- Sun Nov 15, 2015 10:42 pm #34146 Been thinking about doing some thing like this. As i understand it right now a sleep is possible but there are some pit falls. Will have to investigate and see if its some thing that could be done with the basic interpreter.

syntax:

Code: Select allsleep {value or var in seconds}

example:

Code: Select allsleep 600

Will put device to sleep for a number of seconds.

Things to note. Sleep mode will cause a full reboot of the device. It will start the device and run the default program from the beginning. It takes 30 seconds before the device starts the default program after reboot.

GPIO16 needs to be tied to RST to wake from Sleep.



Will have to look in to saving the full state of the basic program prior to sleep. That way sleep mode could be like a delay.
