[SOLVED] Sleep dont run

mar.conte

@gohan
one example to set node id in motion sketch?

mar.conte

RESOLVED

I HAVE JUST ONE GATEWAY CONFIGURED WITH RFM69 ON BOARD, THEN I HAVE CONNECTED TO NODE ID MCU WITH PIR AND EVERYTHING WORKS, WHEN THE PIR IS HIGH CURRENT CONSUMED is 2.25 MAH, WHEN IN SLEEP MODE ONLY 30 microamps.
THANKS TO ALL THAT I HAVE HELPED

TANKS VERY VERY VERY TO ALL

Yveaux

@mar.conte Great to hear you nailed it!
For others to learn: what did you change to make things work?

gohan

@Yveaux I think he added the gateway as he wasn't using one

mar.conte

@gohan
Yes of course, add gateway and the loop end , the node attachinterrupt with pir go to sleep when gateway receive
Tanks

torfinn

Hi ! Just wanted to add that this also solved it for me. I had problem with properly registering on the gateway ( due to chips was used on old version earlier ). After finding this post I tried the https://www.mysensors.org/build/debug#clearing-eeprom and it fixed problem. Looking at 40uA sleeping now :-)

AWI

@Yveaux said in [SOLVED] Sleep dont run:

"For indefinite sleeping, only level IRQ triggers are permitted (see AVR datasheet)."

Thanks @Yveaux I thought I was losing it...:relaxed: Tried different options:
sleep(INTERRUPT1, LOW, 0 ); // sleep and wait for motion :+1:
sleep(INTERRUPT1, LOW, 5000 ); // sleep and wait for 5 secs :+1:
sleep(INTERRUPT1, CHANGE, 0 ); // sleep and wait for motion :-1:
but for the last op tion @mar-conte reported succes :confused: how come?

My understanding is:

deep sleep: only LOW
timed sleep: LOW, CHANGE, RISING, FALLING
or...?

mar.conte

Hello everyone, I do not understand why ATmega328 powered with an Arduino board without MCU with 3v3 volts when ba consumes 30 microamps in sleep imvece atmega if the power is two batteries 1,5 knows when he goes to sleep consumes 420 microamps, I'm not understanding nothing seemed that just consumed my project with pir and ATMEga

AWI

@mar.conte I'm sorry but can you try to rephrase your question?

mar.conte

Why the same configuration atmega+pir+rfm69 with ftdi power consumption is 30 microampere and with 2 1,5 AA is 420 microampere?

gohan

@mar.conte how did you made the measurements?

mar.conte

@gohan
one thing I did not say that I have changed the gateway before it was all right (30 microah) when the gateway
was a esp Olimex evb, now I
downloaded the same sketch "gateway" on
esp8266 nodemecu dev kit and the node consumes me 420 microah !!

AWI

@mar.conte My best guess is that your node does not really "sleep" but that you are measuring an average current from the node (refer to my question to @Yveaux ). The power consumption during a "sleep" cannot be related to the gateway as there is no communication.

Differences between two gateways during transmission are probably related to communication issues (i.e. resends of information).

You can test the behaviour by putting your node in a "timed sleep": sleep(5000) // sleep 5 seconds and check power consumption.

Yveaux

@mar.conte I wouldn't worry about sub mA power consumption of a gateway, as it isn't supposed to sleep at all.
Furthermore you shouldn't blindly compare usage of different boards, as there are more components (e.g. power regulator) that influence the total consumption.

AWI

@Yveaux I think @mar-conte is talking about the consumption of the (battery powered) node, not the gateway..

mar.conte

@AWI
Ok i try with sleep(5000) this afternoon,
One thing i dont say, the difference of consumption (30 micro or 420 micro) is if i power breadboard with atmega with arduino without mcu(usb 30micro); if I power same arduino mcu with jack 12 volt or I power breadboard with only 2 aa 1,5 the consumption is 420 micro

AWI

@mar.conte Just to be sure... only if you remove the Arduino/ atmega328p/ mcu (e.g. no processor) the rest of components take 30 uA? :confused:

Yveaux

@AWI I think I'll stop responding to this thread...
Too complicated for a simple guy like me :confused:

mar.conte

@AWI
Configuration hardware is: arduino without mcu (with usb power) wire(3,3,gnd,reset,txrx)betwin this and breadboard (atmega+pir+rfm69): consumption 30micro; the same configuration with no usb power but with jack 12 volt consumption 420 micro.
If i power breadboard without Arduino mculess but with 2 aa consumption 420 micro

Yveaux

This information is outdated. An error in the ATMega328P datasheet has been confirmed. See https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/6572/sleep-with-interrupt-only-works-with-level-low

@AWI Ok, last reply :simple_smile:

I'll have to dwell a little to explain how the AVR works and what its limitations are regarding sleeping, and how the MySensors library handles it.

For AVR architecture, the MySensors library uses the 'Power-Down mode' when sleeping.
I'll focus on ATMega328P here, for which the datasheet states the possible wake-up sources:

0_1490722068118_upload-b2cbd80d-2c88-4e52-8bae-c46adb341c4f

So in our case that's INT and WDT (TWI Address match is for i2c slave implementations).
When a timeout parameter is passed to a sleep() function of the MySensors library the watchdog (WDT) will be used to wake after the specified timeout. If timeout is set to 0 (and wake-up from interrupts is specified) the watchdog will be completely disabled to save some more power.
When an interrupt source is passed to a sleep() function of the library it will configure INT0 and/or INT1 to wake up the ATMega328.
Note point 3, as only level interrupts (more precise LOW in case of ATMega328, thanks @AWI for reminding me) can be used as a wake-up source.
Many posts here use RISING/FALLING/CHANGE as wake-up source for ATMega328 which is not supported by the ATMega328P and thus not supported by the MySensors library. Although people claim it is working for them you are on your own when using the chip out of spec and can expect strange behavior!

The datasheet continues in detail on the power-down mode:

0_1490721842267_upload-e4216667-02ab-4505-989f-e2b14c8edfaf

The MySensors library disables brown-out to save some power. Serial interface address match and pin change interrupt are not used by the library.
Pay special attention to the note: Waking the AVR from a INT0/INT1 interrupt will require the LOW level to remain for the startup-time, or the interrupt will not trigger. This means that only when the level is held long enough the library will be able to detect it woke from the external interrupt. If the level is not held at least the startup-time, it will assume it woke because of the total sleep time expired, and return MY_WAKE_UP_BY_TIMER (value -1).

This start-up time depends on the clock frequency and fuse bits, which for e.g. an 8MHz Arduino Pro Mini comes down to 2ms.

So just remember: In the MySensors library, only use LOW level interrupts to wake an ATMega328 from sleep and assure the interrupt level remains constant for at least the start-up time!

@AWI Your third example is out-of spec (CHANGE interrupt) and behavior is therefore undefined. If it seems to work, you're lucky...

This information is outdated. An error in the ATMega328P datasheet has been confirmed. See https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/6572/sleep-with-interrupt-only-works-with-level-low
