| Mar 12, 2018 at 6:11 | comment | added | Juraj♦ | no no, the regulator is ok. 3.3 V pin on Uno can provide only 50mA. normal is connecting Vcc and CH_PD together but the 3.3 V is not strong enough to power esp8266. I wonder that powering only CH_PD from stronger source helped. | |

| Mar 11, 2018 at 12:23 | comment | added | Juraj♦ | powering CH_PD from 5V did the trick. I suspect it powers the WiFi part | |
