Hi, I am not sure. I will commit power measurements in the future for my development. I recall that in the past i measured about 10uA with the radio off. I just started it when i want to send a packet with RadioControl interface, and turn it off in the sendDone event. While sending i measure 20 mA. All this measurement correspond to tmote. In that experiment i also noted that the mote dies at 1.5 Volts, without using external flash.
If you are going to actually measure current consumption I would be great to share reasults. -Bill On Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 10:49 AM, Xiaodong Wang <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the reply. > > But from the datasheet of telosb from Moteiv, there is an item: > > Current Consumption: Radio On, Oscillator on, 365 uA. > > What is this item?
