Low power tests

Atmel Tiny85v draws about 4 uA at 3 V in deep sleep waiting for a watch dog timer. With a 4300 uF capacitor, it will run for many minutes (the voltage decreases by about 150 mV per minute). I'm hoping that a 4 Farad supercap will let it run all day.

 

The RC is still at 8 MHz; dividing by 256 to run at 31.25 KHz will probably help with power consumption as well.
