- With WiFi off, idle power consumption is ~300mA
- 100% CPU use increases power consumption by ~50mA
- WiFi draws up to ~100mA (always 100mA in AP mode, varies with distance and usage in client mode)
- Further reductions in power use may be possible, but will require more work (possibly a custom kernel or u-boot modifications to disable the hdmi controller, etc)
Duovero tests with no Wifi
idles around 230mA - not sure why this is so much lower than the overo, perhaps the wifi module?
jumps to around 500mA at full CPU usage, 380mA to fully utilize one core
