MicroPython • Re: How do you get a Pico W to sleep?

gmx here are some measurements running micropython 1.23.0 on a PICO W.

Code:

Initial startup    19.47 milliampsturn LED  on       33.32 milliampsturn LED  off      31.52 milliampsde-assert GPIO23   19.72 milliamps

Thanks !

So it's about 12mA (at USB port, presumably 5V) for the module to start (just for controlling the LED), without any WiFi init.
That makes sense for it havint 2xM3/4 cores (one for Wifi, one for BT).

I can test only on original Pico 2W (RP2350A).
