Tested internally with RAK4631 and Xiao NRF52. |
|
Will this also apply to repeater firmware, or just companion for now? |
|
Just built and flashed the repeater build to my RAK 4631. Here we go! |
|
@sean-leach Power saving for NRF52 repeaters has been available for a while in MC 1.14.1 and PS 14.1. CLI: powersaving on. |
|
Thank you! |
|
@jmarcelino Your power visualization looks cool. Enjoy. |
|
Hello @IoTThinks , gg for your incredible works with https://github.com/IoTThinks/EasySkyMesh/releases/ |
|
Please merge <3 |

@IPv777 Sometimes, I feel we don't need the battery measurement at repeaters any more. Some friends with tiny / barebone RAK4631 repeaters with power saving can reduce down to 3.8mA. |

One small change and this should be good to go 👍

Hmm, I need to rebase. |
No problems, it will be good to get this merged. I'm happy to resolve the merge conflicts too if you like. |

@oltaco I did a merge and rebase just now. |


Hi friends,
This PR is to reduce 30% power consumption for NRF52 companions.
Expected behavior: You will not see any differences against MeshCore dev. Except the battery life is longer.
Your NRF52 companions can virtually have extra 30% more battery capacity.
Enjoy.
