These miscelaneous functions cover:

  • Low Power Operation
  • Low power sleep mode
  • Setting MCU oscillator frequency
  • Supply voltage measurement
  • Reading average supply votage from ADC
  • Printing out ATmega328PB fuse settings and lockbits, in debug mode.

initPins

This function sets the pinMode for the non row/col pins and sets their HIGH/LOW level as appropriate. This essentialy covers the 2 IR receivers, The IR emitter, the 2 I2C pins and the GPIO power supply pins for the optional IR receivers and I2C EEPROM (Both of which are powered off by default).

initLowPowerSleep

This function configures the relevant AVR registers to obtain optimal low power current usage, when sleeping. The sleep mode is set to SLEEP_MODE_PWR_DOWN, which usese the least amount of current when sleeping.

goToSleep

This function is called from the main loop every time a button press is processed.

Before sleeping, the LED is turned off, the UART is disabled, PCINTs are enabled, and then the sleep process is initiated.

When a button is pressed, control automatically returns to the latter part of this function, where we initially disable sleep mode, and if in debug mode we re-enable the UART and insert a small delay to allow the BAUD rate generator to stabilise.

Finally we check if the battery level is too low for stable operation. If it is too low we enter a permanent power down mode to avoid potential corruption.
