nRF5 action!

@nca78 thanks for the hint.

I tried to merge my sketch with the code provided by @NeverDie but I can not seem to get it to detect my button and I don't quite understand where I should attach my button that is on pin 28 to the interrupt thingie.

Here is my code now:

I thought that I should do it like this:

void activateLpComp() {
   NRF_LPCOMP->PSEL=28; // monitor AIN3 (pin P0.02 on nRF51822 for coincell_multisensor_v10)
  while (!(NRF_LPCOMP->PSEL==28)) {} //wait until confirmed

But then it does not seem to run the loop anymore because I do not get the 10s blink.

Guys, help me understand: when do I need to enable DC-DC?
My breakout board consists of Ebyte module and a couple of buttons. Battery is CR2450 directly connected to the module.
Do I need DC-DC?

NeverDie

@toyman With DC-DC, it uses roughly half the current during Tx and Rx. Seems like a no brainer to me, but you don't literally "need" to have it. I'm not aware of any downsides to it.

Toyman

@neverdie thx. What is needed hardware-wise? Two inductors between dc and dec4? Like in your breakout board?

NeverDie

@toyman Correct. You can review the schematic for this project: https://www.openhardware.io/view/472/Ebyte-nRF52832-Prototyping-Board

korttoma

I guess this is why I cant get LPCOMP to work on the device.

Eight input options (AIN0 to AIN7)

I would have to use the analog inputs because pin 28 is just a general purpose I/O pin.

Toyman

ebyte module is currently on sale at roughly $2.5
Total bargain!

Nca78

@korttoma using MySensors NRF5 boards you should be able to assign one AINx pin to physical pin 28.
The index you need to put in the code is the AIN index not the pin number.

korttoma

@nca78 sorry but I cannot figure out how to do this. Should I do it in the MyBoardNRF5.cpp, MyBoardNRF5.h or in the sketch?

Nca78

@korttoma sorry I said stupid things as I'm a beginner too, you can't reassign analog inputs and LPCOMP to different pins on NRF5 chips.

korttoma

@nca78 it is ok, I think I will have to set up a test system with a different device with witch I can measure current consumption, attach serial logging and then try to fiddle with the code. I'm flying in the dark with this bluetooth beacon device since I cannot access any pins.

Toyman

@neverdie thx. Why don't you have a capacitor between DEC4 to GND? I can see only 2 inductors, while Nordic power guidelines prescribe an LC filter between DCC and DEC, ie inductors and a capacitor. nrf52dk also has it.

NeverDie

@toyman I guess I made an error then. Thanks for pointing that out. In general, I haven't gotten much feedback on the PCB's that I've posted, so any feedback is always appreciated. :)

Omemanti

@neverdie Question is, did the DC/DC still work without the cap?

I believe it did. If you look at: https://www.openhardware.io/view/471/Ebyte-nRF52832-Small-Breakout-Board
which has the inductors soldered on, I believe that is the one that I tested. Enough time has passed though that I can't be 100% sure now. I made a number of different variations, and I didn't post all of them.

I used your schematic for a PCB I ordered yesterday :), did saw the post about the cap until it was too late :(
part of the game!

Edit: according to your post https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/6961/nrf5-bluetooth-action/797 it did work

Nca78

@nca78 said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

I will try it on my board (using a module with QFAAH0) tomorrow, if power consumption is as low as expected I'll try on the beacon board.

@NeverDie I have tried the sketch nearly unchanged (only changed to lines because I use pin P0.01 so AIN2) and my current consumption is a bit over 30uA, do you have any idea of what I should check ? (I tried with both versions 0.1 and 0.3 of MySensors NRF5 boards).
At the moment my board only has a led and a DRV5032FB (<<1uA) in addition to the nrf51 module.

Toyman

Just to close the loop on DC-DC:

do you have any idea of what I should check ?

Have you tried disabling serial?

Your code does it.
