Re: Trinket M0 current
Sorry for asking such an incredibly difficult question to answer by using a multimeter on "current" setting. A range would be nice, just the M0 with no external loads running at default settings.

Re: Trinket M0 current
Current drain of the chip itself is about 5ma, depending on what it's doing. See http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/D ... 01882A.pdf, page 791 for some examples.
I have a small USB current meter gadget, which does not read lower than 10ma, and it read zero, so 5ma tests out empirically. I don't happen to have a USB breakout to make it easy to measure the current.
