Re: uBITX V6 Specifications.
I won't say for sure, but possibly some devices may draw excessive current if the voltage is too low.? I happen to know that some motor-driven equipment will be damaged by under-voltage.? The motor

Re: uBITX V6 Specifications.
Most of the power is consumed by the digital display. There is a brutal way to add an on/off switch between the LED pin of the tft board and the Raduino board. That should shave off the power
