wire to Resistor - Transistor Middle leg.)
I did have some issues powering the nodemcu from vcc pin sometimes, but I just needed to unplug the usb from the ps4 and plug the cable directly into the nodemcu - then unplug it and put it back into the small micro usb breadboard and it worked fine - maybe I have a faulty nodemcu, I don't imagine the same issues would occur on the webmos d1mini though.
If you get a "not enough free memory" error on the ps4, just press ok and the page loads automatically - and eventually goldhen loads, no need to unplug when turning off or on the ps4 either as the usb on the drive can't send any data until the exploit is activated.
