As the title says, the goal of the project is to design and build a device to measure power consumption of a Raspberry PI with high precision and resolution. The higher goal is for this device to be use to power profile applications running on the Raspberry PI. The characteristics of this application require that the measuring precision is at the level of 1uA and high enough frequency to measure "execution spells" in the order of 50-100 us. The measured data should be computer loggable in its entirety for each such single execution spell. The other details of the project are to be consulted with the supervisors before taking on the project.
