element14 presents | Measuring the Raspberry Pi Pico W's Power Consumption - Workbench Wednesdays @element14presents | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
The Raspberry Pi Pico W microcontroller board is the latest addition to the Pi Pico family. This new MCU adds a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module to the existing board’s RP2040 microcontroller. With those additions, James got curious about the power consumption of the board.

In this video, he walks through how to make the Pi Pico W’s LED blink, how much power it consumes, and then you'll see an IoT example using MQTT. Ask him questions and find resources on the element14 Community at this link! bit.ly/3QkT9OV
