How to measure Central power consumption using BLE.
BLE_Power_Central application usage: - BLE_Power_Central application need to be used with BLE_Power_Peripheral application (2 Hardware boards needed). - Configuration phase (Red led is active or toggling): buttons are active and user can select the desired configuration to measure - Power consumption measurement phase (Red led if off): buttons are disabled and power measurement can be done.
BLE_Power_Central can be used to measure: - Central power consumption on Idle state. - Central power consumption on Data transfer state.
Connectivity, BLE, BLE protocol, BLE pairing, BLE profile
In order to make the program work, you must do the following :
Note: CFG_PERIPH_BD_ADDRESS must be configured in BLE_Power_Central, it must contain the BLE_Power_Peripheral BD address.
Once powered the application automatically connect to the BLE_Power_Peripheral and the configuration phase start for 10sec: buttons can be used to select the desired configuration:
