Low Power Node example application

[Dinesh]

Hi,

Greetings!

I just tried Low Power Node example application from SDK for mesh 16.0.0

It works functionally well, however I am little curious to know below point(s)

1. Will this type of application survive on CR2032 cion cell?

2. If yes then how long it will go?

Please note that here I am considering no additional hardware resources here.

Regards,

Dinesh

Hi Mttrinh,

Greetings!

Thanks for your reply.

I tried Low Power Node example and observed that it consumes around 400uAmp of current (this could be near to actual practical current consumption.) (Checked on Digital Multi-meter, please note that I have not any other device to measure current right now, so please bear with me.)

So instead of debating on how long the battery will last, let's discuss on below point

a. Is 400 uAmp is desired current consumption? or should it be couple of micro-amperes?

b. If it should be too much lesser then what are the possible mistakes, I have been making?

c. If have checked sleep mode current of nRF52832 and it shows 1-2 micro-amperes on digital multi-meter.

d. Correct me if I am going in wrong direction.

Can we not put LPN device in sleep mode? Just in order to have better current consumption.

Thanks in advance.
