- In this video I'll show you (without libraries) how to place the Arduino into a deep sleep state - we'll get this bad boy down to ~0.287uA running the bone stock ATMEGA328P-PU with the Arduino boot loader running at 16MHz with a 5V power supply. I'll show you how to wake up with a digital input (push button) and from an internal watch-dog timer.
Feel free to leverage my hard work :) take any snippets from the code here: www.kevindarrah.com/download/a...
Here's the datasheet for the ATMEGA328P-PU that I'm referring to: www.atmel.com/images/atmel-827...

Finding this video 7 years later is great. I've never ran a chip that low until now. I'm surprized your Keithley showed anything at all when most meters round down to zero when the next digit is below 5. I have a 38 year old Hioki multi meter I picked up at Goodwill for 5 bucks. It reads in increments of 10nA and I was finally able to confirm that it works and showed the same result as your bench meter. Thank you for sharing! I really need a meter like yours now.
Kevin this is amazing stuff. I am new ( 2 weeks) to Arduino and coding, and know I am going to watch this video over and over dozens of time to comprehend the scope of sleep mode. This is precisely what I am trying to implement into my project. Thank you for taking the time to prepare and research this tutorial. this is an amazing gift to the community. Many thanks.
I never thought too much about what else besides the sleep mode could further increase battery life much. Thanks for this awesome video! Also bonus points for not begging for likes and subs at the start, like so many other youtubers do. Keep it up!
This sort of tutorial was long overdue! Great tutorial, really well explained.
from datasheet to break board ,the perfect way to do it.Thanks for this Kevin.
Kevin, I must say, this is nothing less than amazing! I'm not sure how and where I will implement what I just "learned" but this video is top notch - thank you for a) taking the time to research these details and b) then make your findings available to your viewers. Most appreciated!
thanks! appreciate that!
Great video! Please keep up with this low power series, it's very helpful
+David Perna thanks, lots more to come!
Yes pls
Kevin Darrah I’m interested in making a small battery powered fish feeder for a beta fish. Something that utilizes a Mini Pro 3.3v, two double A’s, and one of those tiny digital camera stepper motors. Do you have any videos on getting the lowest possible power draw while still utilizing the internal clock? Watchdog would drift too much over the course of a month or so
@@DrMrSuperAwesomeGuy yes pls
Thanks a million Kevin! I was working on a project running a battery and just need to check a sensor every hour or so. There are no clear guides anywhere to what you have figured out. This tutorial has made my project really to the next level! I subscribed as well. Awsome job!!!
Thank you so much, I really like this, specially when you do that without external library.
I like the content! keep stuff like this coming, especially episodes like this, with a look into a technique or something, but no project. very nice videos
Really appreciate the way you make your videos, the speed of presentation, and the content you choose. One of my favourite channels.
As an idea for an extension video, I wondered about using a 555 timer with a really long repeat, hourly maybe, as the watchdog to interrupt and wake up a deep sleep arduino instead of a RTC.
This saved me what could have been a while going through the datasheet and testing various methods. Kudos!
thanks for taking the time to explain this so well, awesome tutorial man, keep the hardwork :)
Wow Kevin, you really put a lot of work into this. Thank you very much for your efforts.
Great video man. Thanks for going the extra mile and going over every bit and not just showing 1 or 2 things :)
Tremendous video! Exactly what I needed to give me the confidence to use Arduino in a low power project. Thank you!
Such a kind of videos give an incredible value to internet. Thank you for sharing your hard work!
Time for the authoritarian powers of the world to ban us from it.
Great tutorial Kevin! best one I have seen about sleep functionality. thanks
Probably the best video I've seen on this topic. Thank you very much Kevin.
I'm part of the late crew but: working right now on a similar project I - finally! - stumbled across your channel/video..
I failed trying all other tutorials and even ChatGPT couldn't help me out with a proper code. Either the 328 didn't wake up again or the sketch didn't work at all..
Yours worked for me right from the start, it doesn't need libraries and you even explain how to set the needed registers!!
Instant subscription 👍 and your channel is - unfortunately - really underrated..
Great work Kevin - really clear and straight forward. I particularly like the methodical way you step through this develop the improvements. Would be great to see the differences when applied to the ESP8266
Liked and subbed, Great video Kevin, I really love the way you explain things. I have been using arduino for years now but have always hit a brick wall when it comes to assembly and modifying MCU bits. I just learned more about it in 25 minutes then the past three years. Bravo!
