I've been following Dr. ZZZ for sometime and he has yet to explain this. thanks for going over it. I am looking to create some custom car light effects and wasn't sure how the buttons would work. I do have 1 question: How does the ESP32 handle power on/off? Will I just be frying boards if I had the setup wired to the ignition and not directly to the battery? Great tutorial and explanation.

[@mybritishcomputerguy]

Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you. As far as your ignition setup is concerned. To be able to hook up a board to your ignition system. You would need a buck convertor to drop the voltage down from whatever your ignition system runs at (typically 12vdc) to 5vdc. That way when you power up the board it doesn't fry.
