Make a 3.3 volt regulator for ESP8266
Wednesday, May 10, 2017
3.3 volt power supply is one of the main issue when we use ESP8266 - 01 as a standalone board. The board runs in 3.3 voltage . More than this voltage, it may damage your board. In this tutorial I am going to show how to make a simple 3.3 volt regulator for your ESP8266 board. You can make this at a cost of 0.4$ (~20 rupees). There are also available some 3.3 volt power supply for purchase but there cost is more than this.
Parts required.
 |
1.
LM317 regulator IC
2.
220 uf capacitor
3.
10 uf capacitor
4.
390 ohms resistor
5.
240 ohms resistor
6.
Small piece of perfboard
7.
Female header pins

Different steps of making the regulator
STEPS
1. Connect the female header pin
2. Connect the lm317 regulator ic
3. Connect the 220uf capacitor
4. Connect the 390 ohms resistors on the back side of the perfboard
5. Connect the 240 ohms resistors on the back side of the perfboard
6. Connect the 10uf capacitor
7.Finally connect the esp8266
Then you can take out the connection from GPIO 0 and GPIO 2 as shown in the above circuit diagram.
