https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/3938/nrf51822-mkit-current-consumptionHi 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.

You need to cut SB8 solder bridge and place shunt resistor on the footprint for R4. Then you can measure voltage drop on P1 header on pins 1 and 2.
