ESP32 Deep Sleep Ultra Low Power Coprocessor - We need to go deeper...

We're taking an even deeper loop into deep sleep in this video. As always, big thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video - check them out at www.PCBWay.com.

We're following on the previous deep sleep deep dive video (https://youtu.be/YOjgZUg_skU) and taking a look at the Ultra Low Power (ULP) coprocessor.

The ULP coprocessor is a really interesting part of the ESP32 device. It's a really powerful additional processor that can run even when the main device is in deep sleep.

I had to learn how to use this to get deep sleep working well in my DIY e-Reader project (https://youtu.be/VLiCgB0odOQ).

There is a plugin for the Arduino IDE that will add support for the ULP assembler - https://github.com/duff2013/ulptool and there's also a C compiler that will generate ULP assembly code - https://github.com/jasonful/lcc
