Hello,

I've been able to somewhat reduce the power consumed by an ATM1281-based 
Zigbit device by switching off the radio and the UART port (via 
SerialActiveMessageC) during periods of inactivity, but I've been unable 
to get below 0.4 mA. I tried to explicitly disable the I2C bus as well 
as, but there was no change. The corresponding fuses for the watchdog 
timer, the brownout detector and the on-chip debugger are already 
(un)programmed. I also tried lowering the MCU's clock frequency, but 
anything other than 8 Mhz won't compile. Stopping the ADC converter does 
not seem to make any difference either. Has anybody had better luck with 
an Iris, Meshbean, or any other device with the ATM1281/RF230 combo?

Thanks,

Sergio
