Monitor sleep mode - Kaya3 - 2018-05-15 Apologies if this is requested already. In my setup and I assume most non-headless installs the main power user is the monitor. It would be great if there was a setting to put the monitor into sleep/standby mode (way less power usage) after a user set number of minutes then wake after a key press. Our general usage would have one of the crew check the chart plotter whenever they pass the nav station say every 5 or ten mins possibly even longer if in clear water. The rest of the time the monitor would be drawing a lot less power. The monitor can be powered on and off manually, but if this is an easy feature to add it would be a lot more elegant. RE: Monitor sleep mode - jim321 - 2018-05-15 try this because its a raspberry pi thing not a op thing. its not an easy feature to add. in the terminal sudo nano /boot/config.txt add this line to the file somewhere. hdmi_blanking=1 ctrl x then y and enter.. sudo reboot let me know if that works for you RE: Monitor sleep mode - Kaya3 - 2018-05-15 (2018-05-15, 06:24 PM)jim321 Wrote: try this because its a raspberry pi thing not a op thing. its not an easy feature to add. |
