BattOr: Portable Power Monitor for Mobile Phones
A mobile phone power monitor that stores and streams.
Researchers use several tools to measure mobile phone power consumption, including: Monsoon's PowerMonitor, lab bench multimeters, and a rig attached to a USB data logger, which we used for the Bartendr project. We found these power monitors to be useful, but inadequate. We believe that a power monitor that will be adopted by the wider mobile phone research community must do the following:
- Connect to the phone and battery easily.
- Store power measurements while mobile.
- Stream power measurements while stationary.
- Collect hundreds of samples a second.
With these criteria in mind, we designed BattOr, an open source, portable power monitor for mobile phones.
