You can always use a multimeter to test power draw to verify the sleep mode while testing; also if installing a simple switch on the lipo is an option that might work too
Side note: in order to fully charge the RTC battery the OLA needs to be plugged into a power source for ~24 hours (USB or LiPo)…ensure it’s charged before fiddling with longer sleep modes
maybe, J2 is powered through D1 to USB 5V. Is this impossible to prevent?
automatic deep sleep
That’s right. I can only “stop logging”.
I’m using it for 100Hz communication, but is the only way to reduce current consumption by just “stop logging”?
Also, if “stop logging” fails and the host computer is terminated, is there a way for OLA to automatically lower its power consumption?
By the way, I use it a little differently, generating 4V from a big battery instead of a LiPo and connecting it. In addition, the host computer and other microcomputers are powered off while connected to 5V, but this will operate due to reverse current from 4V, and there are other issues such as wanting to reduce the power consumption of the OLA as much as possible.
