Eletrical Characteristics
| Characteristic | Range | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Active Power | 10 | mW |
| Idle Power * | 4 | mW |
| Sleep Power ** | 200 | uW |
| Deep Sleep Power *** | ? | |
| Turn On Voltage **** | 1.35 | V |
| Max Voltage ***** | 2.0 (3.6?) | V |
* No movement
** After approximately 90 seconds idle
*** After ~10 minutes of sleep? (to be measured)
**** Below this voltage the device is consistently unable to start
***** The device can tolerate more (tested up to 5.5V),
but above 4.8V it seems to consume unusually high power during Deep Sleep,
and above 2.0V the main voltage bus (nominal 2.0V) follows the input voltage (the same appens with the led 3.7V bus) meaning it goes over
the normal opperating conditions, still unkown if it has any long term impact (cryomods is currently running a long term test on one), suspission is that it is generally safe.These are rough conservative approximations (though measured with fairly good equipment). Measurements on a single personal device.

hardware
The hardware was traced in gimp, and can be analyzed in there too (everything is layered), file is here.
Whatch out, the top is mirrored!

firmware
Initially plans were made to break APPPROTECT and dump the firmware, but it appears logitech never enabled it (you ok? lol)
Sensor
The G305 comes with a HERO sensor, made in house by logitech, based on the mercury.
A reverse engineering effort towards this sensor will be made in a separate repo hero-re.
