Is arduino code Consume More power other than "Avr Studio" Code?

Please tell some key points for power saving. Processor on $ off Methodology.

• Nick Gammon: Processor on $ off Methodology. - not sure what you mean by that.

Answer 1

There is nothing about the Arduino code that would inherently consume more power than using a different compiler, so no, it doesn't. What the code does you can change in either development environment.

Read Power saving techniques for microprocessors for a considerable number of tips about saving power.
