ESP8266 Low clock

Postby jkvarela » Wed May 10, 2017 3:36 am

For my project I need to greatly reduce the esp8266 clock in order to reduce consumption too. While the clock is low I do not need to have the wifi on, nor have any peripherals on, just a small program running slowly on the processor. Is there any way to reduce the esp8266 clock to my purpose? :?

Right now you can only have minimum 80MHz, but you can reduce power consumption by using sleep modes such as model sleep or deep sleep. You can wake up frequently and go to sleep again, saving power.
If you do not need WiFi most of the time but slow continuous processing, please make ESP8266 slave and another low power microcontroller as master.
