Orange Pi Zero Wi-Fi power consumption

[plus90]

Hello,

 

Does the wi-fi module of the Orange Pi Zero consume power when I'm not using wi-fi? If it does, can I disable it?

 

My pi zero will be connected to ethernet 24/7 and I don't want it to consume unnecessary power.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

I suppose it does! You can disable the module or disable it in hardware. Read here for more information:
