Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for reducing power consumption at an electromechanical gun. The electromechanical gun may transition to an inactive state to reduce power consumption, and the electromechanical gun may transition to an active state to perform a system check procedure or to allow a projectile to be fired from the electromechanical gun. The electromechanical gun may identify a sleep event based on an analysis of an output of a first electronic component, compute an estimated time duration based on an amount of electric charge remaining in the energy store, set a sleep timer according to the estimated time duration, and transition to the inactive state by terminating a power supply of a second electronic component. The electromechanical gun may transition to the active state in response to the sleep timer elapsing or a second output indicating that a user is touching the electromechanical gun.
