Typical power requirements for wings and sensors
I am going to have a 5 or 6 wings and three or more sensors for my current project using a ESP32-S3. I know it can provide a max of 500 mA. Is there an easy place to find the typical power requirements for each of the wings and sensors Adafruit provides? What is the recommend method for providing greater than 500 mA of 3.3 volts in a portable system.

Re: Typical power requirements for wings and sensors
No simple answer there. Current requirements vary widely depending on the specific Wings and sensors you are using. And in some cases, how they are used. Many sensors and Wings consume only a few mA each. But others can be quite power hungry. LED displays, IR rangefinders, WiFi and Audio amplifiers are just a few examples.
We do have a number of 3.3v regulators, some of which are rated for up to 2A:
