  • Cheers. I see what they have done there.

    MC manufacturers usually don't publish a power figure because most boards are built to operate at 3v3 and 5v . The new Pi MC only accepts 3v3. Must mean it has a step down from USB somewhere.

    EDIT: Now I'm confused as deep in the tech specs it says it can handle up to 5.5v where it only labels 3v3 on the pinout :D

    They've put a buckboost supply on there, which is really cool - you can supply anything from 1.8V to 5.5V and the supply will knock it up/down to 3.3V regardless
