Guoping,

The Pionner Kit comes with an example displaying the low power mode features. It takes an input from SW2 and lights up the LED. After one second it returns to lower power mode. Have a look at that example. It is included as part of the kit installer. It sounds like it fits more into what you were looking for in your post.

You can download the 17mb file at the bottom of the page to again access to the example projects shipped with the kit. It's the example called 'Deep Sleep'.

Also check out our Memory LED example that allows for a user input on the SW2 button to mix colors on the RGB LED.

The rest of the examples are included on the 100 projects in 100 days sticky post.

When you start debugging, the button is replaced with a green triangle, which you can use to start execution. You can also press F5. There is a pause button, too, and it looks like a VCR pause button (two vertical lines). Might be giving away my age there. Oh well.

The reason your program always runs is that it is programmed into flash memory. If you apply power to the board, the program will run. It's quite cool once you get used to it. Another interesting thing you'll see with devices like this is that the hardware always runs, even if you stop the program in the debugger.

Happy debugging!
