[![enter image description here][1]][1] soSo it turns out that esp32 boards can actually output 5v alongside with 3.3v output pin  , youYou just have to use the VN pin which is used for powering the board when not connected through usbUSB, this is is not what the pin is intended for and also might cause some problems and you cannot upload code to the board when VIN pin is connected but but so far it works perfectly and outputs consistent 5V that triggers the relays just fine. obviously i

Obviously, I was just looking for a solution no matter what risks it imposesimposed, can anyone with a deeper understanding onof this topic explain why the power input pin can also work as output and why is this not a feature that comes with esp32 boards
