Clip+ theme with battery percentage and power consumption readout
« on: December 19, 2016, 11:37:18 AM »
Hello,
is there a suitable theme for Clip+ which would show both battery percentage and current power consumption (in mW)?
Power readout would be much better value for estimating remaining battery life than runtime display.

Battery Benchmark logs also don't show neither current draw (mA) nor actual power draw (mW), making it a bit more difficult to optimize the DAP for minimum consumption.

Thanks in advance

There is no way to measure power consumption or current on the clip players, which is why you can't display it.

That's most unfortunate, thanks for the info though!

I can try with rough estimation using USB input. Disassembly and manually desoldering the battery might work better, but that's a little extreme for a new refurb unit.  :)
