If you are only blinking LEDs and stuff, you can disable the RF section:

80mA will drop to about 40mA or so.

The rPi_Zero_W requires 650+ mA when Bluetooth & WiFi are active ... on par with ESP8266.

Hi guys,

I just want you all to know that I figured out the problem.
Since the beginning I was using this USB-Serial converter (PL2303).
I changed to this (FT232RL) and everything started working without errors.
Every time I upload a code to my ESP it boots without errors.
Thank all of you for the patience and the tips.
Cold case

Best regards,
LA
