Power Save
This library allows users to save power. The microcontroller operates based on a clock signal. It operates faster when the frequency of the clock is high, but that causes high consumption. For example, in the case of using dry-cell, the system turns off earlier. An efficient way to operate longer would be to stop the clock or make the clock slower. For example, when you measure the temperature every 1 minute, you stop the clock every time.
setPowerManagementMode
Description
Specifies power management mode.
Syntax
setPowerManagementMode(mode)
setPowerManagementMode(mode, lower, upper)Parameters
mode:
PM_NORMAL_MODE(Normal Mode)
PM_STOP_MODE(Enter to stop mode when delay() function is called)
PM_SNOOZE_MODE(Enter to snooze mode analogRead() function is called
lower: 0 to 1023 (low side of the AD conversion range, lower 2 bits are ignored.)
upper: 0～1023 (high side of the AD conversion range, lower 2 bits are ignored.)Returns
None
getPowerManagementMode
Description
Checks the current power management mode.
Syntax
unsigned char getPowerManagementMode()
Parameters
None
Returns
PM_NORMAL_MODE, PM_STOP_MODE, PM_SNOOZE_MODE
setOperationClockMode
Description
Sets the operation clock of the CPU and peripherals
Syntax
setOperationClockMode(unsigned char mode)
Parameters
mode:
CLK_HIGH_SPEED_MODE(high speed, 32MHz)
CLK_LOW_SPEED_MODE（low speed, 32.768kHz)Returns
None
Remark
When you set STOP/SNOOZE mode, do not select the CLK_LOW_SPEED_MODE, as that operation is ignored.
getOperationClockMode
Description
Checks the current clock mode.
Syntax
unsigned char getOperationClockMode()
Parameters
None
Returns
CLK_HIGH_SPEED_MODE, CLK_LOW_SPEED_MODE
Example
This example uses SNOOZE mode. A0 is output when A0 becomes 500 to 1023.
#include <Arduino.h>
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
setPowerManagementMode(PM_SNOOZE_MODE, 0, 100);
}
void loop()
{
int value = analogRead(A2);
Serial.println(value);
Serial.flush();
delay(100);
}
