Hello
I would like to use the ADC Noise Reduction mode on a project, has anyone tried to do this? Is it possible? The idea is to make a low power remote data logger for home automation. If i understand correctly the ADC can be acquiring data at a very low power. I can then wake up the micro fully and send data out wireless my wireless module. I will be using the Arduino pro mini 3.3v 8MHz platform.
Thanks

Actually I was thinking about my project, I could just put it to sleep as well. But I need to wake up on a timer interrupt. Has anybody ported some sleep functions that can do this?

For both of these you could definitely create a custom library. Refer to the user manual section "Porting and Arduino Library to LabVIEW" on how to do this. I recall someone on this forum talking about a sleep function library. Not sure if someone else has something that might work for you. By default the included sleep API will only wake on an external pin interrupt. For a timer interrupt wake you have to set the mode to Sleep Idle I believe to keep the clock running.

I've ported the powerDown sleep mode from the LowPower library and used in in a number of projects successfully. Should be easy enough to port the other sleep functions if powerDown doesn't cut it. powerDown includes some time based wakeup options.

Here's another version with most of the additional sleep functions ported. I didn't port the idle functions which let you selectively turn off various peripherals. Also, the compilation was throwing some error regarding the usart3 functions and I didn't have time to look into it, so I commented out the two related lines in the cpp file. Haven't tested any of the new functions on hardware, but it's a straightforward port.
