Hello
I have this board WIFI D1 R2 ESP8266 dev. board, 32M flash
https://robotdyn.com/pub/media/0G-00005 ... SP8266.pdf
https://robotdyn.com/pub/media/0G-00005 ... SP8266.pdf
The board is programmed using Arduino IDE.
The board is powered from external 9DC 3A power supply.
I am using GPIO16 to turn on/off the servo MG995 DC Power (provided from additional DC/DC Step down converter) via Mosfet IRF530. Since the board has 3.3v logic, I'm using Bi-Direction Logic Level Converter beetwen the GPIO16 and IRF530
https://robotdyn.com/pub/media/0G-00005 ... gLevel.pdf
The Mosfet is conencted like this:
Rin = 1k, Rgs = 100k
The problem is, while the board is booting, there is high state on this pin and servo is randomly moving, because there is no PWM signal yet.
Then I decided to change GPIO16 logic and turning the Mosfet with low state. So I disconnected Bi-Direction Logic Converter, and placed there (between the pin and Mosfet) the NPN transistor as simple inverter like this:
R1, R2 = 10k
The result of this is the board won't boot at all.
I noticed that when I disconnect the servo, the board is booting OK.
I noticed also that when the servo is connected, but the board is powered from USB (not from external power supply), it can boot normally...
Please help, Best regards, Damian.
