Set the saadc's iteration cycle to 1 hour

[zester926]

Hi Devzone!

I'm using saadc to receive the value from analog sensor.

The power consumption is quite high so I wanna set the saadc's iteration cycle to 1 hour. Once an hour.

I tried to change the value of tick but It doesn't have effect when it is upper than 1000ms.

Is there any solution?

Best regards,

Baek

Have you looked into using the application timer? You can schedule a repeating timer that fires every hour. Every time the timer fires you start the measurement, once you've got your data you stop the SAADC and wait until the timer fires again. Below is a tutorial on how to use application timers
