Energy Harvesting applications make you try to push your system to the limits, and using EnergyMode4 is the lowest limit! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the energy modes demo I had only seen that it would just sit in EM4, and never wake up again unless you&amp;#39;d press reset. I hadn&amp;#39;t realized that the BURTC could also wake up from EM4. That could be a nice feature for my project as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Looking at your current graphs, I see a lot of current consumption on wakeup and going to sleep. What is the cause of that? Since your application has very long resting times you might want to take a look at the effect lowering the clock speed. Although you&amp;#39;re going to spend longer calculating stuff, you&amp;#39;ll be using less energy while calculating.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=16070&amp;AppID=106&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
