Title: Weathershield power consumption in sleep mode

Hi,

I couldn't find the info: is the WeatherShield power supply cut off when the Moteino is set in sleep mode ? If not, is it possible to do so and how ?

Thks,
darkcurrent

It's not, and it shouldn't be. Moteino provides 3.3V thorugh the "3.3" pin to the WeatherShield.
The sensors on the WShield are very very low power.
Sleep mode of the atmega328 has nothing to do with cutting any power to anything :)
