- Thu Jun 16, 2016 3:53 am #49264 Hi! I'm using the white adapter for ESP12. I use an external regulator so I connect directly 2 smd pins at downside of the adapter. Everything seem to work correctly exept I have a very high current during deepsleep (about 500uA ). I don't have this problem with my older ESP with a 6206A regulator mounted (current about 40uA during deepsleep).

Anyone know where this problem come from ? It took me a lot of time try to figure out the problem but never succeed.

Thank you

Connections on underside - None.
Connections on top - Middle SMD resistor needs to be 0 ohms.

- Fri Jun 17, 2016 4:14 am #49320 My middle SMD resistor is 10k.

After remove the regulator for my old ESP, the current in deepsleep is still 40uA, so the problem I think is not come from the regulator.

Does we have some lots of ESP have a fault current in deepsleep
