Power consumption of candidate hardware solutions
Components, i.e., incomplete solutions
| 0.24W - 0.45W | FTDI cable + RFD900 (TX @ 100mW) with link but no traffic | 0.048A - 0.09A @ 4.995V |
| 0.33W - 0.50W | CP210x cable + RFD900 (TX @ 100mW) with link but no traffic | 0.066A - 0.1A @ 4.995V |
| 0.50W - 0.55W | TP-LINK WR703N (idle, no USB hub, memory stick, USB serial adaptor or RFD900 radio) | 0.099A - 0.110A @ 4.995V |
| 0.19W - 0.60W | FTDI cable + RFD900 (TX @ 250mW) with link but no traffic | 0.037A - 0.12A @ 4.995V (but peaks are likely reduced due to sampling issues in our test environment). |
| 0.70W - 0.73W | Mesh Potato 2 (idle, serval mesh not installed, no RFD900 attached, WiFi running AP+ad-hoc, no USB) | Data from Steve Song based on current draw from power supply. |
| 0.84W - 0.88W | MK808B (idle, Wi-Fi client mode, HDMI display disconnected, Serval Mesh not installed, FTDI serial adapter plugged in, no RFD900 attached): averaging 0.168A - 0.175A @ 4.995V | |
| 0.45W - 0.90W | Mesh Potato 2 (idle, serval mesh not installed, no RFD900 attached, WiFi running AP+ad-hoc, no USB) | Our data, but where the average sits is hard to know. Steve's data is better in that regard: 50mA - 100mA @ 9V, 41mA - 71mA @ 15V |
| 0.96W - 1.05W | TP-LINK WR703N (idle, Wi-Fi in simulatenous ad-hoc & AP mode, USB hub, memory stick, running servald, no USB serial adaptor or RFD900 radio) | 0.191A - 0.21A @ 4.995V |
| 1.05W - 1.25W | MK808B (idle, Wi-Fi client mode, HDMI display disconnected, Serval Mesh not installed, FTDI serial adapter plugged in, RFD900 attached (TX @ 100mW), link but no traffic) | averaging 0.210A - 0.25A (but jumping around wildly in that range) @ 4.995V |
| 1.00W - 1.50W | MK802ii (idle, HDMI display disconnected, Serval Mesh not installed) | 0.20A - 0.30A @ 4.995V |
| 1.05W - 1.50W | MK802ii (idle, HDMI display connected, Serval Mesh not installed) | 0.21A - 0.30A @ 4.995V |
