Hi All. An Arduino newbie here.
Let us say, you made a small project where you need to leave one of these boards below in the middle of nowhere with only battery power.
What kind of connector would you use between this board and the battery?
How do you guys go about powering a board like this for standalone, battery operated situations?
(Right now, it runs off the power that it gets through micro usb cable)
Ty for the replies!
First approximation, if you have battery, feed battery voltage to a buck converter set to the voltage the ESP needs. That means your ESP won't see declining voltage as the battery discharges.
But I'm no low-power, battery guru. Others will contribute, I'm sure.
Ty. Obviously something is getting soldered with your connectors. Can you please tell me what is being soldered to what and to where? Ty
Ah, sorry, lost track of the Subject. Looks to me like you have help.
What external voltage will you power the ESP, 3V3 or 5V?
1 9 volt battery.
You will need a 9V to 5V voltage regulator to power the ESP through the GND and 5V pins.
If it is for small consumption you can use the AMS1117.
What is your experience with electricity/electronics?
