Power Consmuption issue in nrf51 during advertising packets

[Brajesh]

Hi All,

My goal is to advertise the generic packets untill a GPIO interrupt occurs. So in order to achieve low power consumption I have increased the time interval of those packets being advertised from 40ms to 3 seconds. While scanning i am able to see the packets in every 3 sec, but as intended i don't see any reduction in power consumption. With both the intervals, it consumes same 10mA. Am i missing something on this, please suggest.

Any suggestion would be well appreciated.

Thanks

@Brajesh: What I meant was the CPU processing time, not the time your device remain in connection. Usually it's only dozens of micro second for CPU processing time depends on what you process. And is 0 microsecond if you don't have any interrupt handler or any processing in the main loop. Let me know when you have the stats on testing with our example.
