Power consumption with CH_PD not high? (ESP-01)
Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2017 12:29 pmHey!
I came across the simple "push button" from https://www.hackster.io/iboboc/smartbutton-pro-06ce5d and was wondering how much power is consumed when CH_PD is not connected, because:
The chip is not "active", but still the red "power"-LED is on. Would the power consumption really ==0 if i remove the LED manually?
My first thought was it would be better to use a GPIO2 (OR 100k+Button) driven BC546B before the VIN/CH_PD.
What do you think?
