GPIO Triggering Support with nRF PPK 2

[Akhil Francis]

Hi,

I have a scenario where I need to capture the power consumption of a specific period for individual power lines. I understand that I need to use the ammeter feature for this purpose. However, I would like to know if the nRF PPK 2 supports external triggering, specifically where user firmware can trigger the nRF PPK 2 to start and stop data acquisition using a GPIO. This way, I can measure the power consumption within the correct time window.

I'm using the nRF PPK 2, and I noticed that the version on the board is PCA63100 1.0.1.

Could you confirm whether my version of the nRF PPK 2 supports external triggering? If not, is there another version that supports this feature? If not, is it possible to automate this process using command-line options with my current version of the nRF PPK 2?

Hi

As far as I know that PPK2 do not support triggering from external gpio as part of the nRF Connect application. I would think it should be doable to start measuring using command line option. I would recommend you to have a look at this python lib https://github.com/IRNAS/ppk2-api-python which allows you to control the PPK over serial.
