Once connected, choose a power source to connect to the SparkFun Thing Plus NORA-W306. This can be through the PTHs on the edge of the board (VU, VB, or 3V3) or the connectors (USB C, 2-pin JST, or Qwiic). Note that the board will draw more power through the USB C connector and VU PTH as this will power the CP2102. Power will also be drawn with the LiPo charger and 3.3V voltage regulator.

Let's compare the Thing Plus ESP32 (USB-C) against the Thing Plus NORA-W306. The power LED jumper was cut on the Thing Plus ESP32. A microSD card was inserted in the microSD card socket (which does not have a way to turn off power through a GPIO) and the board was powered via a single cell LiPo battery. The current draw was 884&micro;A in deep sleep mode while it was 40mA when awake.

For the Thing Plus NORA-W306, we cut the power LED and WS28112 LED jumpers. The SDPC (microSD Power Control) jumper was modified so power to the microSD card can be controlled through GPIO 17. A microSD card was inserted in the microSD card socket. With the MEAS jumper cut, a multimeter (set to measure current) was connected to monitor the current draw. Power was also provided via a single cell LiPo battery. The current draw was 115&microA in deep sleep mode while it was 21mA when awake.
