Power saving with new machine.deepsleep functions !

[Jan Burkhardt]

Hey Folks,

yesterday i tried to use the new "improved" deepsleep functions. I used the function like this:

.... some code....
machine.deepsleep(60000)

after this line the led / wlan shuts off and the current drops to 13mA.
After 1min. the board resets and run the .main() still again!
But .... ??? shouldn't the current drops down to some µA ??

One Hint:
The Documentation may contains an syntax error!
As described:
machine.deepsleep([60000])
As it works:
machine.deepsleep(60000)

regards

@Jan-Burkhardt said in Power saving with new machine.deepsleep functions !:

machine.deepsleep([60000])

In documentation brackets [] show optional arguments
you can run

machine.deepsleep()

or

machine.deepsleep(60000)

But remember that first is currently not wake up able
We must wait for pin wakeup support

And about 13 mA - it is already know by @daniel and he say that it is under investiagtion.
