Current measurements
The current drawn from the nRF51822 device can be monitored using the Current Shunt Monitor (CSM),
INA216 (U2). The gain of the CSM is set to 200 V/V for lowest possible drop voltage.
For current measurements using the CSM, the jumper on connector
K1
must be placed on Pin 2 and Pin 3.
This is the default position of the jumpers when shipped. Current on the nRF51822 module is measured on
connector
K2
as voltage proportional to the current.
For current measurements using the jumper
P7
on the Motherboard, the jumper on connector
K1
must be
placed on Pin 1 and Pin 2.
