Hi,
I'm trying to measure the power consumption of Zephyr's iBeacon sample (zephyr/samples/bluetooth/ibeacon) on the nRF52840 DK. I prepared the DK by cutting the PCB track that shorts the solder bridge SB40, I flashed the firmware to the DK, and I connected everything as follows:
Then after connecting both devices to my computer, I opened the Power Profiler app in nRF Connect for Desktop, selected the PPK2 device, chose Ampere meter, clicked Start, and then I got a maximum current consumption of 0.58 µA. This can't be right for this example, the peaks for the advertisements should be much higher:
I confirmed that the iBeacon firmware is running: I can receive the advertisements on my phone with nRF Connect for Mobile.
How can I investigate what is going on?
