- Made a "worst case scenario" power budget, this was made on July 29th,

Absolute max current draw by microcontroller is 100mA, but typical supply current is under 10mA, and adding peripherals only adds a 10s of uA
This is important because the efficiency of the buck converter under different current loads is dependent on the Inductor value, large loads -> small inductor, small loads -> large inductor
Therefore, want to figure out "typical" current draw before deciding on inductor values for regulators
