Do you guys know what will be the power consumption like ? The display
is the one that worries me.
Meant for headless PCs powered from the mains and so power should not
be a worry. Nevertheless, i think under 30milliamps budgeting
25milliamps for the display.
I read the datasheet wrong. 16x2 LCD display says max 2.35mA. uC takes
about 250microamps per Khz thus 2mA for 8Khz. Maybe 10mA would be the
max.
I do have a few headless PCs which I run 24x7 for testing & other
purposes. It will be great to have this LCD display. Looks like 10mA on
5v rail should be ~0.05W which seems like negligible.
