#36454 Hi everyone,
i read a lot of topic on this forum and on the web about deepsleep. Especially, the current used during deepsleep: about 0.1mA or less.

I try a lot of configuration on ESP07 and ESP12 but the lowest current consumed is 3mA.

Here is my final configuration:
GPIO 0, GPIO 2, CH_PD pulled up
GPIO15 pulled down
RST connected to GPIO16
the pull resistor are about 5k ohm

The Supply is either FTDI USB or a laboratory DC supply (same results)

About the firmware:
- I tried Arduino IDE to upload an example sketche without succes: the both modules reboot indefinitely (i think i have a misconfiguration with the arduino IDE)
- I tried a AT firmware 0.92 and 1.1.1 with AT command "AT+GSLP=1000" but they returned me "error"
- I tried a lua script with deepsleep: succesfully reboot after x second but consumed 3mA during deepsleep

What is the error in my approach?
Thank you for your comments and help
