I have the ESP8266-01. I read that I can't just use my SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout - 3.3V like I do with my 8266 "Thing". The docs say that it can draw 700-800mA when programming it. Is that true? Where can I find some docs that show options to power it? Do I need to build something or is there a product that can help? Would the "SparkFun Breadboard Power Supply Stick - 5V/3.3V" and a breadboard be what I need?
