> Here’s a more elaborate example. It allows: Wake by cellular Wake by another pin (RISING only) Wake by sleep time expired It requires 0.8.0 (tested with 0.8.0-rc.8) because it require multi-pin wake support and SleepResult. (The example above works with 0.7.0.) It also has a function, variable, and event subscription, and those work too on wake from cellular. To run the test: To go to sleep, pull D2 to GND To wake by pin, pull D3 to 3V3 You can wake by ping, function (“testFn”), variable…
