power efficiency on other boards

I have a question about the deep sleep and low power modes. Is it something specific to the Espruino Board? Or is it more like a firmware feature and should work with all compatible boards?

It's just on the Espruino board at the moment. There's no real reason why it can't work on other (especially F103) boards but I'm not putting the effort into checking it or enabling it because it'll just be a support nightmare.

Add to this the fact that a lot of other boards use voltage regulators that themselves draw a lot of current (a few milliamps) and the power savings on those boards won't be huge.

That makes sense, thank you.

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.
