# Chapter 13: Reducing Power Consumption
This is a companion repository for _Making Embedded Systems, 2nd Ed._ by Elecia White. 

I need sleep.

# Following Along in the Book

An excellent blog post from Memfault's Interrupt blog about [Understanding Battery Performance of IoT Devices](https://interrupt.memfault.com/blog/monitoring-battery-life).

# Code For This Chapter
I put together a ring to amuse myself at parties ([Wordy](https://hackaday.io/project/3577/gallery#841da3b07f218c3ac1d5de1d7a2e2b7e)). It is a small project so the power worksheets are relatively straightforward, showing the calculation process from the engineering perspective (building it up from components and readings to determine features) and from the design perspective (identifying use goals and determining feature based on those and component information). This information is gathered in ["Power_consumption_Wordy_ring.xlsx"]("Power_consumption_Wordy_ring.xlsx").
