Benchmark Arduino Pro Mini

Benchmark for Arduino Pro Mini is a IoT tool developed by AgroTechLab (Technology Development Laboratory for Agribusiness) of IFSC (Federal Institute of Santa Catarina).

It aims to get data about the energy consumption of Arduino Pro Mini in different operation modes. It can be used in conjunction with a power consumption analysis tool such as Power Monitor.

The following modes are provided in order to test energy consumption:

  • BENCHMARK_MODE_0

    • Duty cycle: 100%

    • Default arduino project configuration;

    • Builtin LED on;

    • loop process empty;

  • BENCHMARK_MODE_1

    • Duty cycle: 100%

    • Default arduino project configuration;

    • Builtin LED on;

    • add, sub, mult, div operations (1000 times);

    • toggle all digital I/O ports;

    • read all analogic input ports;

    • UART (serial) communication at 115200 baudrate (5 bytes);

  • BENCHMARK_MODE_2

    • Duty cycle: 100%

    • Only 3 digital I/O are set to OUTPUT the rest are set to INPUT_PULLUP;

    • All analogic port are set to LOW;

    • Builtin LED off;

    • add, sub, mult, div operations (1000 times);

    • toggle 3 digital I/O ports;

    • UART (serial) communication at 115200 baudrate (5 bytes);

    • disable ADC;

    • disable SPI;

  • BENCHMARK_MODE_3

    • BENCHMARK_MODE_2

    • CPU clock is reduced to 50% (8MHz);

  • BENCHMARK_MODE_4

    • BENCHMARK_MODE_3

    • CPU clock is reduced to 25% (4MHz);
