Title: moteino current output
Post by: stern0m1 on February 23, 2016, 03:57:19 PM
How much current in mA can the 3 volts out pin provide on the moteino?

Im having trouble connecting th esp8266 wifi module so im wondering if its drawing to much current.

Thanks

The Moteino uses a MCP1702 regulator which puts out 250ma.  That in general is not enough to run the Moteino plus a radio plus an ESP8266.

My moteino keeps on restarting when i have an esp8266 connected. Does that mean its drawing to much power?
Thanks
