During full operation with the stepper motor turning some 320 mA are drawn from the battery. Measurements performed to the operational system show that during Deep sleep there is (still) a power consumption of 7 mA. The driving lines to the stepper motor are switched low after the stepper motor has done its job. For instance, the system is put into a “deep sleep” mode with only the built-in real-time clock (RTC) working. Since the system is powered by a solar panel, provisions have been made to save on battery energy.
