In this video, I show how to enable the different power modes of the ESP8266 chips and show their effects on power consumption.
Sometimes, this needs some tricks. At the end, we will have a low power ESP-12E.
As always, I use The Arduino IDE to do the programming.
I also show how to reduce the maximum current (current spikes) typical for these chips.
