Sleep mode/Read Vcc issue

[engy]

I'm not sure if it's related to DHT22, because sleep mode works fine when Vcc function is commented in the sketch.

Maybe you could try to move sendBatteryReport(); from loop to setup and see if it makes a difference if vcc is only called once.

I dont use vcc.h i use this code at the bottom of my sketch

long readVcc() {
Serial.println("readVcc");
// Read 1.1V reference against AVcc
ADMUX = _BV(REFS0) | _BV(MUX3) | _BV(MUX2) | _BV(MUX1);
delay(2); // Wait for Vref to settle
ADCSRA |= _BV(ADSC); // Convert
while (bit_is_set(ADCSRA,ADSC));
result = ADCL;
result |= ADCH<<8;
result = 1126400L / result; // Back-calculate AVcc in mV
//return result;
//gw.begin(incomingMessage,node_id, false)
batteryPcnt = (result - 3300) * 0.111111;
batteryVolt = result/1000.000;
gw.sendBatteryLevel(batteryPcnt);
gw.send(battMsg.set(batteryVolt, 3));
/*Serial.print("battery volt:");
Serial.println(batteryVolt, 3);
Serial.print("battery percent:");
Serial.println(batteryPcnt);
*/
}

how does you vcc.h look like

@flopp
You shouldn't need your own readVcc() code like that since you're including the Vcc library in the beginning of the sketch. Make sure you have the vcc-lib in your Arduino folder:

If you use the readVcc function in flopp's sketch, remove gw.begin(incomingMessage, NODE_ID, false);
Calling gw.begin several times seems strange.

@mfalkvidd
Sorry that line I don't use anymore. Code must be copied from an old sketch where I was using an LDO that I disabled and when power was back I have to run gw.begin again otherwise I could send anything.
I have now comment that row out.
Thanks for noticing

@m26872
I don't use vcc.h I like to have it in the bottom of the sketch.
Is it better to have it in a seperate file?
Except that it looks cleaner?

@engy: just a note: the sketch you posted has #include <Vcc.h>

You should either include Vcc.h OR include readVcc() in your sketch. Not both.

The problem was faulty NRF24... another batch :(
Just powered sensor in sleep mode is consuming as expected - a few uA.
But later, after while, power consumption is increasing.
Commenting Vcc was just coincidence.

Received new NRFs batch from mysensors shop, and all the problems gone.
Thanks!
