deepsleep wifi bug?
-
I am having a strange issue with my GPY. I have a program that essentially is a data logger. The pycom wakes up takes a sensor reading then sends the data out via LTE or wifi based on switch connected to the input GPIO. I noticed on LTE the pycom will go to sleep and consume about 0.11mA which seems about right. But on wifi, the pycom will go to sleep and consume about 60mA which is quite high. Now what is interesting is that this does not always happen. I've gone ahead and even tested the pycom with only the VIN and GND wires attached to eliminate any other power draws.

@Bryan-Hom Didn't you find a problem with LTE.deinit() when using WiFi as you wrote in https://forum.pycom.io/topic/7570/mystery-power-draw-after-using-wifi-then-deepsleep ?

@jcaron didn't solve my issue. I did just discover my modem firmware isnt the latest so i've gone ahead and updated that, maybe that's the issue.

Update to my issue. So far a combination of modem firmware update (48829) and also reinitializing all of my used GPIO pins to floating inputs (this was a suggestion i found floating around on this forums) at the end of my program has seemed to resolve my deep sleep power consumption issues. Deep sleep hovers around 0.04mA
