 TWI init using nrf_drv_twi_init, if event_handler is null it will be blocking mode. My question is, which one is less power consuming? block or non-blocking mode?

&lt;p&gt;Non-blocking mode will have lower current consumption, given that you put the CPU in sleep during the transfer (by calling __WFE()). In blocking mode, the driver will be busy-looping while it waits for the event, adding&amp;nbsp;the current consumption of the CPU running. You will also lose CPU processing time that could have been used to perform other tasks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;Jørgen&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
