Megasquirt quiescent current draw?

Post by Myrrhstang »

What should the current draw on a Megasquirt that's "doing nothing" be? 10 mA? 100? 200?

I can't seem to find this in the Mega docs anywhere.

Under 100mA, I'm thinking in the 10-50mA range; but it's been quite a while since I measured it.

Something like 200 mA total when connected to a Stim and getting sync from the Stim - ie running.
