Nice analysis.

Do you have the color scale so we can see what the temperatures were?

That's a very nice thermal camera setup you have there. Interesting to see that the power management IC on the MiniZed is getting a little warm too. Other than that, it's all happening in the SoC but I suppose that's not too surprising.

Nice analysis. I was curious about the temperature and was thinking of doing a similar thing - I don't have to now [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-abe86359-4f24-41f1-b636-3a97cb92c612/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

My board does get quite warm which is what made me wonder about it. It would be interesting to see how this plays into the power consumption and if there are more efficient ways to run it. In the training, we are only adding certain components at a time - like USB and UART support. I wonder if the chip gets warmer as more and more peripherals are turned on.
