| Feb 23, 2018 at 22:00 | comment | added | Gerben | Where do the other 36mA’s go? Try doing some more measurements. My guess is that it’s mostly due to the regulator(s), on the pro mini. If so using a separate voltage regulator would help. Also ditch the 9V. Those are just 6 AAAA batteries in a packed together, and can only supply 400mAh. Lastly, the might be an issue with not having enough bypass capacitors. Breadboard have some capacitance due to how the are constructed. Switch to protoboard, glitches may occur due to no longer having bypass capacitors. Not sure if that’s the case here, but that immediately came to mind reading only the title | |
