remote AIS receiver/repeater - part 7 - current measurements

 Overall power consumption measurements

[prev]     [first]     [next]
Overall system current @ battery voltage (3.7-4.2V). Active=transmitting LoRa, Standby=listening.

dAISy current measured at 3.3V (via output of onboard 3.3v Regulator on Teensy) Active = receiving/parsing. AIS sentence. Standby = listening

Teensy current  @ battery voltage with no peripherals powered up, taken from internet (not yet measured)

HopeRF not measured




active standby sleep
Overall 110mA 95mA 0.2mA
dAISy 77mA 74mA  0
Teensy ~20mA ~20mA 0.2mA
Hoperf

~0mA


Our challenge is to tame the dAISy which is someway off the published spec (<20mA @ 5V i.e.  100mW; we are seeing 74mA @ 3.3v i.e. 250mW)
