You're absolutely correct, I'm sorry I didn't notice that you were using the nRF51. If you'd like measurement as accurate as possible, I suggest getting a Power Profiler Kit and a DK in order to measure the current consumption of your device with our Power Profiler app in nRFConnect.

If you want more of an estimate instead I still suggest looking at the Online Power Profiler, as the outline of one advertisement will be similar. One advertising event will last for ~3.5ms each time it advertises, so you have to put that into consideration. Other than that, I don't think your estimate is off by that much, but I would suggest doing some actual measurements.

Best regards,

Simon

The online power profiler does NOT support 51?

I suggest checking out our Online Power Profiler, where you can set up the parameters for your advertisement, and see the current consumption for one full advertisement in your scenario and then calculate the current consumption over 24 hours from there.

Best regards,
