Hello,

I am new to roboclaw. Is there a feature available for the Roboclaw to auto power off when there is no load or the motor is in idle state? I did not find any setting in the app.
Any help is much appreciated.

When not driving the motor the Roboclaw controller will draw around 30ma. There is no power off option. You must make sure you are not driving the motors to guarantee the low power state. You can do that by sending a duty command with 0 duty to each motor channel.
