Description
The Waveshare HMMD radar module draws ~50 mA continuously and has no built-in sleep or enable pin. Without power switching, battery life drops from ~13 days to ~2.3 days. Implement GPIO-controlled power switching using an N-channel MOSFET (e.g. 2N7002) on GPIO 0 to cut power to the radar during deep sleep.
Acceptance Criteria
Additional Context
MOSFET (e.g. 2N7002 SOT-23) is not yet ordered and needs to be sourced. See docs/node-hardware.md for circuit diagram and power budget impact.
