Connecting multiple esp01 to pc power supplies, how to implement?

Question

Arduino

I decided to connect several esp01 to the power supplies.
grn - grn, vcc and chip_en on 3.3v of the power supply (if you do not connect chip_en to 3.3v, then the modal starts but without wifi)
When you connect 1 esp, everything is ok, but when you connect several in parallel, the block goes into protection in a second. (I thought I made a short circuit somewhere, I checked each one by distance, but no - it doesn’t work.)

How to connect several esp to the same power supply?

Answer 1

Try loading the +12 and +5 lines ( yellow and red respectively) with something like a light bulb. It is possible that it goes into protection due to a skew in the loads.
Or, another option is to power the ESP through a converter up to 3.3V , and try connecting it to + 5 or +12 , maybe this will help.
To eliminate high-frequency noise - near each consumer (on its side), put a small ceramic capacitor, for example 0.1 μF.
Check the modules individually, maybe just one of them is dead.
PS: what kind of device is planned, if not a military secret?

Answer 2

Several is how many? The power supply has a load limit, since you didn’t indicate which one you have, I found the first one that came across, it has a limit of 3.3V 24A, the consumption of one ESP is 220 mA, which means you can hang a little more than a hundred pieces at 24A, but this is the maximum load , it should not be long-term.
