Initial observations of this 10 vs the 01
It has 4 capacitors, 3 resistors, 1 big IC, 1 5 pin IC, 3 testpads, and about a dozen extra vias.
Chip is receiving 3.3v when wii connect 24 led is on. Chip is not receiving power when LED is red. But it seems the chip is powered by the regular 3.3v line.
Also worth noting is the wifi chip has exposed test pads not under the label, and it seems to have more of them. I checked my stash of Bluetooth modules and this is not a special circumstance. About half of my cards are like this.
So when this board is on and powered by a 12v power supply, and has no disc drive connected, it draws about 1.02 amps. No biggie.
When in wii connect 24, the console draws .65 amps. A lot for an inactive state, but not too much. BUT THE FAN IS OFF! The console is generatingm more heat than a die shrunk board, without any cooling system. This is a huge design flaw on nintendo's part. This must be a launch board, and is probably the cause of the initial problems people had with the wii getting too hot when turned off with WC24 on.
This appears to have nothing to do with our new 48 pinned friend though.
