CrowPanel 1.28" with ESP32-C3

I'm trying to use a QI standard wireless charging system with a CrowPanel 1.28" running an ESP32-C3. I've got a small LiPo battery connected to it. I'm planning on using this as a pocket watch (for my son), and want to be able to recharge the battery wirelessly.
I have the output of the QI receiver module (5v 0.6a output) connected to a USB-C plug connected to the USB socket of the CrowPanel board. It will run the CrowPanel very nicely without the battery connected, but once I hook up the battery it causes the transmitter (I have a generic one from Amazon) to just flash slowly.
I'm going to test it when the battery is low enough to not run the board, and see what I can do there, but I'm really hoping someone out there has a suggestion to get this working properly!

  • HI bbroerman,
    This could be due to unstable battery voltage.

    Warm regards,

  • the battery was about half discharged. Would it be better with the battery more discharged or less discharged? I can run the entire panel when no battery is connected, but it doesn't seem to want to provide a charge through the charging circuit built into the crowpanel.

  • I tried 2 different LiPo batteries. both behave the same way
