This is included in the PowerTOSSIM paper: Simulating the power consumption of large-scale sensor network applications
The way to test the individual components is to lift the power pin to that component and attach an ammeter in series. -Joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Andrade Costa Silva Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 8:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Tinyos-help] Power consumption of mica2 Does anyone ever tried to measure power consumption on mica2? It is shown on ATMEL manual (mica2 page 20 - section power) that the current consuption of processor isolated is 0.010mA... However, when I try to measure the current of a simple program only using component "Main" its consuption becomes 3.48mA. It's because the "Main" component actually calls another components initialization like "hardwareInit", "Pot.init" and a scheduler wich it probably uses for enqueue tasks preempted by events (files $TOSDIR/tos/system/Main.nc and RealMain.nc). Is there a way to test the components like processor, flash and radio individually in a program???
