Hello,
I'm using an Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V together with a NRF24L01 wireless module to receive data. This receiving unit is driven by a battery pack which will give me a runtime of round about 5 days until I have to change/charge the battery pack.
Since this is a receiving node I assume that I can't using any power saving functionalities from the NRF24L01 and Arduino module - because during sleep mode I could miss a transmission, right?
The only thing I could image is to skip the voltage regulator on board?
Do you have any other ideas how to save power consumption?
Thanks,
