Current Consumption Measurement
A removable jumper (fitted on to header CON1) is provided to break the power supply line directly to the module (if
SB9 is cut), allowing you to measure current consumption. For normal operation, you must fit a jumper on header
connector CON1.
IMPORTANT: To achieve various low power modes using the BT900 series module on the development board, see
the following sample
smartBASIC applications available from the
uc.uart.close.standby.doze.sb
uclp.uart.low.power.operation.sb
lp.low.power.deep.sleep.sb
Note: This only measures the current consumption of the BT900 series module only.
The current drawn by the BT900 series module can be monitored on the development board.
