This week we want to share some data we gathered while running some tests on the new EV3 system. Using a DC Bench-top power supply, measuring down to the milliamp, we roughly measured the EV3 current consumption in different situations.  The tabulated data provides an interesting place to start when estimating the battery lifetime of the EV3 battery.

There's a great project for LEGO MINDSTORMS just started on Kickstarter by MinuteBot. BrainPower is a way to plug your NXT into the wall! MinuteBot BrainPower is a power supply for LEGO Mindstorms-enabled robotics. Say goodbye to batteries. Just plug and play.
