In remote Controlled Wi-Fi Car Robot project by using esp32, a usb power bank is used, can we use L298N 5V output directly? I tried, but esp32 wifi will not work, why?

You need to use an external power supply to power the motores, otherwise you won’t have enough current to make the robot work properly. Not having enough power causes those issues (like Wi-Fi connection problems or slow motors)…
