Hi
I am considering using the sleep function of a PIC12f629 to save power during a period of user inactivity in a battery powered appliance.
My problem is I need to know how long the device has been left inactive, which would obviously involve using a timer to count this time period.
Is it possible to use the sleep function of the pic and at the same time keep a record of how long the pic has been 'asleep'?
If not is there any other way of measuring this sleep period without using alot of power?
Thanks
John
