[Tinyos-devel] more bugging about current consumption on MicaZ in tinyos-2.x

[Joe Polastre]

> MicaZ deep sleep draw: 3-5uA
> Telos deep sleep draw: 7uA

See my previous message.  You should lift the Vcc pin on the
microcontroller to accurately measure the MCU current draw, which will
be about 0.7uA in deep sleep.  The rest is due to having to isolate
the USB circuitry (which isn't present on a MicaZ)

Now, of course, you wouldn't deploy the Telos, as is with USB, in a
large scale situation.  Too big and not cost effective.
