- You Reply: Any update on this?
- You Reply: Thanks for the link. I've tried this and got the same results. Even after:Code: Select allpower consumption is 40mA. Entering ESP.deepsleep() after this:
lora.sleep(); // Enter low power consumptionCode: Select alluses 2mA, instead of 11uA.lora.sleep(); // Enter low power consumption ESP.deepsleep(10 * 1000000) // 10s deep sleep
(The advertised consumption is 10uA for the firebeetle ESP32 and "<1uA in sleep mode" for the lora board, so I expected about 11uA.)
How can I achieve the advertised consumption? Can you confirm you have tested the consumption yourself? - You Reply: Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the initial problem. To restate:
[*]Running the example code on the board alone (no shield) consumes 10uA. This is good.
[*]Running the example code on the board with LoRa shield attached consumes 2mA. This is bad!
The LoRa board appears to consume power in deep_sleep even when never used (i.e. no lora.init()).
The example code (as per your reference) as used:Code: Select allvoid setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once: pinMode(D9,OUTPUT); digitalWrite(D9,HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(D9,LOW); ESP.deepSleep(5000000); // *** Firebettle consumes 10uA alone, or 2mA with a LoRa shield } void loop() { // put your main code here, to run repeatedly: }
