It depends what you mean by low power. What is your definition of low power?
The WiFi enabled chips I mentioned have low power modes where you can wake up either periodically or based on an interrupt , with most of the chip turned off in the meantime. I'd have to read the docs to know about power usage in different modes. The RTL8710 claims 30 mA...
- swiley 10y agoWith good programming you can get many 8bit microcontrollers into the micro and nano amp range.
- patrickg_zill 10y agoSleeping for 60 seconds, waking up, then sleeping again gets the RTL chip at least, into about 0.3 average milliamps. The 8195 is very similar to the 8710 https://www.amebaiot.com/en/ameba-arduino-power-management/ https://www.amebaiot.com/en/ameba-arduino-power-management/
- lima 10y agoYes, but that still doesn't give you years in battery life as with LoRa.
