Low power usage as UDP receiver in STA
Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2016 5:54 amI need help in my project.
How can I make power usage low while working in STA as UDP receiver?
I need to receive data relatively fast (but 500-1000 delay is acceptable) but rarely (100 bytes packets / 3 per hour).
I have tested minimal code with delay(500) in loop and average power consumption is about 60 mA.
I have metered that value by metering fully charged battery operating time.
I have found that data from multimeter was unreliable (20 mA)
Is it possible to lower that consumption?
