Dear Community;
I am running some current measurements on the NRF9160 DK. I am following the manual instructions:
1.-I am powering the NRF through external power supply pins with 3.6V.
2.-I slide switch 10 to EXT position.
3.-I connect a current meter to the two uppermost p24 pins.
Results:
In the current meter, I get negative values and then stabilizes at 4uA. If I put another current meter in series with the 3.6V Li-Ion battery the NRF is consuming 300uA.
I have seen that in the blog of "how to measure currents" it is necessary to cut SB43, but in my DK(0.8.3) it came already cut.
So I have two questions.
1.-What I am doing wrong to measure negative values and then 4uA when the real consumption value is 300uA?
2.-Why is the board consuming 300uA when I reach k_cpu_idle() if I have disabled config_serial in my project conf and SPM conf?
Any help is important due to is the final phase of a project and we need to achieve 20-50uA.
Thanks in advance.
