exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

I didnt spend a lot of time on this but @erique asked me to design an Amiga to ESP-01 dongle that (ideally) didnt need external power. I understand the manual specs 20mA for the 12V line but in reality i'd like to know what it can really do.

Anyways take a look.

FWIW as far as i can tell the 20mA limit on the serial port is either made up or a function of the worst known PSU to exist. There is simply a 47 Ohm resistor between the raw 12v line. Which would give a limit of 250mA if my maths are correct.

Nice, so that gizmo will add WiFi just like the ESP header on the TF360?

Yup. Not particularly fast but nice and cheap.
