Reducing Arduino's Power Consumption Part 1
Reducing Arduino’s Power Consumption Part 2
Reducing Arduino’s Power Consumption Part 3
Reducing Arduino’s Power Consumption Part 4 (Turning Off the BOD)

In this instructable we look at how to drastically reduce the amount of power your Arduino consumes. This tutorial is a must if you are creating battery powered projects where battery life is critically. In this four part video series we will utilize the AVR's (Arduino chip) power reduction registers (PRR), sleep modes, interrupts, watch dog timer (WDT), and how to shut off the brown out detection (BOD) capability.
