DIS12824D : CrowPanel ESP32-C3 1.28 Round - Current / Power Usage
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has measured the current / power usage of the CrowPanel 1.28 Round with the ESP32-C3? Both active, and when the ESP, display driver, and touch controller are all in sleep mode and the backlight is off. I have a similar panel (and have ordered this particular CrowPanel) and would like to compare... I'm looking to calculate the effective run-time for different battery sizes.
The panel I have now runs at about 64mA when active and about 4.3mA when everything is in sleep mode. Is it about the same for this panel?
Comments
As a side note, the panel I have now is a ESP32-2424S012C-I from Shenzen Jingcali Intellegent Co. The schematics look similar to the CrowPanel with the exception of the SDIO Flash, I2C RTC, the IO Extender, rotary encoder, buzzer, and haptic feedback motor. The charge controller, DC-DC converter, display driver, and touch controller look to be the same. (I.E. a stripped down version) I don't have part numbers, though for their charge controller or 5v - 3.3v Dc-Dc converter to compare.
Measuring power consumption is crucial for optimizing battery life, especially for ESP32-based projects. If you're calculating runtime for different battery sizes, you might find this useful: https://aliciacalculadora.net/. It helps with precise power consumption calculations, making it easier to estimate battery longevity for setups like yours.
