Save power in SquidBee - sleep mode
From SquidBee
With this program we're adding to our SquidBee the sleep-mode function, we are saving power using the micro only when we need.
Only a 220 ohm resistor is needed, connected between pin 2 and RX in arduino.
The next step to get more power save is using the sleep modes in the XBee module (coming soon).
#include <avr/sleep.h>
/* Sleep Demo Serial
* -----------------
* Example code to demonstrate the sleep functions in a Arduino.
*
* use a resistor between RX and pin2. By default RX is pulled up to 5V
* therefore, we can use a sequence of Serial data forcing RX to 0, what
* will make pin2 go LOW activating INT0 external interrupt, bringing
* the MCU back to life
*
* there is also a time counter that will put the MCU to sleep after 10secs
*
* NOTE: when coming back from POWER-DOWN mode, it takes a bit
* until the system is functional at 100%!! (typically <1sec)

*
* This new version introduces the sensors reading feature
* when the micro wakes up, it reads the sensors values and send them
* over the serial port.
*
* To wake up the micro, you just have to send any data over the serial port,
* so when you want to read the sensors, you send any serial data to the mote
* and it'll wake up, send data and back to sleep
