High power after softblink restart

[Ingfu]

Hi,

I am using the softblink library in SDK 13.1 to control a RGB status indicator LED. It works fine, until I want to change the PWM settings or the LED pin.

The change is triggered by

  // Stop
  err_code = led_softblink_stop();
  APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
  // new settings
  led_softblink_off_time_set(65536);
  led_softblink_on_time_set(0);
  // restart
  err_code = led_softblink_start(1 << LED_G);
  APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

The LED starts to blink as desired, however the power consumption changes radically:

Could this be related to erratum [78] TIMER: High current consumption when using timer STOP task only?

Any idea?

Sorry for bothering, I just figured out,  that I commented out the initial led_softblink_start(). So no error.

No problem, glad to hear you figured it out
