Solar sensor node state of things (see ESP32 sleep thread)

Kept going after /progrider/t/0ve0JwhGsLJ0

  • bare C3 module now, 6uA asleep, I measured properly this time!
  • 18650, 1W panel, CN3791 charge board
  • wakes every 10 min, sends over ESP-NOW to a base station. Way less airtime than wifi+mqtt
  • on the shed roof for a couple of weeks now, voltage low point 3.5V

NOT done: enclosure leaks at the cable gland, no OTA, base station is a dev board taped to a shelf.

Good numbers. Told you to come back with them! What do you see for wake time with ESP-NOW?

About 90ms awake total. Wifi and mqtt was like 2 seconds. Massive difference!!
