Need colaboration: how much current?

Hi I am trying to find out how much current is needed (minimum) to run ble advertisement only. Using a multimeter, I can see 0.50ma when nrf51822 is running this sample app, which I think is too much...

Please could you burn the hex of this program and tell me the mA beeing used? Thank you very much.

1. include "mbed.h"
2. include "BLE_API/ble/BLE.h"

BLEDevice ble;

const static char DEVICE_NAME[] = "Nordic_HRM"; static const uint16_t uuid16_list[] = {GattService::UUID_HEART_RATE_SERVICE, GattService::UUID_BATTERY_SERVICE, GattService::UUID_DEVICE_INFORMATION_SERVICE}; static volatile bool triggerSensorPolling = false;

void disconnectionCallback(Gap::Handle_t handle, Gap::DisconnectionReason_t reason) { ble.startAdvertising(); restart advertising }

void periodicCallback(void) { triggerSensorPolling = true; }

int hrmCounter=0;

int main(void) { Ticker ticker; ticker.attach(periodicCallback, 1);

ble.init();

/* Setup advertising. */ ble.accumulateAdvertisingPayload(GapAdvertisingData::BREDR_NOT_SUPPORTED | GapAdvertisingData::LE_GENERAL_DISCOVERABLE); ble.accumulateAdvertisingPayload(GapAdvertisingData::COMPLETE_LIST_16BIT_SERVICE_IDS, (uint8_t *)uuid16_list, sizeof(uuid16_list)); ble.accumulateAdvertisingPayload(GapAdvertisingData::GENERIC_HEART_RATE_SENSOR); ble.accumulateAdvertisingPayload(GapAdvertisingData::COMPLETE_LOCAL_NAME, (uint8_t *)DEVICE_NAME, sizeof(DEVICE_NAME)); ble.setAdvertisingType(GapAdvertisingParams::ADV_CONNECTABLE_UNDIRECTED); ble.setAdvertisingInterval(1600); /* 1000ms; in multiples of 0.625ms. */ ble.startAdvertising();

while (true) { ble.waitForEvent(); } }

PS: code was compiled for release profile