Nice video! The little snafu in the middle is not a big deal at all! Tons of great information in this video, it is all very much appreciated!
This is absolutely perfect video Kevin, thank you so much !
Exactly what I needed to know! Thank you!
Thanks, this was just what I needed for my data logger project!
Not going to lie. This is way over my head as far as digging into complicated verbiage in documentation, but your breakdown at least helped me understand the efforts that go into breaking down the use of all these sleep state features that I was just copying and pasting into my scripts to use in my projects. Appreciated.
Absolutely great! No other video or any instruction helped me. Once I watched your video everything works perfect! And even with datasheet explanation! Awesome!!!!
Greetings from Germany ;)
This is really good stuff. Thank you kevin for coming up with such awesome contents. I am actually working on a project in which i really tied up with the battery power consumption, this video is really gonna help me out.
Thank again. :)
WOW! explanation in GREAT depth. Liked it enormously. even if I just understood 10% of it 🙂
Thanks for the tutorial! I didn't know those registers were simply keywords that you can use in the Arduino code in conjunction with the bit operations.
Thanks man! The best tutorial I've ever seen
This is a fantastic tutorial. Thank you for posting!
Thank you for a very informative tutorial. It helped me heaps!
Please keep it up.
very good presentation from datasheet to real ...perfect
This is... wildly helpful. Thank you!
Great job, I was struggling with getting from 60uA to 1uA. And it was just BOD monitoring. Thank you.
Good job buddy, in off grid... every bit of saving is welcome..! 😊
I really enjoyed this video. I loaded the code provided from the link onto an Arduino
Uno clone and the setting of all the pins to output dropped the measured current used by the Arduino to 11.44mA when the LED was off. For reference when the basic Blink code was running the measured current used by the Arduino when LED was off was 21.72mA. So that alone cut the current usage in half. Brilliant! Really a smart thing to do. Lesson learned. Thanks Kevin. I'll drop a few bucks in the tip jar..
oh god!!!! i was searching for this concept for about a month....great explanation...just amazing...definitely great work #Thumbs up.
20:40 those 16 seconds were quite accurate because you started the timer just after led goes off.
Great video by the way!
awesome video!! It motivates me to learn more about this assembly setting and try to get more out of the datasheets (it has being always like ready ancient code non-sense)
This was just a awesome presentation of power saving possibilities. Exactly what I needed. I'm running a 328P-PU on the internal 8 MHz and the power savings in sleep mode are even mire dramatic: on my digital multimeter I measure 0.1 micro amps when sleeping! This is even lower than your 0.368 micro amps you measured. Thanks again for your detailed explanations. They were perfect!
I have a interesting phenomena after increasing the watchdog counter in the for loop to 20 (to get 20x8"sleep) --> It's not possible to wake up the 328 with the interrupt button, unless I press the button multiple times (up to 19 times!). What is the mechanism behind?
Problem solved. Counter variable ‚i‘ needs to be declared globally and set to 76 in the interrupt service routine to get out of the ‚for‘ loop :-)
Man, you are the best! Thank you so much! greetings from Colombia!
thanks a lot i had no clue what i was doing and was explained really clearly
Some no nonsense power saving, very clever stuff man...Kudos! Very informative will surely implement in a future battery sourced project. If there is one thing that is always in high in use and low in supply it is always going to be power nowadays, used to be the memory/time trade-off. This goes deep into a philosophical EE argument to be made, it seems saving power has become a much larger global problem and it is great to see people like you aware of this, implementing and being pragmatic about ways to improve that consumption of power we Americans forget to bother about. ;-)
Very good. Half way through, bookmarked, because I'll need to watch this a few times.....
Thanks Kevin -
Very helpful.
Wow! fantastic series!! Good job, man! can you make a tutorial also on low power mode for esp8266?
Hope the best for you in the future!
+Giacomo Paccagnan yeah, esp8266 is a great module but it eats power like crazy!
+Giacomo Paccagnan Yes please!
Giacomo Paccagnan
Yes
Hey dude! Your video was very helpful to me! Thanks
Wow, just wow. lots of info packed in this video. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Kevin I am combining your ESP8266 to database data and your DS18B20 projects for wifi grain bin temperature monitoring (spoilage prevention) and low power modes on ESP8266 might also be ideal
Very well explained, it's a very interesting feature of an mcu, thanks for sharing.
I'm looking for a DMM and looked at the price of yours which knocked me back a bit lol
Also thank you for making videos, I always type your name in followed by what I want to learn about because there is always a video!
