- Tue Dec 15, 2015 11:19 pm #36543 I tried playing with the second argument of "node.dsleep(us, option)" using values 1 and 2. While this is a nodemcu-firmware function, the "option" is just passed through to "deep_sleep_set_option()".

I could not see any change in wakeup time or current peaks (or total). This is on an esp-12.

What should I expect to see? The doco vaguely says:

2 : No RF calibration after deep-sleep wake up; this reduces the current consumption.

The bug that was present was that the RTC memory was not being preserved through boot ups.

What you describe looks like the option to turn the RF altogether (option=4). I am asking specifically about just turning off the calibration (option=2).

Are you suggesting that only turning off the calibration drops the module into 20mA consumption?
