2.7µA sleep current with an ItsyBitsy nRF52840 - can't comment on youtube

Open Brezensalzer opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Sorry for using github for communication, but my comments on Your last youtube video (nRF52 boards) are not visible - don't know why,

I have acheived 2.7µA sleep current with an ItsyBitsy nRF52840 and Arduino/Bluefruit. I had to remove the dotstar led and the voltage regulator from the board due to high leak currents. On the software side I was unable to put the nordic softdevice to sleep again once started. So I've swapped the logic: Sleep first, then do the measurement/advertising and a soft reset afterwards. For details please have a look at my github repository: https://github.com/Brezensalzer/ble_sensor_adv

Best regards Stefan

Interesting! Does this mean that the chip is no more visible and does not transmit any data on BLE?

Yes, during sleep the BLE is completely off. It advertizes / broadcast its data for half a second every minute. My node is running on a 500 mAh LiFePO4 battery since 14.03.2022 with no signs of draining the battery (still on 3.25V).
