TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Power consumption in various sleep modes
« on: October 01, 2014, 02:24:23 AM »
I was wondering if anyone had documented the power consumption of the TinyDuino in the various power saving modes?
I have a project where low power consumption is key. The programming I have now on a Pro Micro wakes up when a ball switch shorts pin 3 to ground. A couple of LED blinks when the arduino is activated. THe Pro Micro monitors a capacitance sensor (sparkfun breakout board) and a Hall sensor. When conditions are met the Arduino goes back to sleep until the next time. currently I am using SLEEP_MODE_PWR_DOWN
