Measure battery life of the clickers #48

Description

Once pull request #34 is merged, it would be good to have better measurements of the battery life of the clickers in different scenarios.

  • scenario 1:
    PIC32 is executing an infinite while loop. The current consumption is expected to be 22mA, hence the battery life should lie between five days to one week.

  • scenario 2:
    PIC32 is constantly sending data over 6LoWPAN to a Ci40. The current consumption is expected to be in range 75-95mA.

The 3.3V pin and GND pin should be connected to the Ci40. The Ci40 runs a program to measure how long the 3.3V pin is high. This can be done quite easily using gpio_monitor of LetMeCreate.
