Key Info
Microduck's new fully custom single-board computer, built by Seeed around a Rockchip CPU, replaced the Radxa prototype and delivered over 3 hours of runtime on a 2600 mAh battery with zero thermal throttling.
Highlights
- Average battery current dropped from ~1.13 A to ~0.82 A, roughly 28% less
- Peak CPU temperature fell from 114°C to 60°C, with no thermal throttling during the test
- The prototype previously throttled after 20 minutes and then shut down from overheating
- The new board adds better memory, WiFi/BT, dual NFC antennas, status LEDs, and an RGB flashlight
- Microduck roamed autonomously until the battery fully drained
