This design is amazing, thanks so much for making it open source!
I'm curious about how much power your system consumes. I'm thinking about adding a battery and solar panel to the design to work in my remote hives.
Thanks so much!

I don't recall the exact power draw of the LEDs.... but I think having all LEDs ON for 75us and off for ~30ms results in an average power draw of around ~50ma at 5V. So it's the current draw of your uController plus the power draw of the LEDs => total power drawl
