I am measuring about 3 uA in sleep mode using the 1/2 AA board.
When I tried 3 Capsules I can’t get the power in sleep mode down below 1mA or so.
I turned off the RGB and I am using Sleep and Radio Off.
I there something different I need to add for the Capsule Program?
Thanks
Here is the code I am running on both.
