The PicoW is not the lowest consumption device out there. Some basic measurements using MicroPython:
Powered with WiFi disabled -> 17-18mAPowered with WiFi enabled -> 35-36mAOnce you start serving content the consumption rises to 52-53mA with peaks around 65mA while acquiring connection.
You can get better results, I've read, using C; but the power is still nothing I would call "low power". You could also look at "disabling" the PICO and waking it up periodically.
Powered with WiFi disabled -> 17-18mA
Code:
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)wlan.deinit()Code:
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)wlan.active(True)You can get better results, I've read, using C; but the power is still nothing I would call "low power". You could also look at "disabling" the PICO and waking it up periodically.
