Low-Power Sensing Patterns

Lead mentor

Haneul Park

Former lead firmware engineer on consumer gateways; prefers small diffs and loud test names.

Overview

Battery-first products punish sloppy sampling strategies. You profile wake windows, compare ADC strategies, and document the human-visible impact of your choices. We include a field day with light meters and sound level triggers so constraints feel tangible.

What is included

  • Energy trace interpretation clinic
  • Comparator vs ADC decision lab
  • Sensor fusion timing without oversampling waste
  • Firmware sleep matrix template
  • Human-perceptible latency checks
  • Packaging thermal note for plastic enclosures
  • Capstone memo for PM hand-off

Outcomes

  1. Publish a sleep matrix for a reference SKU
  2. Show before/after traces for a duty-cycle change
  3. Deliver a one-page PM brief on user-perceived latency

Participant notes

  • Sleep matrix template from Low-Power Sensing Patterns is now part of our hardware bring-up kit.

FAQ

Nice to have, not required. Lab worksheets include budget-friendly measurement alternatives.
