# SLEEP Example

Syntax: SLEEP

Connect an LED and 470 Ω resistor as shown below for the demo program.

NOTE: This is written for the BS2 and will run on any BASIC Stamp module. Modify the $STAMP directive (as required) before downloading to the BS1, BS2e, BS2sx, BS2p, BS2pe, or BS2px.

    ' SLEEP.BS2
    ' This program lights an LED and then goes to sleep. Connect an LED to pin
    ' 0 as shown in the description of SLEEP in the manual and run the program.
    ' The LED will turn on, then the BASIC Stamp will go to sleep. During sleep,
    ' the LED will remain on, but will blink at intervals of approximately 2.3
    ' seconds due to the watchdog timeout and reset.

    ' {$STAMP BS2}

    Setup:
      LOW 0                                 ' turn LED on

    Snooze:
      SLEEP 10                              ' sleep for approximately 10 seconds
      GOTO Snooze
      END
