RE: The biggest hurdle to technological advancement
Great post. I didn't know Arduino had such high power consumption. Very interesting points. It's crazy how reserves deplete in energy storage banks within just 6 mos. That's insane.
Arduino isn't very high consumption, in fact, it is tiny and can be run off a watch battery for a long time. The problem is you almost always have something else attached that takes far more power, like LED's, motors, or displays.
Ok that makes more sense. I worked with Arduino a couple years ago in NanoRobotics at University and didn't recall have a power consumption issues. The attachments were a different story. Thanks for clearing that up @themarkymark & @isnochys
Depending on the model and what you want do with it.
It can run on a battery for a year.
Little Blue Bean I think can run over a year on a coin battery.
It's all the other stuff you add that sucks up the power.
Amazing!
