Power Supply Options
There are three mutually exclusive ways to provide power to the board:
• USB Type-C to UART Port and ESP32-C61 USB Type-C Port (either one or both), default power supply
(recommended)
• 5V and GND pin headers
• 3V3 and GND pin headers
Current Measurement
The J5 headers on ESP32-C61-DevKitC-1 (see J5 in Figure
the current drawn by the ESP32-C61-WROOM-1 module:
• Remove the jumper: Power supply between the module and peripherals on the board is cut off. To measure
the module's current, connect the board with an ammeter via J5 headers.
• Apply the jumper (factory default): Restore the board's normal functionality.
Note: When using 3V3 and GND pin headers to power the board, please remove the J5 jumper, and connect an
ammeter in series to the external circuit to measure the module's current.
