- Wed Dec 14, 2016 11:23 am #59498 Can anyone tell me what are the differences between the four deep sleep mode (WAKE_RF_DEFAULT, WAKE_RFCAL, WAKE_NO_RFCAL, WAKE_RF_DISABLED)?
Thanks!

-WAKE_RF_DEFAULT(aka deepsleepsetoption0): do or not do the radio calibration depending on the init byte 108.
-WAKE_RFCAL(aka deepsleepsetoption1): do the radio calibration every time.
-WAKE_NO_RFCAL(aka deepsleepsetoption2): do NOT the radio calibration on wake up.
-WAKE_RF_DISABLED(aka deepsleepsetoption3): on wake up DISABLE the modem. So for example I can't connect the esp to wifi.
Is it correct?

Other two question:
-What is the radio calibration, and what is the pro/cons of do the calibration every wake-up?
-How much current drain the calibration?

Thanks!

I have running ESP8266-12e with DHT22 and it is working well. I am using this code

  // You can send any value at any time.

  Blynk.virtualWrite(11, h); // virtual pin
}

void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
  timer.run();
}

I have 2 questions here:
1. where is the best to put ESP.deepSleep(300000000); to sleep ESP for 5 minutes?
2. what to do if I need to stop ESP deepSleep, e.g. I need to upload new code into it etc. Is it enough just disconnect RST and GPIO16 or something else. I want to know what are the steps before I use deepSleep in the code to avoid "brick" my ESP

Many thanks for your help
