Yeah I’ll check those out if I have a sec tonight.5v is great too. I just have a hunch that the voltage regulators on that board are not very efficient. So if we could bypass another component, the watt usage of the screen and board will go down.
If you have the screen with you, could you measure the current going to the 5v input? That way, we could estimate the power usage.
Makes sense, I’ll give it a shot later tonight if I get a sec and report back.@link270
That through-hole pin labled VD3 is most likely a direct connection to the internal 3.3v line.
