I chased a reliability problem with an RPi3 for a while before figuring out it was a poor quality USB cable that I was using for power.
Not saying that’s your issue obviously, but I spent a couple more hours than I really should have swapping USB power bricks but not the cable (because it was threaded through the printer enclosure and laziness prevailed).
- sodality2 3y agoI didn’t consider that as highly as the outlet adapter since that’s what pushes the amperage and wattage, but thanks, I’ll definitely be investigating that next!
- alias_neo 3y agoI've found cable quality to be quite important for Raspberry Pi, particularly if you're not using an official adapter, the head room can be low and the resistance of the cable can tip it over. I haven't had major issues with ESP devices but I try to keep them on <30cm cables of decent quality and ensure they're shielded. Though I haven't tested experimentally, I'd expect low quality, poorly shielded cables to have some effect on the signal quality.
