I have followed the instructions to setup/prepare/wire the PP2 to my DK and current measurement appears to be working correctly. My issue is that my idle current</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 28 Jun 2021 07:30:50 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/76782/high-idle-current-consumption-nrf52833-dk" /><item><title>RE: High Idle Current Consumption nRF52833 DK</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/317391?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Jun 2021 07:30:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:20b72001-cff9-4c6a-8451-8374e8074c09</guid><dc:creator>Karl Ylvisaker</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello Sam,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am happy to hear that you were able to bring the current down to the expected levels! :)&lt;br /&gt;The UART logging is indeed known to increase power consumption by quite a lot. The RTT option has a lower power consumption than the UART, but still it will throw off your readings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please do not hesitate to open another ticket if you encounter any issues or questions in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck with your development!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;Karl&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: High Idle Current Consumption nRF52833 DK</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/317324?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 25 Jun 2021 19:26:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:2f632e66-520c-45b9-a3d4-bee3124fd28a</guid><dc:creator>jansens</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Ok so setting&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;CONFIG_SERIAL=n brought me down to about 8 uA which is around where I expected.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
