Hi Krishna, There is not CC2420 low power listening mode as such. When the radio is listening, it always consumes the same amount of power (which is, by the way, more than for sending). All you can do is adjust the sending power, but in reality this has very little effect on the overall power consumption of the radio.
To really save energy, you should turn off the radio whenever possible. Of course the question then is how to know when you need to turn it on. Have a look at the Writing Low Power Applications tutorial, and in particular the section on Radio Power Management for a standard approach to reduce power consumption. Cheers, Urs PS: For low-power listening (LPL) commands to work you will have to activate LPL (by default it is not activated). You can do this with a line like this in the Makefile: CFLAGS += "-DLOW_POWER_LISTENING" Nagarjuna wrote: > Hello, > > Is there a way to put CC2420 into low power radio listening state . > This can be done for CC1000 using CC1000RadioIntM.setListeningMode(i) .
