nRF5 action!

[NeverDie]

Interestingly, I just now tried the same measurement with one of these nRF52832 modules instead of the Ebyte module:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/nRF52832-Bluetooth-4-1-BLE-Module-M4-Transparent-Transmission-SMA-512K-FLASH-64K-RAM-pass-through/32798522093.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.KKA3PF
and during sleep it measured 6uA. Quite a bit lower!

Anyone know of a module which tests even lower than that?

Did you use the same board definition in the IDE and the same script ?

Yes.

@NeverDie
Have you tried sleep and wait for an external interrupt instead of sleep and wake on timer?
Just in case it is the lfxtl that is causing the problem.

Haven't tried that yet. Is there a library functional call for that, or do I need to start addressing the registers directly? With this new mpu, I feel like I'm learning to walk all over again.

@NeverDie

Try

sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(10), FALLING,0);

@NeverDie

Try

sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(10), FALLING,0);

Unexpected result: using that as the sleep invocation, the infor-link module measures at 14ua while sleeping. i.e. worse, not better, compared to the 6ua measured earlier.

[NeverDie]

Looks as though the infor-link is using an A620N crystal:

I tried to see if I could find a datasheet for it, in the hope of learning what its current consumption is (or, at least, should be). Unfortunately, though, I couldn't find a datasheet for an A620N.

[NeverDie]

Maybe it doesn't matter, because in looking at the actual module I received, it appears to use a different XTAL anyway: A649N.

[NeverDie]

Maybe from a current consumption standpoint, not using an external XTAL crystal, but rather relying on the nRF52832's internal resonator would draw less current? I know that's true for the atmega328p. If so, then that's a trade-off worth examining more carefully.

Sorry i have been a little distracted because my waveshare BLE400 and jlink just turned up.
Took a little time to get it running but i loaded up the mockmysensors sketch with all the sensors un commented and pow all 30 odd sensors showed up in domoticz which made me chuckle.
Anyway post your sketch for the consumption testing and i will put it in and see if it works on my board.
The only problem is i can not unplug it from the Ble400 because i have no way of connecting wires to the core board because of the smaller pitch pins.

I selected the board "Nordic nRF52832 DK" in the board manager.
You'll need a separate serial gateway running for it to communicate with, or else it will never get to the section where it sleeps.

[NeverDie]

@rmtucker said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

The only problem is i can not unplug it from the Ble400 because i have no way of connecting wires to the core board because of the smaller pitch pins.

For the current measurement, just program it with the above sketch on your Waveshare, then unplug your module from the BLE400 board and power it using a GND dupont wire and a Vcc dupont wire connected through your uCurrent Gold, or whatever it is that you're using to measure current. I should think that would work, wouldn't it?

Or do you only have the main board without the smaller plug-in module?

It actually looks like a nice setup.

[rmtucker]

@NeverDie

When you unplug the little board it only has 1.27mm spaced pins and they are not standard dupont size so shy soldering to them which would mean i could not plug it back in to the BLE.
Anyway i am only using a crappy multimeter and with it plugged in and running your sketch i am getting 140uA but i will find a way of unplugging it so hang fire.

[Nca78]

@rmtucker you could try to just solder 2 tiny wires on top of the board for vcc and gnd pins so you don't mess with the connectors for plugin it back on the main board ?

[NeverDie]

@Nca78
Agreed. It sounds as though the bigger problem is going to be his crappy multimeter, if that's all he has. Maybe a good time for an upgrade?

[rmtucker]

@NeverDie
Ok with my crappy multimeter i am getting 4-5uA with just Vcc and Ground connected.

[NeverDie]

I'll try removing the 32.768Khz crystal from an infor-link module and then re-run the sketch that relies on an external interrupt to wake from sleep. Maybe that will get us closer to the theoretical minimum current of just the nRF52832 chip by itself.

[rmtucker]

@NeverDie
Just a little thought on this and a bit of googling.
Just the system on consumption is 1-2uA without the rtc that is needed for wakeup so i don,t think the figures we are getting are that far away from the spec sheet?
