Auto Power_on at boot

Hello there,

I would like to use a proffieboard to control a kit led for my car.

I took a look at the fett263 librairy but can’t find the right setting.
I would like to get same blade effect as a power-on action and which remains solid without turn the proffieboard on (until I unplugged the batterie or change the preset). Is there a way to add a blade effect as an Off-Behaviour (off course the idle must remain up for hours - no deepsleep etc…).

Or to add a kind of auto power-on at boot ?

I want it to light up when i turn my car on for example

Thanks for your help guys :slight_smile:

You can set Off Behavior for Accent LED or Crystal Chamber styles in the library.

You’ll probably need to also adjust this define to keep things powered up while Off.

#define IDLE_OFF_TIME 60 * 10 * 1000

With 10 being minutes.

I finally found another post with a script to turn the saber on on boot (thanks to the master hubinette) - Power on directly after boot?

Because using Off-Behavior set-up won’t allow me to replicate a ignition effet followed by a static.
It looks like I can cycle some overlay over a base color but can’t define a standard blade effect while proffie is in off mode. (Or i don’t know how to).

Well, you could either do a custom wiring that turns on. But easier would be to do a custom prop file. Since you only want to drive LED strips with styles when it powers on, it would be almost trivial to write.
@profezzorn Am I right that if you don’t define IDLE_OFF_TIME then it will not go into idle mode automatically?

Yes, that is correct.

in fact the script prepared by proff works perfectly at this stage. it allow me to turn the light on when I turn the engine on (I use a cigarette lighter socket which turn on only the engine is on too). I have also added a BT630 module to be able to use forcesync app to change preset directly :).
Now I will try to find the right effect to get a impact on car show hehe (#needforspeed nostalgia)

If you wire a switch you could do BLAST effects, for example. And in ProffieOS 8.x I think there’s some way to use WS2812 “displays”. If you use an 8 x 32 you can make the famous eyes, for example.

the board will be install in the trunk of the car. But I will control it by bluetooth :slight_smile:
