This leaves the red led on...

function onInit () {
  setDeepSleep(1);
  setBusyIndicator(LED1);
  setSleepIndicator(LED3);
}

when obviously it can't be busy...

You're probably connected by USB? The device doesn't bother going to sleep when it's on USB because it knows power consumption isn't a big deal.

Also, does the LED go off when you connect with the Web IDE? What can happen is the software ends up waiting to send characters over USB (even if it's only Loading xyz bytes from flash... Running onInit().... When the IDE or a terminal is connected then they can drain and the device can return to sleep.

Ok, I just did some tests and it seems that's not actually what happens (at least not in this case).

After first boot the LED gets set into the wrong state for some reason. I've just added something to fix it.

I'm running it from a wall charger, no USB comms!

Gordon for president! Thanks. The next fw is going to be 2.0?

Yes. We're long due a release but there are one or two things I want to get sorted first.

I think I've seen already a reference to fw 2v00 somewhere in the docs :-)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
