How to use deep sleep in a loop!!!

[Jacobcullen]

Hi all,

I have a LoPy4 with a pytrack.
I have a loop that essentially looks like this:

init_timer = time.time()
while True:
    final_timer = time.time()
    diff = final_timer - init_timer
        if diff > 300:
            do some stuff here
            init_timer = time.time()
I'd like to incorporate this:
machine.deepsleep(300*1000)

into the code to make it deep sleep while it's waiting for those 5 minutes but it doesn't seem to be working.
Can anyone help with this?

@Jacobcullen deep sleep will reset the board and it will start again at the top of boot.py and main.py. No need for a loop, but you need to find a way to save any variables / state as all python state will be reset.
