Wemos D1 5v powering issues #1

Open FabioEnne opened 6 years ago

FabioEnne commented 6 years ago

the problem is that if I connect the WEMOS via USB it ALWAYS load in the right way, but if I'm powering it via the 5V pin 95% of the time it fails to correctly startup requiring to press the reset button in order to solve the problen, but sometimes it doesn't solve the problem, do you know why? I'm powering it around 4.9-5.1V is it relevant should I reduce the Voltage or rising it?

Hmm, I haven't had problems like that I think.

Maybe try put a large cap (220uf maybe) between 5v and ground and see if that helps.

If you are using a buck converter like me you could adjust to 3.3v and connect to the 3.3v pin directly and see does it work better

Hi! Thank you for your videos! I am trying to control the led brightness using the rotary encoder, but it seems that it is not working with my ESp8266-12 D1 mini. I am getting an "ets Jan 8 2013,first cause:2, boot mode:(3,6)" error. Have you come across a similar issue? Thank you for any help!
