: '''2. Sleep accuracy'''<br/>
 
: The Windows system default Sleep precision is 10-16ms.
 
: If you want to improve, you need to use the following methods:

Problems:
The use of TF1 terminal 4.5 requires jumper configuration according to the actual situation of the user.
For example, if the LED in the shield is directly connected, after the cable is connected, there is a pull-up circuit. Therefore, unlike the ISO output of the camera, the camera configuration output should be 3.2V when disconnected, and closed to 0V.
If you need to pick up your own device, the jumper should be jumpered according to the instructions in the specification sheet.
