Hey! I know this is a raspberry pi server but I didn't know any other place to ask. I have an ESP32-WROOM-32 and it seems to only have a 3.3v output and i need a 5v out to power my lcd, i've found that connecting it to the VIN pin gives me the 5v that i need but is that okay to do since its supposed to be the input? Thanks in advance.

The picture of the Pin layout doesn't say anything. Have a look at the schematic over the ESP32-WROOM-32 Devkit or rather use the official documentation from Expressif. https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32/hw-reference/esp32/get-started-devkitc.html There you will see that VIN on your picture is labelled +5V and in the schematic that +5V is directly from USB +5v.
