Deep Sleep

PostPosted: Thu Apr 18, 2019 5:35 pm

Hi,

I am trying to use Deep Sleep on my Wemos D1 Mini in order to be able to use it with batteries. I found many sources online that say the same thing pretty much:
1. Connect D0 and RST with a jumper wire
2. Use the following code:
ESP.deepSleep(5000000);
delay(100);

I have done this exactly. When I run the code, it seems the board does go to sleep for 5s in my case, and wakes up once. It does not wake up after one cycle. Also, I get jibberish on my Serial monitor when it wakes up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If it helps, here is my code:

Code: Select all#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>
#include "DHT.h"
#include <SimpleTimer.h>
#define DHTTYPE DHT11
#define dht_dpin D6
DHT dht(dht_dpin, DHTTYPE);
SimpleTimer timer;
char auth[] = "xxxx";
char ssid[] = "xxxx";
char pass[] = "xxxx";
float t;
float h;

void setup()
{
    Serial.begin(9600);
    pinMode(D0, OUTPUT);
    Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
    dht.begin();
    //timer.setInterval(2000, sendUptime);
}

void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
  //timer.run();

  float h = dht.readHumidity();
  float t = dht.readTemperature();

   // Check if any reads failed and exit early (to try again).
  if (isnan(h) || isnan(t)) {
    Serial.println("Failed to read from DHT sensor!");
    return;
  }
  Serial.print("Current humidity = ");
  Serial.print(h);
  Serial.print("%  ");
  Serial.print("temperature = ");
  Serial.print(t);
  Blynk.virtualWrite(V0, t);
  Blynk.virtualWrite(V1, h);

  ESP.deepSleep(5000000);
  delay(100);
 
}

void sendUptime()
{
 
}

If you had only read the other threads on this forum thoroughly, you would know that your "gibberish" is readable with 74880 baud.
And you'd have allthough found a recent post where same situation was most likely encountered on a considdered defective Wemos clone.
