Miniminzing the energy in PSOC 6 to simply measure a voltage, and transmit an advertsiment

[dlprobst]

Hello, 

I am very new to the world of BTLE, but have a large background in electrochemistry. I am currently curious about trying to power the PSOC6 purely off electrochemical reactions (glucose and glucose oxidase). I wold like to measure the potetnial over a resitior, or charge pump, or anyhting that would minimize power, and simply send that raw value via bluetooth in the lowest energy consuming form possible. I apologies if this is to vauge. If there is a simpler solution then the PSOC6 (from what i hear this is a very complex chip) i am all ears! 

thanks,

David Probst

Hello,

PSoC 6 BLE is ultra-low-power PSoC device specifically designed for wearables and Internet of Things (IoT) products. PSoC 6 MCU gives the best power-saving benefit when low-power modes are implemented with other power saving features and techniques, without significantly sacrificing the performance. Please refer to the below application notes for more information.

For getting started with BLE Applications, please refer to the 'PSoC6BLE_FindMe and CE_222046_Gatt_Out' code examples in the PSoC Creator.
