STM32CubeMX2 - Power Consumption Calcaulator

Hello,

STM32CubeMX2 looks good and I started my first STM32C5 Project.

But what I miss: The Power Consumption Calculator. It was a helpful and often used tool in STM32CubeMX and I could find it in the new Generation 2.

Is it planned to be integrated in future releases?

Thanks!
Markus

Hello @MarkusBaum,

Thank you for your feedback and for starting with STM32C5 on STM32CubeMX2!

The Power Consumption Calculator isn’t available in STM32CubeMX2 yet. We know it was used for different purposes in STM32CubeMX, and we’re still gathering input to define what a future version should do. For now, please refer to the specific datasheet for the C5 you are using for manual power calculations. (Look under the Supply current characteristics section)

Could you share what you used the Power Consumption Calculator for in your workflow? Your input will help us shape future improvements.

Is that data available in machine-readable format anywhere?

Manually transposing from a PDF datasheet is error-prone, and a right royal pain in the gluteus maximus !

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
