Arduino Yun power consumption
I just bought a Yun to use on a mobile robot. I plan to power it using a 5v UBEC supplied by a battery pack, so I need to know how much current it will draw -- in particular, whether a 9v battery will be sufficient.

Re: Arduino Yun power consumption
Just sitting by itself, doing nothing, a Yun will draw around 200mA.

Re: Arduino Yun power consumption
Thanks. So I'm going to guess it might go to 400ma at peak activity, plus whatever load is on the outputs.

Re: Arduino Yun power consumption
The load really shouldn't change at peak activity. I think you can use 200mA plus output loads for your estimate.
