ESP32 Forum

Hi guys, I would like to know your suggestions on some issues that I have with my esp32 board.

I am using a DOIT kit to develop a low power consumption alarm system powered by a super cap. I was able to significantly drop the current consumption thanks to the ULP and deep-sleep.
Here is my problem, once the device reboots the current consumption is few mA (which is too high), however, if i plug in and out the USB the current consumption drops to normal deep-sleep consumption, around 100 uA (as it should be).
If I don't do the USB trick the current required stays in the mA range.

Do you have any thoughts on what is going on and how to solve it?

Thank you.

Have you tried disabling all the UART log output? Maybe it is waking up the USB chip?

Thanks for your reply,
How will I achieve that with ESP-IDF?

Actually I also would like to completely disable Bluetooth and Wifi as I don't need them at all for my project, the best would be if they don't start at all, any idea for that too?
