I have made a wifi controlled car using nodemcu. It works fine if I connect nodemcu to a separate 5v supply.

But if I use the same power supply for both the motors and nodemcu, it resets automatically sometimes when the load is high & I lost my wifi connection with the mobile.

I am using L298 motor driver to drive 4 plastic geared motors and two 18650 battery (8v Approx).

Reset happens when I use inbuild 5v supply from L298 to power up the nodemcu. Also, I tried a separate 7805 regulator for nodemcu, but same problem.

I believe this problem happening due to high load on motors. But I don't want to use a separate power supply for nodemcu since my space is very small.

I have made a WiFi controlled car using NodeMCU. It works fine if I connect the NodeMCU to a separate 5 V supply.

If I use the same power supply for both the motors and the NodeMCU, it resets automatically sometimes when the load is high and I lost my WiFi connection with the mobile.

I am using an L298 motor driver to drive 4 plastic-geared motors and two 18650 batteries (8 V approx).

Reset happens when I use the built-in 5 V supply from the L298 to power up the NodeMCU. I also tried a separate 7805 regulator for the NodeMCU, but same problem.

I believe this problem happens due to high load on the motors. I don't want to use a separate power supply for the NodeMCU since the space is very small.
