Thanks for this; I have had an older version without the detailed
information about power drain and so; It is a bit tricky to use such a
Python tool to measure things because it has to much effect in the power
consumption by its own; maybe I will just collect in the future the data
from the /sys/... files and draw the figured later based on them;
for now I've tested it with your "battery.py", here are the numbers:
181 mA -- nearly empty FR (only "battery.py" and Terminal running)
231 mA -- after launch of GPSD
183 mA -- after stop of GPSD
189-232 mA -- after Wifi-up with, running 'ping' through eth0
184-186 mA -- after Wifi-down
For me this reads that the Wifi chip is already powered-up on boot; the
diff between before (181) and after using it (184-186) is not very big;
right?
