Hi,
I am developing an Android app that uses data from WICED Sense. I expect my end-users to buy WICED Sense tags, download my app and then connect Sense to my app.
Everything is working fine. But before announcing the app publicly, I have a few questions:
- The battery life for the Sense with firmware version 1.3 is not very high. The battery goes weak after about 2 hours of use. Does Broadcom have any plans to address this?
- Where is the source code for firmware version 1.3? I would like to try my hand at tweaking it. I only see a post about firmware v1.2.
- Can any firmware (custom) be installed on the Sense tag and is this a recommended practice? Does the firmware need to be signed?
- How much power is consumed when blinking LEDs and playing beeps? Can we increase battery life by reducing the blinks and the beeps?
- How much power is consumed when connected but not sending data?
- How much power is consumed when connected and sending data (from SENSE to GATT client)? Can we increase battery life significantly by reducing the number of transmissions?
thanks,
HRJ
