ESP32 Integration
We are integrating the ESP32 onto the PCB directly and removing the devkit. We cannot get low currents without it.
Load Switch Evaluation
Mode | Icc measured | |
---|---|---|
Deep sleep only | 10,4mA | |
Deep sleep with Wifi stop | 197µA | |
Deep sleep with WiFi stop and accessory power off | 98µA |

**We need to consider a debounce circuit or an external I2C counter chip for wind evaluation. For now, I prefer to use a time slice based approach. We can WAKE periodically to take wind evaluation data without powering up the WiFi radio.
