Output voltage

[Marrkinho]

Wanted to confirm if the input/output voltage is 3.3V or 5V depending on the I/O structure of my pin .

I scoped a PWM signal with the board connected to the PC and on the dedicated pin I see the signal in  mV. I would like to send a higher voltage through that pin by connecting an external power supply then scope it , but I believe is not possible  due to its tolerance and perhaps the fact that I can't power the board anything more than 5V if i'm not wrong . I am a bit of confused on why on the scope I get the signal in mV when powered via USB.

Chip is not running at 5V

The pins can only sink/source relatively low amounts of current, you'll need a buffer for relays and motors, for example.

Check output voltage on pin without LOAD

Most of the IO pins are Five volt tolerant (FT pins) as input but the voltage level could not exceed VDD as output (max 3.6 V).

Example: 

For 5V output and according to your application, you need a voltage level shifter example: https://www.digikey.com/en/blog/logic-level-shifting-basics
