How can I power an ESP8266 using a 9V 1A barrel connector power supply?
If you read the docs on that Feather board, the barrel connector is meant for a LiPo battery. It''s a 3V unit, not meant for an external power supply, and 9V is too much for it. You would need to run your 9V supply through a buck converter (or a linear regulator) and drop it down to 5V, which you could feed into the USB connector.
