1. Thank you!
First, I would like to say wow you are amazing. Thank you for all of your work.
2. Goal
Low power as possible. The device will not be easily available to Re-charge.
Basically, report and go back to sleep asap. Disable the screen and LEDs etc.
3. Problem
The screen does not turn off. Its always on "Joined" or "GPS Searching" Screen. I will likely remove it but would be nice to make the feature work.
Any low power suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.
