OK, I know there isn’t a real ‘sleep’ as such with ProffieOS, but this is another odd one…
Normally, once all the accent LEDs shut down after the specified Idle Off Time duration, you just need to hit the MAIN button to light the blade and bring it all back to life.
But in this install, once the Idle Off Time has happened, the saber becomes completely unresponsive with either button. The only way to make it work again is to reboot using the kill key.
Config is here, but is nothing particularly unusual, and upload was done with Serial only (no mass storage or WebUSB):
Specs are:
Proffieboard v2.2
OS 7.8 Master, downloaded from Github about a week ago.
BT630 Bluetooth module, wired from LED pad 6, capacitor fitted between 3.3 volt and GND pads.
Two conventional accent LEDs, one pixel crystal chamber, two pixel accents coded as separate sub-blades, shared power pins between pixel accents.
I’ve checked voltage at the switch pads and they’re around 3.27 volts both before and after the saber becomes unresponsive.
As always, any thoughts welcomed and gratefully received.
Thanks Fernando - will give it a go when I get home from work later today.
The reason I used the Master version was because of the pulsing thing that the Prof tweaked a week or so back:
Though I do recall there was a 7.9 that proved to be rather a misfire, so yes, that could indeed be a factor here.
Will try the standard 7.8 and report back…
7.9 has ultra low power mode that was hastily tested before Fredrik went to Japan. Several of us found that the board won’t wake once shut down due to this, so it was held until it can be diagnosed. There’s a thread about it from about three weeks ago.
