My current consumption is 10mA. This is an ultra- low-power chip.

Wrote a bunch of code, putting the chip to sleep, whatever other crap, to force into low power. Nada. WTF? Did some more digging until I decided to color outside the box and go hard-core physics.

Got my million-dollar thermal imaging camera our.

And... voila!

So, where do you think the problem is?

Moral of the story. Buy cheap online crap, get cheap online crap.
