8mA in deep sleep?
Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2018 5:10 amHi everybody,
I've bought a no name board (compatible to Wemos D1 Mini) with an ESP-12F on top. Ok, I know I cannot expect high quality from a no name board but 8mA power consumption in deep sleep mode seems to be very unusual, as all other posts I can find mention something below 1mA, even the worst board.
I just connect the board to the 5V connector with 4 AA batteries, or with a regulated power supply to the 3.3V and measure the consumption. In my software I call ESP.deepSleep(10 * 60 * 1000000); and commented everything else out. Is it possible that my board is that worse? Or do I have to select another board type in the Arduino IDE?
Thx and best regards.
