Add low power mode at idle and periodic wake up #23

Open dzid26 opened 10 months ago

v0.2 hardware can achieve low power consumption by turning off the angle sensor and putting CPU and CAN to sleep.

Periodically waking up every e.g. 0.5s for tiny amount of time provide angle change detection.

This allows to keep track of absolute position of the actuator output all the time.
