Battery voltage is not a particularly good indicator of power consumption because it is affected by temperature and ambient environment.
Having said that, there are two known bugs in lowpower in Boomerang 2.0.2. A forthcoming 2.0.3 release will be available very soon. -Joe On 5/10/06, Roberto Garcia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I am doing some experiments with Delta/Trawler in lowpower mode using telosb motes. However, I am seeing much higher than expected voltage drops (approximately 32 mV/day using plain alkaline batteries) even though I am only sending 1 data sample per 6 seconds/per mote. Are there any special compiler flags that I need to set besides the lowpower flag to see the battery performance increase? Right now I am installing the software using the following line in the apps/Delta directory: "make tmote lowpower install 0, bsl 8" Your help is greatly appreciated.
