[Tinyos-help] current consumption with radio turned off

[Ruben Catteeuw]

Hi all,

 

It seems I can't add a jpg in attachment. Sorry about the previous mail.

Anyway, my question stays the same:

Why is the current consumption with the radio off this high (2mA)? I only have 2 timers running. 

Can I get this any lower?

 

regards

 

Ruben

Hi all,

Attached is a screenshot of the current consumtion while running my application on a telos mote.
The radio is off, then turned on, a packet is sent and the radio is turned back off.
I wonder why the current consumption is about 2mA when the radio is off. I only have some timers running.
I would like this current to be in the order of uA. How can I accomplish this?

thx a lot to anyone who can help me out!
