Survey: USB controller power usage

suprjami

@PetroRie Out of interest my USB power meter arrived today. A couple of simple controllers (iBuffalo SNES and Logitech Rumble Pad 2) draw so little current they don't even register on the meter, which displays Amps to two decimal places. So I'd say a USB controller draws "less than 10mA". I plugged a PS3 controller in and it started drawing a steady 350mA straight away.

I can also plug my phone into a wall charger and see it drawing a full 1A at 5V, and plug the meter in before the Pi and see the Pi drawing various current as it boots then sits idle then plays games.

I'm not sure if this is relevant to the information you're collecting:

Thanks guys! How interesting, my DualShock 4 has a product description but the string on your controller is blank. Maybe we have different revisions of the controller?

Does the SNES one look like this? http://i.imgur.com/bAQGiRC.jpg

Does the Mega Drive one look like this? http://i.imgur.com/b1ED5ZA.jpg

@suprjami Yes to both!

When I run this command, I see this a lot

Couldn't open device, some information will be missing

However, here are the controllers that I have that seem to be missing from the list:

These are great, thanks heaps all!

@MikeDave How does the X-Arcade work, does it appear as a joystick, or as a USB keyboard like an I-PAC does?

MikeDave

@suprjami it acts like a keyboard initially, but you can enable xarcade2jstick in RetroPie Setup to make it act like 2 joysticks. I have it set up as 2 joysticks.
