Hi, I am friendlyantz. I run ANT*-series nodes, like ANTZ, ANTG, ANTS, ANTA and ANTB in Melbourne

power usage

name	watage
picoWs (serie 1 and 2)	pico2-series should be more energy efficient, but perhaps this is negligible I think as most power goes to TX via LoRa module??? wattage ranges: can be 0.2W at rest. but sometimes sits around 0.6-09W. 1.5W in active zones when sending, relaying messages(normal quiet channel) with wifi consuming probably 20% more.
Lilygo TDeck (esp32s)	ESP32 Should be more power hungry than pico, but in practice i observed same values., or even lower at 0.3-0.6W. 0.3W sleep, 0.45W screen on, whenTX wattage consumes extra to 0.5W - 0.8W for a fraction of a sec. 142mAh consumed over 2hrs - screen off
