@oliv I've been trying to solve this again and I've found something very interesting in my project:

Using the sleep.ino in the examples in Arduino IDE with M5StickC library installed I've confirmed this:

When the device goes into light sleep it draws 6mA

when it goes into deepsleep it draws 2mA

however if I press the power button just once, in deepsleep it draws 25mA for that loop of the program, once you press button A again the current consumption returns to 2mA in deepsleep.

However, when I run the program for using my M5StickC as a smart watch, when in deepsleep it draws 2mA in deepsleep like normal UNTIL I press the power button just once. If I do that, it draws 16mA in deepsleep! The only way to stop it doing this is to press the power button for 6 seconds to turn it off, and then press the power button once more. If I do that, it goes back to drawing 2mA in sleep once again.

Do you have any idea what's causing this?

@m5stack If I power down the M5StickC by pressing the power button for 6 seconds, the current consumption is 0mA, so the AXP192 can turn everything off, like IMU, display etc. How do I tell the AXP192 to only turn on the ESP32 and keep the IMU etc turned off?

That way I will only have the current consumption of the AXP192 and ESP32 (10uA).

Morris45

@m5stack If you won't release the schematic, can you tell us why the M5StickC still draws 2mA in deepsleep, and not 10uA like the ESP32 should?

@m5stack That is not a schematic. For example: apparently there isn't a single resistor on the M5StickC.

I've got my M5StickC in pieces trying to reduce power consumption for increased battery life, and I can see at least 20 resistors without even counting properly.

When will you be releasing the schematic?

Just another experience:

I put my Fluke current meter in series with the battery connection on my M5StickC.

With screen on it draws approximately 80ma
When I call M5.Axp.DeepSleep(); 15ma.

There's something very wrong going on here....
