Also anyone who is creating battery-powered projects would be interested in power consumption figures.

I for one learned way too late that an ESP32 (whichever model really), despite being massively more complicated, will typically have a much smaller quiescent current in deep sleep than a 555 timer - even the CMOS implementation.



About 65 boards in I realised there was a slight error with how the idle power consumption was being recorded, so I had to scrap all of that data :( The last 15 or so do have this, but I made the decision to backfill that data as and when I need to check something on those boards, or just on the next round (I plan to update every X months or so, assuming there are worthwhile updates)


Happy to hear you'll be including this data.

I've already found my board, but this is not my last battery-powered project.


It's really incredible how far chips have come. With the right configuration, an SAMD21 mcu can go down to double digit nano amps !
