I'm doing a wifi RC car project, have an L298N connected to my DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1 board that controls 4 6V motors, each 2 motors are connected to the same side, I control it using a webserver, sometimes when I drive in any direction it works for a second then the esp32 resets, sometimes it works f…

You should never post in the ESP32 section unless you have a real Arduino brand ESP32 product. For all other versions post in a more relevant category. Therefore I have moved your post here. You might want to look at this How to get the best out of this forum before you proceed any further. As to…

[image] This is the diagram I used to wire my components except that I added 2 motors which take the same signal, also I'm not using the L298N 5V to power the esp, the power bank is feeding it from its USB port. and here's also the code running it // An RC car via a simple webserver #include <W…

I'm new to electronics but no they don't have flyback diodes.
