Pied Piper power budget.

Component	Current (mA)	Voltage (V)	Power consumption (mW)	Duty cycle (%)	Average power consumption (mW)
Microcontroller + power board	42	5	210	100 %	210
Output amplifier + Vibration exciter	54	5	270	1.3 %*	4
Camera module	81	5	405	5.7 %*	23
Total average power consumption					246 mW

Battery energy capacity: 24 Wh.

Estimated battery life (without solar power): 4.1 days.

*The duty cycle of these components is dependent on how many detections the trap records, which can be highly variable. The percentages shown here are estimates based on the default configuration of the device and the assumption that an average of 20 detections per day will occur. During field tests, the average number of detections recorded per day was much less than 20, meaning that the battery life shown is a low estimate.
