PIC10F206 - What is the LOWEST Power @ Rest or Sleep

[Archangel]

How do you know it's salt water?
And I always thought 'salt water' wasn't salty enough for any sort of useful battery. I know about galvanic corrosion and all that, but that seems a bit short on juice. Maybe enough to keep a cap charged up for a burst of juice when it wakes up? Might be an interesting thing to try out someday...

That was sort of what I was thinking, y'know maximum or dallas used to make some great little charge pump devices, you could maybe glue something together to maintain a small nicad, who knows how large a device he has under water, I know Zinc is really reactive with other metals, if it is of any size it could make pretty good current for quite a long time. I do not know it's salt water. I guess it might be a lake somewhere, 500 feet is pretty deep. Speaking of current, maybe there is water current harvestable to make power.
Problems cannot always be solved with in the box answers, I figured 500 feet was too deep for solar

And I'd be willing to bet that a wind turbine is catagorically out of the question!

Hi Rix,

It looks like you've already found another way. But I thought I'd mention that the @SLEEP command needs to have a space in-between the @ and SLEEP.

@  SLEEP

I'm surprised it didn't give an error.
