My application uses Watch Dog Timer interrupt other than Halsleep function.. My scenario is End Device wakeup and send it's App_Addr to nearest Router and go for sleep. WDT is 2seconds.. only that much i need. no need for routing.. Just Wakeup ,Send and Sleep.... But for that scenario the device take 4milliseconds ON time.. My End Device is a Battery powered device(atmega256rfr2). I can't afford this type of power consumption... What are the factors affecting the power Consumption and how can i reduce it by code wise? I'm really stuck into it :-\
Here i'm attaching my Wsndemo for EndDevice the configuration file and sleep function

ataradov:
How did you measure that 4 ms time? It takes some time to send a frame and receive an ACK. I don't know if 4 ms is justified or not in this case. You need to measure different part of the process and see what takes the longest time and eliminate that.

Measured it by switching one Pin in my board in sleep

--- Code: --- case APP_STATE_SLEEP:
{
PORTD&=~(1<<PD6);//sleep
HAL_Sleep(APP_SENDING_INTERVAL);
appState = APP_STATE_WAKEUP;
} break;

case APP_STATE_WAKEUP:
{

  NWK_WakeupReq();
PORTD|=(1<<PD6);//sleep
                appState = APP_STATE_SEND;
} break;


--- End code ---


here PD6 is the pin I'm switching and measuring...

ataradov:
Ok, now do the same for all steps of the sending process and see what takes all this time. I don't know what could be taking that long.

Peili:
Ok i will check and update you sir
