Yeah - this is why you can't power a gumstix w/ wifi from a robostix, which only has a 500mA regulator providing power to the gumstix. I wouldn't be surprised if the instantaneous current draws from the wifi module are in the 1+A range. 500mA for just the wifi module -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |
