The power consumption of the ESP8266 depends on the PHY mode employed for sending or receiving data. In power critical applications, it is important to balance the average or burst data transfer rate as well as overall power consumption of the system.This test demonstration is intended to demonstrate the results of various power consumption tests on the ESP8266. Based on this guide, users can choose the appropriate PHY mode and data transmission scheme for their application.

This guide is intended to help implement and test the available low power modes and observe the resulting current consumption of the ESP8266 easily and quickly. It demonstrates the Modem-sleep mode, Light-sleep mode, and Deep-sleep mode.

Provides low-power command added to binaries.
