Rob reveals off the low-power consumption choices on our new NORA-W306 Factor+!
Rob is again at work with the brand new SparkFun Factor Plus – NORA-W306, and this time he is exhibiting off the low-power consumption capabilities of the board. This Feather form-factor improvement board is able to quite a bit together with an built-in single-chip low-power dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Wi-fi LAN (WLAN) and Bluetooth® Low Vitality (BLE 5.3) communication microcontroller. It additionally consists of a twin processor core: Arm Cortex-M33 and Cortex-M23!
To enhance the module’s low-power choices, we have optimized elements and added the flexibility to depower all subsystems to preserve as a lot energy as potential for distant battery-powered purposes. ANd that is what we’re having a look at as we speak!
Discover ways to discover the present draw on your board on this video with Rob.
For these of you who is likely to be excited by measuring the present draw by way of the MEAS jumper on the Factor+, you may minimize the hint situated on the again of the board and energy the board by way of USB or battery. Then, merely place a multimeter set to measure present on the PTHs. This makes it simpler to measure the present versus measuring the present between the ability supply and connector.
We have now a lot extra examples in our Hookup Information for this Factor+ together with the way to scan for WiFi networks, Bluetooth UART Providers and Purchasers, gas gauge show, and way more! Be sure to take a look at our our information for a full write-up.
