newer firmware that includes the PicoSleep library

[Slythy]

Hello, I am using an old version of micropython with the picosleep addition. I have tried taking it an compiling it using wsl and chatgpt but im failing hard as linux and the firmware is well above my head. Is there anyone out there using this or a similar way to get these things to sleep while not losing ram?

I have 1 RP2040 that will run the older firmware fine but I have another that wont. Same board adafruit Feather RP2040. Any help would be great.

Using the built-in ›machine.lightsleep()‹ and maybe ›machine.wake_reason()‹ is not an option?

lightsleep() doesnt result in any change in power consumption sadly.

I run a v1.17 picosleep as a .mpy on a standard RP2040 but never tried it on an adafruit board. I'm surprised a compiled version that runs on a standard RP2040 won't run on the feather, I wonder what's so different about the adafruit hardware?
