Hello
Im using a NRF24L01+ module along with a arduino nano. This is all running on 6x AA batteries and its consuming way to much power atm. I believe the reason for this is because i have connected the NRF24 modules VCC directly to the Arduinos 3.3v output pin.. Meaning the module is always on and always consuming power.
Can i somehow make the module only turned on when needed, so that it wont consume power when not needed ?
I was thinking about connecting the VCC from the NRF to the output of the Arduino instead, so that it would only receive power when the Arduino is "using" it, but im not sure if this is the best case.
The NRF24 module is ONLY used to transmit at some certain points, so theres no problem in it sleeping anytime in between.
