We are using Xbees (XB1, XB2, XB6) for more than 10 years (Rmoni Wireless) and now we are trying to get a programmable Xbee (S2C TH) working. I have 2 questions :
- long sleep Xbee Sample App:
The lowest power consumption i get is +/- 130 µA
- only vdd (3.3V) and GND connected
- keep uptime is enabled : +/- 60µA (needed for waking up the app)
(this is a huge power-consumer, we should check if we can get rid of it)
But anyway, i would expect to reach < 80 µA.
What are normal rates?
- flashing in release
Now, i am testing with the debuggable bootloader and then transferring my code with the USB MultiLink Interface.
How to flash release version (in production) ? can it with old XCTU? Other?
Can this be the cause of the high power-consumption?
Thanks in advance,
