Loin32 (oder doch Lolin32?)

Ich habe neulich beim schnellen Ali ein Paar ESP32 Boards der Variante Loin32 erworben. Ich frage mich seit ich das Board habe, ob es sich bei der Aufschrift Loin32 um einen Schreibfehler handelt und ob es nicht eher Lolin heissen soll.

Put the ESP8266 to sleep

Sensorknoten sollen möglichst lange und unabhängig arbeiten können. Dennoch benötigen sie Strom, um mit der vorhandenen Energie möglichst effizient umgehen zu können, hat der ESP8266 und andere Controller die Möglichkeit in den Tiefschlaf zu gehen. Das schöne ist er kann sich nach fast beliebiger Zeit selbst wieder aufwecken. Ein Nachteil beim ESP8266 ist das er …
