CPU on, lora radio RX mode, bluetooth enabled, GPS trying to lock. total draw 43mA

CPU on, lora radio RX mode, bluetooth enabled, GPS super low power sleep mode. Total draw 20mA
|

CPU on, lora radio TX mode, bluetooth enabled, GPS super low power sleep mode. Total draw 132mA
|

|

Note: power consumption while connected via BLE to a phone almost identical.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: eink display for all tests was in sleep mode most of the time. Current draw during the brief periods while the eink was being drawn was not
|
||||
measured (but it was low).
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Turning off EINK PWR_ON produces no noticeable power savings over just putting the eink display into sleep mode.
