g day dear friends
well for my winter project i I'm looking to put my Pico W in to a low power state.
i am currently doing a dive into Battery-Powered Raspberry Pi Projects.
And yes: taking Raspberry Pi projects off the grid and making them portable is opening quiet a world of possibilities, like outdoor environmental monitoring systems which i love. Well using batteries as a power source is key to this mobility, but for me i think it requires careful consideration and planning.
well i plan to work with a Pico W: some considerations: Well powering the Pico W from a LiPo Battery bank and in an effort to conserve power i think we need to power off the WiFi or at least get it to draw less power. Is this possible with the SDK and MicroPython?
what can we do with the setup of the power management - Can we do some thing regards lower power state.
Well - as i am planing a project with the PicoW - i think i have to take care for the "W"- aspect.
General "powering down" will have some nice effects: but unfortunately i think that i have to do more: about a powering off the Pico W's WiFi, that what I need to do.
my assumption is: getting the RP2040 to a low power state is easy however the WiFi is still at peek drawing 150mA
I need to find the solution at least enough of one to trick the power into powering down.
any ideas!?
have a great weekend
