I dont get 1.4ma #12

Closed SaitamaTechno closed 2 months ago

SaitamaTechno commented 11 months ago

I use picosleep and I get 6.6ma. It 3x reduced the power usage but it is not like 1.4ma. Here is my code:

import picosleep

f=open("deepsleep.txt","w") f.write("no") f.close()

picosleep.seconds(2592000) # 1 month

Maybe you have other stuff running besides the rp2040?

SaitamaTechno commented 9 months ago

Yes I have a wired gyro sensor and a touch screen but I dont send them any data or receive, Why is this consumption so high? Is it normal?

elschopi commented 2 months ago

even if not sending or receiving data, your peripherals will consume standby current, just like the pico. some chips (e.g. BME280 temperature sensing IC's) can be put into a standby mode via software command, maybe you can reduce the standby consumption of your peripherals that way. the 1.4 mA is just for the pico with nothing else attached.

@elschopi I got it thank you!
