Hi all,

I'm trying to get an Anarduino Mini to sleep to prolong battery life. I'm using this code in a function called by loop(), which I put together based on an article at arduino.cc:

The chip seems to go to sleep until pin 2 goes LOW, as desired. However, my multimeter says the anarduino is drawing 50mA in sleep, and closer to 60 when awake and playing a short tune on an attached speaker. Both these numbers seem high.

I've tried a number of other sleep code examples online with no luck. Do I need to do something different with the anarduino to get low current draw during sleep?

Thanks,

Nick

No radio on the board? It has to be configured to sleep.

No, no radio on board. I'll keep that in mind though for when I add the RFM73.

FYI, it was a damaged board. On further testing A few pins were acting funny on that board, so I soldered pins onto a new one, and current draw in sleep is in the uA range.

Be sure that Tx and Rx are not connected. To get sub microamps sleep current I'm using FETs to disconnect serial port in my project. Otherwise current drain through serial port is in mA range.

First class Society Kota Escorts We at Elite Society Kota see the need to instruct our customers about adoration, relationship and closeness. We simply were not instructed about this basic subject, Love. Parent hasn't done it, the school hasn't done it, so we feel committed to change recognition or possibly give some direction to the individuals who look for it. We continue rehashing that adoration and extraordinary sexual coexistence don't go together inseparably.
