Turn Off Subsystems Remotely To Reduce Power Usage with Golioth and Joulescope
Use Golioth cloud capabilities to trigger lower and lower power modes, then measure the output using a Joulescope.

If you have ever tried communicating with a device on a private network, you may have encountered Network Address Translation (NAT). Because the number of connected devices has long outpaced the number of unique addresses in the IPv4 address space, public IP addresses have to be shared between devices. This introduces a number of challenges.
Zephyr has a lot of tricks up its sleeve and most recently I used it to enable power regulators on a custom Golioth board. Perhaps the most interesting part of this is that it can be done entirely with the configuration code, without needing to dive in to any of the C files. And as […]
In this post, we look at the absolute minimum current drawn by the nRF9160 SOC when peripherals and modems are turned off, using the Power Profiler Kit 2 (PPK2) to measure the current consumption.
IoT devices are usually battery-operated and, more often than not, need to run on a single battery charge for multiple years. Before we know it, MCU power consumption becomes a huge deal when developing a product. Measuring power consumption of an MCU can be challenging since it does not depend on just one thing. It […]
How full is your battery? How much current is your USB device drawing? What is your energy usage of your bank of devices? Gaining granular feedback on your electricity usage is a valuable tool. We have previously discussed this as part of our AC Power Monitor. We took that concept and extended it for DC […]
This IoT Power monitor is the newest reference design from Golioth. Quickly deploy a fleet of devices for monitoring electrical equipment to increase efficiency and monitor machine outages.
How do you ensure you achieve the lowest possible power with your Cellular IoT Devices? We held a webinar on January 18th, 2023 where we tackled this question.
The Golioth team will team up with Jared Wolff of CircuitDojo to talk about reducing power in cellular based designs connecting to the Cloud. Use the form on this post to take part in the webinar.
This talk describes some of the motivations behind building a common module platform at Golioth, the challenges of unconstrained designs, and how to build modular systems that take advantage of Zephyr RTOS capabilities.
