|GND|GND|
|
|
|VCC5|MOSFET driven by D5|
|
|
|
|
For VCC5 you can power it directly all the time with an USB cable or use a MOSFET like [here](https://gitlab.com/stavros/A6-ESP8266-breakout/raw/master/images/schematic.png)
|
|
|
|
Don't use the nodemcu/wemos 5V pin for the A6/7 power, use a dedicated power supply for both or dedicated to the A6/7 with at least 2 amps ability.
|
|
|
|
So as to start your A6/7 module press the red button for 4 seconds, or link the PWR_KEY GPIO to VCC5.0 for the same time.
