FF1705 Low Power Mode

HOW TO PUT FF1705 IN REAL DEEP SLEEP MODE?

Hi guys, I'm developing LoRaWAN application with FF1705 module and It works OK. Because the end device is battery powered I'd like to achieve as lower consumption as possible -> FF1705 module specifications, they say, that it can be as low as 2uA. Even if it is 10uA in low power mode (I'll transmit data max. once every 15 minutes), but since now, I can get as low as 5mA, which is TOO MUCH.

I'm using official code https://os.mbed.com/teams/MultiTech/code/Dot-Examples/

Snippet where DeepSleep is entered


sleep_wake_rtc_or_interrupt(deep_sleep);

Does anyone knows how to put the FF1705 modules in real low power mode at least somewhere under 20uA?

Regards, Ales Zupanc

Unfortunately the low power mode is supported by the xdot module alone. FF1705 is for prototyping purposes only.
