I have been doing tests this week, with everything I could find, this is what I’ve found:
- running stock system, with no user programs, just a graphical session and the display off consumes aproximately 3.9W.
- with the uploaded script more or less consumes the same.
- with an updated script (which turns wifi radio off and sets screen brightness to zero) we can save like 200-400mW. I just uploaded it the updated version.
I am not able to save more than that. Best case scenario, the script saves a few hundreds of mW compared to an idle state, besides not allowing the computer to consume more than that, because no background programs or network activity is allowed while suspended.
Right now I don’t know anything else I can try.
EDIT: I put this and some other random script on GitHub - amospalla/reform: Personal MNT Pocket Reform scripts
