Hello Folks,
for a current project I'm trying to reduce power consumption on my T3.6. The Teensy will work as a long-time sensor platform for pressure and motion (IMU) data. Therefore I've read at the low-power tips (see link) that it's desirable to turn off the USB-Port to reduce power consumption when its not used.

My question now is how to do that, as I don't find any adequate information on that. Is there a specific command to disable the port and maybe even to enable it again when there is a new connection? Or do I have to reset the Teensy to enable the port again?
To be clear, I'm not asking for external power supply issues as the Teensy will not be powered through the USB. I want to disable the whole USB Port. Does anyone know how much current this will save or is this obsolete?
Thanks in advance
Louis
