If you are using the regular and pro 2.4GHz XBee you don't need anything close to 1A. The hardware pin sleep is so low power that turning it off makes little sense. Just my two cents from the guy who builds low power hacking drones. On Dec 31, 2014 4:36 AM, "Kevin D'Souza" <[email protected]> wrote:
