Re: Can the output current of the esp32 GPIO be reduced?
Thanks. If it is fine for the esp32 I will use it as is for the time being. I plan to develop a second version some time later, which should have additional peripherals on an external pcb and I will add a FET there then.

Re: Can the output current of the esp32 GPIO be reduced?
Reviving this older thread, I still do not fully understand what is now the maximum current that can be "continuously" drawn from one GPIO? In my application, the ESP32 needs to drive an external contactor, which draws 29mA from the pin. It works, but I don't know if that can safely be done for 1-2 ...
