ESP8266 Community Forum

Thanks, Mike helped on it cuz I am still 'fuzzy' on this whole 'wait' item - just not used to it hanging out......
I get around 15mm distance consistently.
I am also looking into rolling my own using a PIC so I can pump the coil with more energy than I am getting with the 3.3v.
I am more comfortable programming PICs but with the forum's help I am getting to know this little ESP.

Next thing is to have several and have their 'approved' tag IDs be sent out using Telnet I think.
Regards.

You can safely power the the tag reader with 5v and have no adverse afect on the esp it self. The i/o pins are 5 volt tolerat. You just cant run the power of the esp off of 5 v as it will burn out.

Thanks Mike!
I will try that!
Regards.
