I’m not worried, that the esp is actively powering the USB oort due to an external power source, because I don’t use them. But is there a risk that the esp is sorting the power on the USB because of a mistake on my end by for example shorting 5v and Ground? Can it happen for any other reason? For example faulty parts on the esp?
It hasn’t happened yet but I am worried that it might happen in the future.
i wouldn’t force it, but also wouldn’t worry too much. shorted an arduino nano once while hooked up to serial, it burned a schotky diode on the board which I’ve had to replace but the usb was fine
