Power usage & optimization working in SOFTAP mode
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2015 4:00 amHello Guys...
I have a project where ESP8266 wifi is configured in SOFTAP mode, every 10 min it perform a wifi scan and connect to an access point and send data ( 30 seconds effort) . Also, ESP8266 is able to receive connections ( AP mode), consider 30 connections hour ( also , every connection is 30 second duration).
I'm performing test about power consumption, unfortunately sleep methods dosen't work because I'm in AP mode config, what do you suggest to optimize power? And, anybody has calculated the necessary current to run in AP mode?
Thks in advance, Francesco