Thank You for this video, this is what I was looking for.
thank you so much for making these happen man
Still here SHOCKINGLY!
No, I really enjoy the content you put out!
It's very informative and professional.
I don't have enough funds to support you on Patreon, although I have disabled my Adblocker.
Thanks...this cleared me lots of doubts
Not sure I understand much of what you went over but Great Video!! :-)
Absolutely amazing. Your content is superior. Thanks
Well done Kevin, a very well explained and documented tutoral, I have learned a gret deal from your video and in fact have now written my own library to "sleepState" to allow me to implement these great power saving ideas
cool! thanks
Excellent video Kevin, very clear. Many thanks.
Well put together video with explanation. I'm using a Pmos latch circuit to wake up the whole thing, but then found I could use a Cmos 555 dual timer to do the same thing at less cost and power for a simple project. Uses nothing in the off state. Would like to see some power harvesting projects in this series.
Very interesting. I like your approach to the problem. Simple, direct, and effective. Thank you. I will surely use your method for a small project I have in mind.
Hey, it works like a champ! Made a 2nd remote control for my Mitsubishi AC so I don't have to go upstairs to turn it ON/OFF everytime I return/leave the house. 1 ATmega328P(8MHZ no caps, crystals), 1 IRLed, 1 3V coincell battery, a pushbutton switch and a little bit of code. Saved me $75. I was unable to measure the LOWLOW sleep current with my multimeter! THANX!
Hey Kevin thanks a lot for the video, learnd a lot.
Super helpful, thank you for that!
Hi Kevin, that was a very comprehensive video and I think you covered the lot!
I just wish the Atmel guys had done a video like this in the past as I had no idea of which low power options to use.
Maybe they were 'interrupted' too much to do anything else apart from datasheets :-)
I wish I could afford some test gear (and time) to check batteries, but assume if 4 x AA alkalines were used, and without waking the MCU that they would
last at least a year (maybe).
Thanks much again for your great explanation and effort in sharing this!
Thanks Kevin for this excellent video !!!!!
Great Video! Thanks a lot for taking this topic. Real way how arduinos has to be used for learning. Thank you very much
This is an excellent video, thank-you 😀
Thank you for this Quick tip awesome as usual
Thank u It is very helpful.I intend to make a power bank with all the led indicators and other functions......... This Video'ss will help a lot...
awesome, please make more tutorials about timers, interrupts (time and hardware)!
Great video! Exactly what I needed, Thank you.
Still with you! Carry on (thanks for documenting and sharing your experience). p.s. +1 AvE, kysoti!
Awesome video! Very well made. Thank you.
Great, by setting your power save mode in 2016 to several devices, I saved calculated 112 Euros in the meantime!

Super, LowPower library did not mix well with RadoHead library. This does the job. Thanks
Very helpful video. Thank you for this.
Very interesting to see bare code without library... keep the good job. BTW, 25 s is nothing to worry about.
Hi Kevin. Could you make video on attiny series power saving and deep sleep. These micros are perfect for small projects using batteries. I use tinys whenever I can.
Single 3V button cell project would be nice :)
FWIW attiny is similar enough to atmega328 that a lot of this transfers
Great and clear work . many thanks
1 mA is too much. We need to go deeper. :) I love it.
Thank you very much! This really helps a lot!
This is amazing! Mind exploded...
very nice, really hard work. Congrats for sharing :)
Great and unique way Of explaination , thanks!
Excellent vid, thanks so much!
great deep and clear explenation ... i like it
Amazing job, really.
Nice job and good explanation!!!!
Very nice video, well explained and very useful ! Thx
Very useful video. Thanks!
I am still here, and i can *hear* you testing your code :D
thank you . this amazing
Salut ! Un grand merci pour votre explication qui m'a permise de mieux comprendre ce WDT et qui va me permettre d'achever mon projet, ENFIN !!!
Great job! Could you make a similar tutorial on low power modes for ARM M0+? It would help a lot for a project I am working on for university. Thank you.
You make it sound so easy! :)
yea, nowadays I still reference this and just a copy/paste kinda thing
thanks a lot I was waiting for this thank you
Thanks, Kevin! This is definitely a great deep sleep tutorial for battery-powered Arduino projects. I was wondering if a bootloader was used to change the code between each part or you used an external programmer. I presume that communication with the micro host after sleep mode is activated is not possible, isn't?
