Title: ESP32 EVB supply voltage
Post by: Flying panda on May 02, 2025, 08:22:43 PM
Is it possible to make a version of the board that accepts 5-60V supply input that goes through terminal blocks? This would be more useful for industrial applications.

It would be impossible without changing the dimensions of the board, and changing the dimensions will lead to big compatibility problems. Converting 60V to 5V requires a lot of components to be done efficiently. Maybe consider this external convertor to use before the ESP32-EVB, it can convert 50V input to 5V output:
