Low-power for feather m0? #1

Open gymnae opened 5 years ago

gymnae commented 5 years ago

First of: Thank you very much for your code and tremendous work in your blog. Thanks to you, I got my Feather M0 with LoRa and GPS feather transmitting to ttn in less than a day.

Now my goal is to push this data to APRS.fi for mapping, but that is a different deal. I tried to get the lowpower version to work, but I encountered two errors:

#include "LowPower.h"

Requires to install the low-power library from rocketscream, correct? I did this, but it won't compile:

ttn_gps_tracker_lowpower.ino:270:16: error: 'class LowPowerClass' has no member named 'powerDown'
       LowPower.powerDown(SLEEP_8S, ADC_OFF, BOD_OFF);

Furthermore:

ttn_gps_tracker_lowpower.ino:274:11: error: 'cli' was not declared in this scope
       cli();
           ^
ttn_gps_tracker_lowpower.ino:276:11: error: 'sei' was not declared in this scope
       sei();
           ^

I take it this may be due to incompatibility with the M0 chip?

I might have missed your blog entry explaining how you implemented low power with this library. Cheers

The LowPower Library does not support powerDown on the M0. You can put the M0 into standby with LowPower.standby, but you have to use internal RTC for wakeup.
