- 1. When the system is in power down mode, the MCU + FPM + Servo draw 10.4mA at
- 3.3V.
+ 1. When the system is in power down mode, the MCU + FPM + Servo draw 8.9mA at
+ 3.3V. The real amount is likely about 8.9 + 4.6 = 13.5mA.
REMARKS
1. Can't use 3.3V FPM modules with Arduino Uno. The RX and TX lines have
resistors.
+ 2. When measuring current with the buck chips on, the servo doesn't respond.
+ So, the value measured probably doesn't include the current the servo
+ draws.
