I'm putting an Espressif ESP32-S2 Dev KitM-1 into a project box. The box will have 12VDC power and a 5V buck converter for the Dev Kit.
Do I need to use the USB port to power the Dev Kit or can I directly wire 5VDC to the 5V pin (and ground, of course) to power it?
The official documentation has
Power Supply Options
There are three mutually exclusive ways to provide power to the board:
- Micro-USB Port, default power supply
- 5V and GND pin headers
- 3V3 and GND pin headers
