To help do make #6 work - we need to make the gardenmesh nodes a little more efficient.

@gcgallo - what are the requirements for this?

Got deep sleep mode working, but device starts transmitting junk data when the battery starts dying, need create some way of checking battery level and have it stop trying to transmit at a certain level. Could be part of battery protection referenced in #11 ?
