PowerSaving 17: Breaking the 6 mA Barrier — Down to 1 mA

Internal testing in progress

Do NOT use for production devices

Features

• Implemented RX DutyCycle to keep power consumption of repeater down to 2mA. All other features would work as normal.
• TODO: To set set radio.rxps balanced automatically when powersaving on

Test Results

Configuration:

• powersaving on
• gps off
• set radio.fem.rxgain off
• set radio.rxps off vs. set radio.rxps balanced vs. set radio.rxps level 10 preamble 16
• get radio.rxps
• get rxps.wd

Test results are measured by Uni-T 890C 6000 counts:

• T096 repeater: 9.1A => 4.6-8.8mA => 2.7-8.8mA
• T114 repeater: 7.9mA => 3.4-7.5mA => 1.6-7.3mA
