I've got the Bluetooth HC-05 module soldered on, and the CC3000 connected. When I try and power the espruino board with a 9v battery, things appear to be fine initially but after about 5 seconds all the lights go off. The espruino shows a very dim light.
I can power this off USB via mains. And push code over BT to the board. The battery I'm trying to connect is 9V and fairly new. Without the CC3000 connected I can connect and send code over BT with using the battery alone.
Do I need more power than the battery can offer for BT and CC3000?
