Yeah, I don't trust the measurements in this test too much. The meter I have
now doesn't have a working current function; this prompted me figure out the
method I'm using presently.

I don't. The only input is GP3, it is grounded (I saw your other post about
this pin.) I'm just hand-waving tho, see:

Still, I'm wondering why a 16kHz clocked chip and one clocked at 4MHz,
running firmware that does the same thing, have current usages that are so
similar. The current use in test 1 still seems awfully high.

Take care,

Matthew
