That would be cool if you could. I am running an experiment at the moment to see how low I can go running my nano so want to keep wattage as low as possible.

Many thanks

Go buy yourself a Kill-a-watt tester. One of the best $20 bucks you will ever spend.

You can test amps, watts, kilowatts per hour. Its really useful for all kind of testing.

Search amazon for Killawatt.....just saw it for like $16

It's very little. What will consume energy is the equipment you connect to it.
Would you mind sharing what you have in mind?
