This is not the solution chosen here, it’s perhaps something that can be looked at in the future.
#DEEPSLEEP PROMO CODE PORTABLE#
Solution 1 would most likely be the most portable as nothing needs to be recompiled. We can extend Micropython directly to support deep sleeping.We could attempt to write an importable external C module as described here.
As tomjorquera has demonstrated, we can try to work out what register calls must be made on the Pico to replicate the calls the pico-extras library is making from within C in order to get everything ready to sleep and wake from the RTC.There are perhaps 3 ways we can get this to work via Micropython. The current draw was measured during sleep mode and was found to be around 7.6mA, which whilst better than Micropython’s deep sleep is still much more than the the 1.3mA of the sleep mode when used via C. exit_and_deep_sleep_until_alarms(time_alarm) value = False # Set an alarm for 60 seconds from now. This draws around 1.3mA.Īs discussed in this reply, Circuitpython, an alternative to Micropython does appear to support waking from the RTC. We ask the Pico to sleep and then awake again after some time has past. The simplest method however is to make use of the internal real time clock as demonstrated, as no external modules are required. If you have an DS3231 handy it’s certainly a good option and is the lowest sleep state available drawing 0.8mA. Unfortunately you need an external trigger as described here to bring your Pico back out of deep sleep. Dormant Sleep mode on the PicoĪfter a quick look around for a solution, it appears tomjorquera has done the hard work already and has been able to demonstrate how the dormant mode can be utilized from within Micropython. The power consumption was measured during this sleep state and unfortunately on the Pico it still pulls 25.6mA (at least on the board used and with the ambient conditions for this particular test).

If you have uploaded your Python main script file as main.py, the board will restart after sleeping and once again begin executing your code, until it sleeps once more (if that code path is triggered). Which means that with a single command, epsleep they must be able to implement similar behavior across a wide number of boards.Ĭurrently when epsleep is utilized on the Pico, the board sleeps and will then reset. The precise behaviour and power-saving capabilities of lightsleep and deepsleep is highly dependent on the underlying hardware As mentioned above, Micropython supports a variety of board types: Micropython does support a deepsleep state. As mentioned previously, the Pico has two sleep modes, known as dormant and sleep, read more about these in the previous post which includes links to the official docs.
#DEEPSLEEP PROMO CODE HOW TO#
This leads us onto this issue raised a few weeks ago around how to use deep sleep with Micropython. An example of how to do this with Micropython can be seen here. Python and hence Micropython does have a performance drawback as a result of it being an interpreted language when compared to C, however it’s possible to extend Python (and Micropython) with natively compiled C modules for critical paths of your code which can be imported as regular Python modules. Micropython itself can be used on numerous boards as a result of its support of a number of ARM based architectures (perhaps one slight downside as we will come to later). It’s very easy to get started with, especially when using Thonny, allowing you to run commands via the REPL, or by uploading files onto the board to be ran on boot-up. This makes sense as today Python is the first programming language many will encounter, it’s widely used and has a huge library of modules available to leverage. Whilst the first approached used C, Micropython however is heavily promoted by many of the getting started guides you will find for the Pico such as this one found here. Here we will discuss a solution to allow the same technique to be used with Micropython.

The first post of this series discussed how you can put your pico into a deep sleep state and wake it at some point later using the internal real time clock, using the c programming language. Deep sleeping the Raspberry Pico with Micropython
