 ## Powering the ESP32
-You can power your ESP32 by 2 methods: USB connection or external battery pack.

 <!-- Using the external battery pack is detailed in the [Actuators page](https://ut-ras.github.io/RobotathonESP32/sensors-and-actuators/actuators) because we will be using the motor driver's 5V output to power the ESP32. -->
 
+### External Power Source
+
+First we will go over using an external power source for the ESP32. For this competition, you will be able to control your robot with a wireless game controller to navigate around the field (sensor challenges should be completed autonomously). It would be impractical to power your ESP32 through USB-laptop connection on the field, so you will need a battery pack. We need to reduce the voltage of the battery pack (9V) down to a level the ESP32 can safely use (5V) through the buck converter.
+
+Below are the steps to interface the buck converter to your microcontroller:
+
+1.) Connect the red wire from the battery pack to the IN+ on the buck converter and the black wire from the battery pack to the IN- on the buck converter (convention dictates that red = hot wire and black = ground)

+
+2.) Grab a multimeter, put it into voltage reading mode, and attach the leads to OUT+ and OUT-. Adjust the small yellow screw on the buck converter until the multimeter reads a voltage of 5V.

+
+3.) Remove the multimeter leads and attach a red wire from the buck converter's OUT+ terminal to the ESP32's 5V pin. Attach a black wire from the buck converter's OUT- terminal to the ESP32's GND pin.

-If you want to power your ESP32 and motors while using a USB connection, simply **securely** place one of the battery leads to an unused row in your breadboard (like picture below).
