Clément Delangue praises Microduck's building in public progress

Clément Delangue of Hugging Face says he loves the building-in-public approach, responding to Matth Lapeyre's post about Microduck's battery testing. Lapeyre reports the new custom board ran over 3 hours on a 2600 mAh battery, with average current dropping from about 1.13 A to 0.82 A and peak CPU temperature falling from 114°C to 60°C without throttling.

We did not know how long Microduck would actually last on battery We had thermal management issues with our Radxa prototypes: throttling after just 20 minutes, followed by an overheating shutdown. We addressed this with the new custom board. To test it, we let Microduck roam autonomously in a dedicated area, walking around, standing and sitting until the battery ran out. The results are way better than we hoped :) - Over 3 hours on a 2600 mAh battery. - Estimated average battery current dropped from ~1.13 A to ~0.82 A, roughly 28% less. - Peak CPU temperature dropped from 114°C to 60°C, with zero thermal throttling throughout the test. This time, the battery ran out before the cooling did :) Very happy with the progress!
