Well,
The only components that i have connected besides the processor are the
reset circuitry (1 cap, 1 diode and 1 resistor), the RS232 driver
(MAX3238), the regulator (MCP1701), the USB circuitry (now with 2 470K
pulldown in the D+ and D- lines) , the crystal and pullups in 3 P0 pins.
Without the processor, the board consumes less de 2uA.
