Just read through the project by James46717 (Simple Relay Timer) and appreciated his work to implement the Dormant power down mode in the Pico from within Micropython - great work! Is there a ‘Sherlock’ badge? He deserves it.

Hi Murray,

It’s also worth checking out @James46717 's topic that he created with some of the numbers and hurdles when exploring the sleep functions: [Pi Pico - Sleep & Dormant states - #11 by James46717](https://forum.core-electronics.com.au/t/pi-pico-sleep-dormant-states/12584/11)
