Bluno Beetle BLE Power Consumption

Help & Support Robot Parts

Can anyone tell me what the power consumption is for the new “low power” Bluno Beetle? It is not listed in the specifications for the product. One online comment indicated that power consumption was in the range of 34mV. I hope this is wrong, as 34mV is substantial for a device designed to be used in wearables.

thanks,

Hi,

DFRobot indicates that the Bluno Beetle consumes around 10mA in its actual condition. In low power mode, it should consume no more than 2uA.
However, they also said that the hardware of the beetle supports low power, but the software aspect doesn’t support it yet.

Hi,

Been a while. Quick question - How exactly do you set the Bluno Beetle into low power mode? Thanks!

Seeing from this forum post, the latest firmware of the Bluno Beetle still doesn’t support low power mode.
