sleep() [ Sleep ]

STOP (SystemSleepMode)

SystemSleepMode::STOP, STOP, SystemSleepMode.STOP

// EXAMPLE
SystemSleepConfiguration config;
config.mode(SystemSleepMode::STOP)
      .gpio(WKP, RISING)
      .duration(15min);
System.sleep(config);

// EXAMPLE
SystemSleepConfiguration config;
config.mode(SystemSleepMode::STOP)
      .network(NETWORK_INTERFACE_CELLULAR)
      .flag(SystemSleepFlag::WAIT_CLOUD)
      .duration(15min);

The SystemSleepMode::STOP mode is the same as the classic stop sleep mode (pin or pin + time).

  • Real-time clock (RTC) is kept running.
  • Network is optionally kept running for cellular, similar to SLEEP_NETWORK_STANDBY.
  • On the Argon, network can optionally be kept running for Wi-Fi.
  • BLE is kept on if used as a wake-up source (Gen 3 devices only).
  • UART, ADC are only kept on if used as a wake-up source.
  • GPIO are kept on; OUTPUT pins retain their HIGH or LOW voltage level during sleep.
  • Can wake from: Time, GPIO, analog, serial, and cellular. On Gen 3 also BLE and Wi-Fi.
  • At least one wake source must be specified in STOP sleep mode.
  • On wake, execution continues after the the System.sleep() command with all local and global variables intact.

Cellular Devices (B-Series SoM, Tracker SoM, Tracker One, Boron, E404X, E-Series, and Electron):

  • On cellular devices, wake-on network can be enabled in STOP mode. This is recommended for any sleep duration of less than 10 minutes as it keeps the modem active while in sleep mode.

  • You should avoid powering off and on the cellular modem in periods of less than 10 minutes. Since the cellular modem needs to reconnect to the cellular network on wake, your mobile carrier may ban your SIM card from the network for aggressive reconnection if you reconnect more than approximately 6 times per hour.
