Hi,
Been dooing my first real arduino project and I reached a standstill: To save power, I implemented a sleep mode, but I'm using 14 to 17 mA awake and up to 50 mA in sleep mode!! I've tried every thing I can think of, but can't figure why this is happening. All I know is that this sleep mode code saves power in a test sketch with nothing else, but when I implement it on my sketch, it totally fails and uses up even more power.
Please, help!
Here's my code:
(The Sleep Mode code is in bold)
#include <avr/sleep.h>
#include <avr/wdt.h>
#include <MenuBackend.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <EEPROM.h>
#include "RTClib.h"
#define lenght 16.0
