GC rumble question #18

Closed clbr closed 3 years ago

clbr commented 5 years ago

Your GC page mentions the rumble motor drew 30 mA. This is quite low, and I can't find any other sources online with measurements. Other consoles' controllers seem to draw more.

So just asking to be sure, is it 30 mA and not 300 mA for example?

I have no idea. I think i measured it with my multimeter, but that could be inaccurate. You might want to find it out yourself.

I got to measuring three GC controllers' 5V lines when rumbling. Results: Original Nintendo: 36 mA Smash Ultimate (released 2018 Dec): 32 mA 3rd party, GameStop brand: 40 mA

So they indeed draw so little.
