- Sat Apr 25, 2015 11:42 am #15616 My understanding is that, to wake from deep sleep with radio enabled, node.dsleep mode 1 should be used. What if deep sleep mode 4 was used and, during wake, the radio is to be switched on? That is, is that a forceful way to switch on the radio?

Actually, what is the difference between deep sleep modes 2 and 4?

Thanks

- Fri May 29, 2015 3:59 pm #18897 I'm also wondering about this. Did you figure anything out?

We're talking about the state where we're waking up after deep sleep with WAKE_RF_DISABLED. Radio is off, running at ~15mA.

ESP.deepSleep(10*1000000, WAKE_RF_DISABLED);

A possible workaround would be to check the status of the radio and just doing a soft reset if the radio is off. I have no idea on how to do that though.
