Wow - this is really cool! 

So basically, it works by running code in an async / await style so the execution is “awaited" until there’s enough harvested energy to proceed, storing the state in NVRAM in the meantime?

I didn’t know you could do that - thanks for sharing :)

I also find this really interesting as it’s another example of thinking of onboard / harvestable energy as finite, dispatchable, but low carbon resource, just like levels of caching or memory are, and programming accordingly.
