Power Consumption (Draft)

Oi this just be a draft first

Did you know that electric products need power to be used?

Really? That's insane.

I know.

Calculated the power consumption of our entire circuit. But just what makes up our circuit?

The Things That Make Up Our Circuit

The things that make up our circuit are:

• Two Arduino Unos
• An RPi
• Two servos: one for the rudder and another for the winch
• Three sensors: GPS, wind direction and wind speed I think.

So the currents that each use are:

Component	Current Usage/mA
Uno(each)	50
RPi	300 max. (all four cores at 100%)
Winch servo	230 (running), 50 (idle)
Rudder servo	140±50 (max), 15 (idle)
GPS	21
Wind direction sensor	Wow I don't actually know this please hold
Wind speed sensor	Same goes wow what in the world

Wiring circuit

So, we've got two separate circuits, each powered up with a power bank. This one here to be exact I think. The schematics for each circuit are shown right below. This can also be found in this page on its own:

So How Long Can The Power Banks Stay Alive???
