# BLE Power Consumption Test

This program allows an operator to select a BLE state (scan or advertise in constant or periodic mode) to measure power consumption in that state. Running the program on two boards and selecting scan on one and advertise/periodic advertise on the other will result in a connection between the boards so that power can also be measured in the connect as master/connect as peripheral states.

## Platforms

There are implementations (configuration & compilation) for the following systems:

 * [mbed OS](mbed/ReadMe.md)
 * [Zephyr](zephyr/ReadMe.md)

## Invocation

Input and output is via serial. The program can be commanded to enter either the advertise (`a` command) or scan (`s` command) state, which last for 60 seconds by default. If two boards are set to complementary states, a connection will be formed and maintained for a default length of 60 seconds. Instead of connecting, the boards can be synced via periodic advertising by toggling the periodic flag with the `p` command before using the `s` and `a` commands. By default, the scanning board will look for another device with the name `Power Consumption`; using the `m` command and inputting a hexadecimal MAC address (`0a1b2c3d4e5f` or `0a:1b:2c:3d:4e:5f` format) will cause `s` to scan for the device with the given MAC instead. This can be reverted by using the `m` command again and pressing `ENTER`.
