at 18ma the batteries won't last long (16 days using C batteries) at 20ma
Need a way to reduce idle current draw.
with the amp connected the circuit draws 70ma when triggered
19ma idle
SLEEP is not in swordfish help file?
in the tip n tricks from Microchip it mentions the WDT but ??
I was hopeing that disconnecting the amp would help but it still draws 18ma
the voltage regulator is a 2940 LDO 5v+ .
any suggestions
this particular circuit is going to be powered by 6 C cells
Using 6 C cells, to caculate AH ratting do you multiply the battery numbers so instead of 8000mah the battery pak is good for 48000mah? or 100 days
