Re: Design for power supply from source >12V low quiescent current

Tha k you, Thomas. Somewhat like them is exactly what I was looking for.

They tell "don't use without or with load less than 10% of output rating". Any experience what happens, if the Wemos goes to sleep?

Re: Design for power supply from source >12V

Thank you for the tipp. But unfortunately these kinds of regulators are not useable for me because of their high quiescent current.

I should have pointed out, that a quiescent current below 1mA is a prerequisite for me, sorry.

Re: measuring battery voltage and running LDR parallel?

Recommendation: for voltage measurement just take an INA219, so you are free to use the A/D for whatever you want. The power consumption of the INA219 compared to the power consumption of the Wemos is negligible. The INA219 draws a current in µA range. In the beginning in some applications I decided...

Re: problem displaying on a Nextion screen

Thanks for the fast reply.

Part of the Nextion editor is a font generator, with which I am able to generate fixed fonts. The codec of the fonts I am working with is iso-8859-1. So the code should be B0 I think.

List of the supported codecs:
