I am observing some interesting behavior. I have one ESP32S3 module being TX and one being RX, communicating with ESPNOW. The TX sends data every 20ms, and here are what I observed: 1. If the TX sends data in broadcast, the current draw of the whole module is around 100mA~150mA (5V), whether if the ...
