Customer:
I’m interested in how much current the NOVA and Pico consume in normal operating mode.

Postovani, zanima me koliko mA NOVA i Pico koriste u normalom operacijskom modu.
Hvala

Soldered Support:
We have an article on Croduino Basica power consumption, which is actually almost the same as Pico: Soldered: Open-Source Electronics, Boards, Sensors & Modules – Soldered Electronics
For NOVA (the ESP8266 chip), here is a table with its power consumption: ESP8266 Power Consumption - ESP8266 Developer Zone
Of course, this applies if you connect 3.3V directly as the power source to the pin of the same name.
If you power it from USB/external source, it goes through a linear voltage regulator and consumption is automatically higher. It’s an AMS1117-3.3 voltage regulator, so you can check the specific numbers regarding efficiency.
If your goal is energy savings, definitely check the tips at the end of the article from the link above. For example, disable the LEDs and avoid using the voltage regulator.
Original message (Croatian)
imamo članak o potrošnji Croduino Basica, što je zapravo gotovo jednako Picu: Soldered: Open-Source Electronics, Boards, Sensors & Modules – Soldered Electronics
Što se tiče NOVE, tj. ESP8266 chipa, ovo je tablica s njegovom potrošnjom: ESP8266 Power Consumption - ESP8266 Developer Zone
Naravno, ovo vrijedi ako direktno spojite 3.3V kao izvor napona na istoimeni pin.
Ako napajate s USB-a/vanjskog izvora, to prolazi kroz linerani regulator napona i potrošnja je automatski veća. Radi se o AMS1117-3.3 regulatoru napona tako da možete provjeriti konkretne brojke što se tiče efikasnosti.
Ako Vam je cilj ušteda energije, svakako pogledajte natuknice na kraju članka s linka gore. Npr., isključite LEDice i izbjegnite korištenje regulatora napona.
