      Hi all ,
      i have 6 Lopy working nicely as BLE scanner with an ER17505 battery ( lithium 3.6V).
      Adding two more give me some problems.... with the last firmware and same setup (battery / program )
      the two LoPy just go into a reset loop with :

      Brownout detector was triggered

      Is there a way to lower the brownout level or any workarround for this firmware ?
      Can i downgrade the firmware anymore ( i saw that the last i flashed required a program update ) ?

      thank's in advance.

        ok ,
        After flashing back to 1.6... no more problems.
        so 3.6V powered ( on 5V or 3.3V ) with this kind of battery issue a BDO with last firmware.
        Maybe this information can help others.

          This was due to a change in the ESP32 IDF a couple of month ago. I've seen the brownout also in some C projects on the WROOM32. Make sure you can compensate when the MCU is spiking in power consumption by placing a big capacitor in the circuit. Google is your friend.
