 There were also peeks of power randomly occurring during data transmission, which varies from 100mA to even 300 mA. Either there was an error at the measurements, or the ESP needed to send a stronger signal. The maximum length of these peaks was around 0.05 seconds.  There were also peeks of power randomly occurring during data transmission, which varies from 100mA to even 300 mA.
