![]() ![]() I only get down to about 17mA current draw during Deep Sleep with my D1 Mini due to the horrid linear regulator used on this cheap clone board plus the CH340 UART USB chip. ![]() I'm awake, but I'm going into deep sleep for 5 seconds I'm not asleep?!? ") // it will never get hereĮts Jan 8 2013,rst cause:2, boot mode:(3,6) println( "I'm awake, but I'm going into deep sleep for 5 seconds ") void setup() // Wait for serial to initialize (wasn't needed) // You'll need to ground GPIO0 (D3) and press the RESET switch to upload again after // this is running or the serial won't connect 'cos it's almost always ASLEEP. Deep sleep test for 5 seconds (5E6 microseconds) - the ESP8266 wakes up by itself if // GPIO16 (D0) is connected to the RESET pin or you press the RESET switch / ground RST. put your main code here, to run repeatedly: It sleeps because it doesnt print the deepsleep not working message but when its waking up, the led flashes once and nothing happens Copy the code given below in that file and save it.Im trying a simple deepsleep sketch to use it in one of my projects but when the deepsleep ends, the led flashes once and nothing happens. Open your Arduino IDE and go to File > New to open a new file. After that, it will again wake up and execute the same code. It will remain in deep sleep for 60 seconds. The ESP8266 will remain in the active mode for 60 seconds and after that time is over, the ESP8266 will be back in deep sleep mode. We are going to show you a simple demonstration of how to use a timer to wake up the ESP8266 module. The deepSleep() function has a single argument that denotes the sleeping time in microseconds. We will use the deepSleep() function which is available in the Arduino IDE. The figure below shows the connection between the two pins.Ĭonnection of GPIO16 (D0) with RST How to use the Timer Wake Up in ESP8266 using Arduino IDE This in return causes the development board to awaken. ![]() When we configure a deep sleep timer with a timer wake up in ESP8266, the GPIO16 goes to a LOW state whenever the predefined time is finished. This is achieved by connecting it to GPIO16. So in order to wake up the module, the RST pin should be in a LOW state. When the module is powered ON, the RST pin is in a HIGH state but when its state goes to LOW, the board restarts. We have to make sure that the GPIO16 (D0) of the ESP8266 NodeMCU board is connected with the RST pin.įor ESP8266 NodeMCU, GPIO16 has a ‘wake’ feature attached to it. If it is not followed then it will not wake up. However, when using ESP8266 there is an important step that needs to be done in order to wake up the module. We will use ESP.deepSleep(uS) to put the ESP8266 board to deep sleep for a set amount of time. We put the board in deep sleep mode for a specified amount of microseconds. We have to set a predefined amount of time, after it is over, the built-in timer wakes up the chip. The real-time controller (RTC) has a built-in timer. After activating the deep sleep mode, there are several ways through which the NodeMCU board can be woken up such as: Now we will look at ways to wake up our ESP8266 board. In this section, we will see how to put ESP8266 NodeMCU in a deep sleep mode using Arduino IDE. Configuring ESP8266 Deep Sleep with Arduino IDE But still, it is less than the normal operating current of the board. But when the chip is used with a development board such as NodeMCU, it consumes more current than 20uA due to other onboard components. In deep sleep mode, an ESP8266 chip only consumes 20uA current. Through the crystal oscillator in the module, the RTC keeps track of time. Only the Real time clock (RTC) consumes power during the deep sleep mode and everything else is powered off. In the later section of the tutorial, we will see how RTC is useful to wake up ESP8266 NodeMCU from a deep sleep cycle. That means all peripherals and units are in an off state except the RTC module which is used to keep track of time. When a module is in deep sleep mode, the system clock to all peripherals is disabled except RTC (real-time clock) module. In order to reduce power consumption significantly, we can put the ESP8266 module into deep sleep mode. ![]()
