Module shutting down when wifi is used

Postby artium » Sat Jul 20, 2019 8:56 am

I am using the following dev kit from geekworm which is based on WROVER.

http://www.raspberrypiwiki.com/index.ph ... R-i_DevKit

When I try simple examples from esp-idf, everything is working great.

I get problems when I try one of the Wifi examples, for example the "station" example here:

https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tr ... ed/station

The serial connection dies and it seems that the module is constantly restarting itself:

It is not an ordinary restart as usually the serial connection does not disconnect.

I have read that this could be caused by power issues during wifi manual callibration, but this is a devkit with voltage regulator and capacitor and I suppose that they designed it for wifi usage, otherwise it would be pointless to use ESP32.

Check your USB lead then. A fair amount of cheaper (and some non-cheap) USB leads have thin cables, leading to voltage drop and brown-outs.

Hello,

Are you using recommended power supply with that kit? Which rating of power supply you are using?

Because issue might be like power supply as mentioned by Sprite that defaukt example without wifi is working but with wifi is not working as it consumes some power when you are enabling radio as well.
