First results on optimizing battery life for the compost sensor:
This chart measures the voltage of the battery over time. The first steeper slope is a baseline, with a simple CPU delay() called during the loop(). The second shallower slope is calling sleep() from the LowPower Arduino library. Not as much improvement as I expected, so I'll try deepSleep() next.
