Trial of Exercise 12 (fw_build=20260220_022218_z) on February 19, 2026
Power usages:
Each unit sends Lora message every 10 seconds and receives other 3 three units messages. Send and Receives are logged on the SD card. GPS is taken (I think) before each transmission. OLED displays incoming messages from other units.
Start and End times are from logs reading values from the T-Beams's AXP2101 power-management IC (PMU). Fluke 87 V readings are from in-place battery ends with units powered down and not connected to USB taken at 2:35 PM after I powered down the units at 11:02 AM.
| Unit | Start | End | Fluke |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ed | 4.172 | 3.708 | 3.763 |
| Dan | 4.158 | 3.738 | 3.752 |
| Cy | 4.145 | 3.665 | 3.665 |
| Bob | 4.172 | 3.708 | 3.716 |
| Amy - not used |
