Power saving with IR receive and a servo
I have managed to put together some basic code to rotate a servo when I press "button 1" on a remote. If I can get it to last a reasonable amount of time idle (month?) then I will attempt to implement the rest of the concept along the lines of a basic timer that will cycle a switch using the servo after a variable amount of time. Seems basic but hey I finally have my launchpad doing something more than blink the red LED.
Right now it's basically the IRrecieve demo with lines of servo control written into an if else chain to output serial data/write to servo.
What is the best way to try saving power for this application?
