I have an esp development board with micro USB power. How can I measure it's power consumption?
For raspberry pi I use a USB gadget that shows voltage and current but it shows 0 amps for the esp.
I don't have, or know how to use an oscilloscope.
Is there a similar easy gadget to show micro amps?
Thanks!

There is a middle point between an USB gadget and an oscilloscope: a multimeter. You probably do not need a fancy and expensive model, just be sure that it has enough resolution to measure small currents.

Thanks. I do have a multimeter, will have to read up on using it.
