ESP32 Thing Plus Question about on/off switch to battery.

On the Feather ESP32 if I put a switch between En and ground I can turn the board off. How do I do this on the ESP32 Thing Plus?

Thank you.

Hi Steve,

This subforum is for the MicroMod ecosystem, so you might have better luck asking in the ESP forum: viewforum.php?f=97

That being said, I took a quick look at the ESP32 Thing Plus schematic/board file and it appears EN is actually not connected to anything. On Adafruit Feather boards, the EN pin is usually tied to the EN pin of the voltage regulator. The AP2112 on the ESP32 Thing Plus is permanently pulled HIGH (3.3 V), so you’ll likely need to add a switch between your power source/BAT pin.

Cheers,

Adam
