Hi
Does anyone know what the maximum safe current that can be supplied from the 3.3v pins on Odrive. I am intending powering my processor (ESP32) from 3.3v-GND but cannot find anywhere in the docs what current it may be able to supply.
The ODrive uses an AZ1117 LDO to supply the 3v3 rail. In theory, you could pull up to an amp. That being said, you’ll be limited by heating and the power draw of the other devices on the board, so I probably wouldn’t go above 200-300 milliamps. If you think you’ll draw more than that, an external regulator would be a good idea.
thanks for the info, i have been offline for a while otherwise would have replied earlier
