SURVEY ABOUT POWER CONSUMPTION FOR ARDUINO

Abstract

The choice of a hardware platform for the implementation of a project is very important also from the perspective of the electricity consumption that it implies. For example, systems that will operate on the basis of energy stored in batteries, or those powered by renewable sources, whose availability is difficult to predict and also monitoring and control systems that are located in hard to reach areas or that are rarely physically checked require increased attention in the selection of the platform to be used. This study aims to provide a comparison, in terms of energy consumption, of the most used Arduino systems, as well as some possible solutions to further reduce their consumption.
