**Assignment (**Measure the power required to run a microcontroller)

The current needed to power our Positive Energy project is between 20-40 milliamps and the voltage is around 5 volts. The power is between 1 and 2 watts.

Jasmine measured:

• Arduino: 0.105 W (5.03 V and 0.021 A)
• Arduino + Time of flight sensor: 0.165 W (5.03 V and 0.033 A)
• Arduino + Neopixel Ring: 0.181 W (Brightness 50/255), 0.226 W (100/255), 0.276 W (150/255), 0.321 W (200/255), 0.381 W (255/255)

Photovoltaic Solar or PV

Alien mega structure. Humanity should look for Dyson spheres if they want to find aliens. The sun itself is used as energy

Solar Modules are getting cheaper and cheaper every year.
