Abstract
Examples are disclosed relating to arming and managing power consumption of a haptic feedback component in a stylus prior to actuating the haptic feedback component to produce haptic output. In one example, at least on condition of detecting a first user interaction with the stylus, power is transmitted for at least a first time period to a haptic circuit communicatively coupled to the haptic feedback component. At least on condition of determining that the first time period expires, it is determined if a second user interaction with the stylus is detected. If the second user interaction is detected, the stylus continues transmitting power to the haptic circuit. If the second user interaction is not detected, the stylus ceases transmitting power to the haptic circuit.
