How to enable low power mode on the NRF51822?
I'm working with an NRF51822 BLE chip, and setting it to advertise data once a minute. When it's not advertising, I want it to sleep so that it doesn't burn up too much power (this thing should be able to last for a long time), but I haven't been able to find a way to drop it into that low-power state that I need. I found the post linked to below, which talks about working in C and using Keil, but I'm working on a mac, and getting Keil to run is something of a hassle; I'd rather get this working through only mac software. I feel like putting the chip into sleep mode is a pretty basic task, and I don't understand why I can't find the info I'm looking for. Am I missing something obvious? Any help would be appreciated!
