How is the battery life on the Pimoroni? I've used RPi Picos before, and I love working with them, but IIRC they are comparatively power-hungry, even in deep sleep.
- niko1 3y agoPower consumption of the Inky Frames in deep sleep is minimal as power to the Pico is cut completely. An RTC is kept powered to wake up the Pico on a schedule, or pressing any button will wake up the board too.
- kfarr 3y agoHaven’t tested this particular one but using the badger eink display has been a blast. Super low power — you can run that one off of a lithium coin cell battery. You can control when it wakes. I presume this one will draw more with a larger color screen and wireless, but again you can control when and how it wakes to balance power draw vs. more frequent updates.
