Hi all,
i am having issues with the mKit and current consumption.
Just an FYI to measure consumption i am placing the mKIT in series with a shunt resistor and measuring the volt drop across the shunt to obtain current of circuit. The load in this case is the mKIT and is powered by placing 3.3V for the series circuit onto the +- headers near P1 on the mKIT.
Measuring current in this way yields 20mA just for blinky and a complete NRF System off 17mA.
Obviously this does not seem correct at all and am wondering what is happening and if has to do with power input near P1 sinking current even when the MCU is off? Is there a better way of measuring the current consumption on the mKIT?
