Keeping Battery-Powered Sensors awake

Community Playground General Discussions
#1

It’s been some time since I’ve looked into this, read about it, or posted about it… I heard/read once a while back that you could set a parameter on the HRDS1 to keep it awake so that it could be polled… anyone know if this is true? I’d like to power my sensor via wall-wart and keep it awake all the time.

Give this a try.

Configuration Parameter # 3.

1 byte dec

0 through 127
0 = power save (will sleep after 10 secs of being activated)
1 - 127 always awake.

JOD.

Thx JOD. Do you know what other parameters are available for the hrds1?

#4

Yes, #1 & #2. ;D
I’ll look through my notes and post them for you.

JOD.

#5

old thread bump, but I could not find any newer info.

I just hooked up one of my HRDS1s to a wall wart, and it works fine.

Where/how do I set this parameter 3? I tried advanced/new variable (3, val 1) but it didn’t work.

thanks for any helpl
