RE: RAK4630 power consumption in sleep mode over 900 ua

Our official SDK is the nRF Connect SDK, so I do not have experience with PlatformIO.

However, my suggestion either way is as follows:
Try to run some examples other than your application and have a look at their current consumption. This will give you some feeling for how much current simple projects consume. Also, this method often turns out to have some examples that show current consumption similar to what you see.

Other than this, it can be useful to get an accurate graph of the current drawn (for example using the Power Profiler Kit 2). Then you can compare this to the Online Power Profiler current and see what is from Bluetooth, and which consumption could be something else.

Hello,

I'm compiling and uploading the project using the PlatformIO extension in VScode

Hi,

Which version of the SDK do you use?
