I'm seeing cars with the rear view mirror is just a screen. At that point you shouldn't have to adjust it

When I tell people I'm vegan in c/vegan

I feel like my normal response when someone tells me they are vegan is, do you mind picking the lunch spot then? I struggle to find vegan friendly spots.

How much current can I safely pull from an ESP8266? in c/[email protected]

[–] zorro 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It helps ensure that levels between 2.5v and 5.5v can be fed to the controller without breaking anything. For some cheaper power supplies you might get a voltage drop when starting to pull load, this will clean that up and prevent the voltage from dropping too low for the microcontroller.
If I'm reading the correct datasheet I can see it is current limiting so it should shutdown when overdrawn.

If I'm reading the part number right that regulator is rated for a current limit of 400mA At 5v that's 2 watts.
