Power Profiling Kit nRF6707

Hello everyone,

Does this PPK able to measure current consumption of Arduino Uno R3? From the data sheet it say it has a standard Arduino Uno pin but i am not sure whether it able to measure the Arduino Uno current consumption since the PPK are design for the nrf board. Thank you.

I do not believe this will work. For one, the Nordic PPK is compatible with nRF51 or nRF52 dev kits (or external custom HW). In addition, the operating voltage of the arduino uno is 5 volts, whereas the PPK supports a Device Under Test voltage of max 3.6 V.

How about arduino zero which operate in 3.3 V. Can the software of PPK able to detect the current consumption?

This should most likely work. It would be very similar to this usecase. It's possible to adjust the PPK voltage in the PPK software. If you do not have a Segger J-Link, you could consider buying the Segger EDU J-link (assuming your project is non commercial) or buying a nrf52 dev kit & following the steps provided here.
