A guide to putting your Arduino to sleep

If you need to run your Arduino of a battery pack, you need to find a way to reduce it's power consumption. One of the the best ways to do this is putting your Arduino to sleep when it is not performing any tasks. This tutorial is a great place to start on learning how to put your Arduino to sleep.

It is clear, it is well done, very well explained. Made me realized that I need to invest into a mini instead of a nano, I reproduced this tutorial without any issue. Thank you so much for it, I think your video is worth thousands of views.

If you keep the jumper wire attached to the ground (LOW) over 5s the Arduino goes into a dead loop.
I would slightly modify the code so it'll put it to sleep only if pin 2 is HIGH
Example:
========================
if (digitalRead(2) != LOW)
{
Going_To_Sleep();
}
=========================

It works, thanks! Note that as of 2/25/2024, none of your downloads or blog sites are accessible. I copied your code from the screen.

Arduino NUBee here. Great start off video for sleep function, looking forward to the RTC interrupt and any other future. Very well done, followed and learned so much more than I expected. I plan to donate when I get through others!!! You are an excellent teacher, keep 'em coming

Best, most well explained video on the subject that I've seen on TH-cam that I've seen. Thank you very much! Subbed

On point and crystal clear explanation! Thanks a lot man!

Hi..This tutorial clear my doubt about sleep & wake up in smartphones

[@hobbymachinist]

Thanks its great explanation.

Hi, have you played with waking up the Arduino Uno from sleep using capacitive sensor setup as interrupt?

[@sall-toukai2050]

Excellent.

[@tomjoad1060]

Thank you for this video! I noticed that your blog is now working. Can you fix that?

[@anaselaymach8975]

Does sleep mode affect saved variables? for example if I had persons=5 before sleep is the program going to continues when the arduino wake up or it will initiate the variables ?

[@phwualoha1]

Can I use the on/off button to wake the Arduino? Any way to turn off the GREEN LED light while the Arduino is sleeping?

[@masoudshahbazi9691]

Perfect👏👏

[@phwualoha1]

I tried the interrupt pin and it worked. But if I keep the interrupt pin plugged in for more than 5 seconds and the system goes back to sleep. Then I unplug the pin and replug the pin and the system will not wake up. At least the LED will not come back on. Any idea please?

Anyone still got the code upload somewhere?
