Arduino

With the power minimization methods in place from previous videos in this series, Shawn Hymel completes the LoRa Radio project by disabling brown out detection and calculating the number of WDT (watch dog timer) cycles needed the achieve the desired one year of project battery life running on two AAA alkaline cells. Shawn includes and explains the related math and the Arduino code edits needed to finalize the project design.
