[SOLVED]Connecting esp8266 using a 5V dc source and a 10K pot

Wawa:
Depends on which of Arduino.
The Mega and Uno_R3 are 150mA (50mA is wrong in the datasheet).
A Nano is 50mA, and a Nano clone is <20mA.
Still better to use an external 3.3volt 1117.
Leo..

When he said 50mA, I automatically assumed a Nano.
