Power Extnsion

[Don23805]

I have a project that pulses a Western Union slave clock every hour to snap the minute hand to 12. My battery powering the BIT isn’t lasting as long as I hoped. I found the POWER extension for the V2. The idea is that right after I pulse the correction solenoid I go into low power mode for 59 minutes. In a test project, the BIT, with nothing except empty Start & Forever blocks, draws about 15mA. If I add a Request Low Power for 10 seconds block, it only drops to 14mA. There is something in the extension documentation about going into Low Power mode only when the BIT is idle. I tried Pause blocks before and/or after the Request, but it made no difference. Maybe I’m missing how to force idleness (no pun intended). TIA Don
