<![CDATA[M5stickC plus Save power]]>Hi everybody.,

I am working on making the m5stickC plus run as energy-efficiently as possible.

machine.deepsleep(*)

The above code is possible to save energy on the m5stickC plus.

Now I use external modules that are connected to the 5Vout. actually I want the 5Vout to go out too.
The DOCS of m5stick states that you can communicate with the AXP192 Chip via I2C (21,22).
With this I want to disable the IPSout and enable it again.

What code can I use for this? And do you have any more ideas about what I can do?
I program in VScode and with an extension vscode-m5stack-mpy

P.S. I asked AI to write some code for this and came up with the following

as you probably understand the code doesn't work

screenlight turn off, not the backlight.
axp.setLcdBrightness(0)

wifi turn off
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
wlan.active(False)

but still the total curent use is 150-200mA
