Hi,
I'm trying to measure the current of my nRF9160 DK (PCA10090 v0.8.2) and have some problems.
In respect to the following thread (https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/42387/instructions-for-setting-up-9160-dk-for-current-measurement-are-confusing) I cut the SB44. Then I connected an ammeter to the pins 1 and 2. The ammeter shows constantly 0 uA/mA and the DK doesn't reach the applications start (main()).
Instead LED 1 and LED 2 are blinking very slow. By shorten the pins 1 and 2, everythings works fine again.
Did I miss to cut or short another solder bridge?
And a second question:
The board is supplied by a USB cable yet but in order to measure the current in another way I wanted to ask
if it is enough to switch SW10 to "ext" to power the DK by an external supply or if I have to handle some
solder bridges too?
The guides and existing threads are a little bit confusing in that cases...
Best regards.
