Xiao Sense Accelerometer Examples and Low Power

Hi there,
So I’ve compiled and run your sketch and with the Power Profiler II and the Nrf_connect for desktop BLE, I see when powered on it’s advertising and connectable AOK. However The PPKII shows the sleep is no-where near the posted numbers. I still see 20ma. during sleep? (see pics)


after a minute(60-sec) , BLE Scan shows it goes offline. not connectable.

So I’m betting the Battery is Dead or below a functional level.
here is the Wake_Up which takes more than a double tap BTW,
It does register a step and the BLE notify works sending the data.


the PPK shows it’s never reaching deep sleep.


I’m using a CR2450 coin cell FYI.
I think maybe when you sleep , you need to change the IMU from STEP cadence to ONLY Double-Tap awakable? if that make sense. perhaps it will be lower, YMMV
HTH
GL :slight_smile: PJ :v:

PS. Battery Monitor Service Appears to work well.
I went back and loaded BSP 1.1.5 and same but slightly lower Power with that, still not great!
It’s running for a day , see if it’s alive tonight?
