How to put the camera into deep sleep mode or even turn off? #557

Open ASabovic opened 2 years ago

Hello,

I am using the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense board together with OV2640 Mini 2MP Plus where I am testing the person detection model. I am trying to put the camera into deep sleep state (my board consumes ~300 microAmpere in sleep state) or even turn it off between 2 camera tasks. I tried with the transistor (mosfet) but I am still not able to get this value when I do not need to use the camera. Even with the mosfet, the consumption is still around 11mA. Do you maybe know how can I completely turn off the camera/or put it into the same sleep state as my board is, in order to save energy? Thanks in advance!
