How low can arduino can go?

@funky81 Well I am not sure what else to try to get lower than 11.5uA. If you are getting 4uA then it's possible. I will have to try your sleep method
void sleep(){ // disable ADC ADCSRA = 0; // clear various "reset" flags MCUSR = 0; // allow changes, disable reset WDTCSR = bit (WDCE) | bit (WDE); // set interrupt mode and an interval WDTCSR = bit (WDIE) | bit (WDP3) | bit (WDP0); // set WDIE, and 1 second delay wdt_reset(); // pat the dog set_sleep_mode (SLEEP_MODE_PWR_DOWN); noInterrupts (); // timed sequence follows sleep_enable(); // turn off brown-out enable in software MCUCR = bit (BODS) | bit (BODSE); MCUCR = bit (BODS); interrupts (); // guarantees next instruction executed sleep_cpu (); // cancel sleep as a precaution sleep_disable(); }currently I am using
gw.sleep(INTERRUPT,CHANGE, 0); -
I use the @funky81 's sleep method but the nrf doesn't go to sleep so I draw 14ma. When I use the gw.sleep method, I draw +-26ua. Is it possible to go below? (without the nrf, my own pcb with atmega328 go to 5ua in sleep mode with your function (doesn't work with gw.sleep because it's a test without the nrf ;D)

@Tibus do you have other nrf to try? I'm affraid you're using fake nrf.
30% of my nrf (out of 10), are fake...one more thing, sleep method in above post dont turn off nrf radio while sleep.
you can try gw.sleep() if you want turn off nrf radio while sleep (MyGateway gw) -
yes, when I use de gw.sleep it works great but I can't go lower than 26ua+-. My test with your function draw 14ma because the nrf doesn't go to sleep... But is there a method to go lower than 26ua with the nrf? I'm already verry happy of the 26ua but if I can go lower, it would be even better ;D
Do you things it's because I use fake nrf? where can i bought real nrf? The one I use is from electrodragon. -
