I want to upgrade a little IOT station powered with a solar panel, without powerbank.
Initially it was built on AVR cpu, now I want to upgrade it with WI-FI functionality.
I ran into this problem: when esp32-s2 is powered with low voltage (eg: sunrise), it doesn't respond correctly.
It need a manual reset to start working.
I've tried to implement BOD, watchdog to try to reset automatically, without success.
How to replicate the problem:
- esp32 s2 mini dev board
- put on firmware a simple blink example (with or without BOD&watchdog, doesn't matter)
- power the device using a laboratory power supply
- power with 5V: device start correctly
- without turning off, reduce voltage below 3V: device stop to work
- without turning off, increase the voltage up to 5V: device doesn't work
- without turning off, click reset button: device restart correctly
Thanks in advance,
NG
