Reducing current power usage in nRF51822 in BLE connection

[James Baker]

Hi

H have developed a program for nRF51822 using "Arduino IED" and "BLEPeripheral" library, that performs an operation.

The operation is a button press and on each press, I add a value to my existing integer variable.

Moreover I have stored the variable in a characteristic but this characteristic is not being sent to the connected devices. but we also have an android application that reads this characteristic every 1000ms.

The problem is that I want to use as little power as I can because the device  is portable and using power from a button battery .

di you have any suggestions on reducing the power usage to the lowest?

Thanks.

More info:

Voltage: 3V

Soft device: s130

Here is the code:

Hi

Due to the summer vacation period we are currently understaffed, so delayed replies must be expected. I am sorry about any inconvenience this might cause.

Please check out this very thorough nRF51 current consumption guide, which includes just about every method to reduce current consumption in your design/application.
