Sleep Mode

[valera39]

Hi Dear Wolle!
When you put the radio into sleep mode using the button on the remote control and then exiting it by pressing the same button, the radio reboots with this image

Re-flashed with a full cleanup and re-downloaded the project again.
Thanks for your hard work and hope you will add FM radio soon. I think clear-sky will be happy too :)

[clear-sky]

Hi Dear valera39!
long press is for hardware buttons and using it with remote is rediculous !
due to ir remote #400 problem when you long press buttons in most cases it drops in mute mode before !
i had asked from wolle to add ir buttons to avoid this problems #245 #309 #359
hope he pay attention to your ask!

[valera39]

Hi Dear clear-sky!
I still have the radio on the second version and there with a button on the remote it goes to sleep and wakes up with no problem. But in the third version it doesn't do that

[valera39]

clear-sky, I think a remote like this would be perfect for the radio.

Let's ask the esteemed Wolle to do so

[clear-sky]

Hi Dear valera39 !
Choosing the type of remote completely depends on everyone's taste!
These types of remotes have several problems that are unbearable for me. First, they have hard buttons
Second, due to the use of a coin battery that has little power and therefore its range is very low. Third, if it is used a lot, the battery will be empty very quickly.
Larger remotes that work with AA or AAA batteries do not have the problems of the previous remotes. I use a special type of them that is raw and does not have a special code in them. You can save the codes of several remotes in this remote and use one remote instead of all. these remotes are called "universal" or "learning" remotes
The advantage of using these remotes is that if this remote breaks, the original remote will remain intact and you will be at ease.

The next news is that the initial esp32-p4 boards were introduced and are being tested by early developers. The processor is dual-core and works at a speed of 400 MHz and can easily display full HD videos at a speed of 30 frames per second. Maybe Mr. Wolle, seeing this board, will leave the development of radio and start a new project called MWTV---who knows!!!

[valera39]

Hi Dear Wolle!
I never heard your answer to my question. Can this problem be solved with a reboot?

[schreibfaul1]

There will be a new version in which this and other errors are eliminated. If I change something in the master now, I have problems transferring the dev branch via PR. Please be patient.
The lowering of the CPU frequency and the disconnection of the WiFi has not proved successful and will no longer exist in "SLEEP mode".

[valera39]

Thanks, I just thought you hadn't noticed the error.

[valera39]

Hi Dear Wolle!
Is it possible to disable KCX_BT_Emitter activity in sleep mode?

This is a good idea. There is an AT command which switches off the BT emitter "AT-POWER_OFF". But there is none to switch it on. This can be done with the button on the board or with a short "H" pulse at the Connect input.
You need another GPIO for this. I have realised this for the ESP32-S3 and adapted the schematic. The ESP32 lacks free pins.

[ve2cfb]

Hello Wolle,
I did some test using the AT-POWER_OFF and CONNECT with the basic KCX_BT_Emitter code that is on your site. The IR pin was used for the test.
i Really need this option because been in a condo, the rooms are quite close and every device wants to connect to everybody. So i need to POWER OFF the BT only. Like you said, the esp32 is missing an extra pin. I had to remove the IR option for the test.
On my Web Radio there is only 2 buttons, the Power On/Off and the BT On/Off. Both are latched buttons with Led. At one point, i had to let go since i had problems with the code. (who ever invented hold age, should be sent to Jupiter...)

Anyway.¸..
Is the AT-POWER_OFF and CONNECT code usable with the ESP32-S3 ...?

Thanks again.

With the ESP32, GPIO12 would be free, this is a "strapping pin" and must be pulled to GND at startup. GPIO12 is therefore hardly applicable (possibly for the display backlight?) The pin for IR is "input only".
A short low pulse at CONNECT is required to wake up the BT emitter (~100ms)

Yes , now i remember why during my test, i stopped working with pin 35.
Did a quick look in the code and found the CONNECT section. Will see if it can do what i want.
Thanks again.

Perhaps GPIO12 can be used for TFT_BL. I haven't tried it, but then GPIO32 would be free for BT-CONNECT.

Hello Wolle,
Since almost all the BT fnctions are already done, i would do the test with a ESP32S3 and later try to implement it on a ESP32.
You can tell me if it is possible.

Use a SPST Latched Switch.

Here is my idea of sequence of operation using 2 GPIO.

1. (Switch is in OFF position) do a AT-POWER_OFF . At startup time or during normal operation.
2. (Switch is in ON position) do a BT connect. At startup time or during normal operation.
3. (Switch is in OFF position) do AT-POWER_OFF again. During normal operation.

Many thanks...

Hi Dear Wolle!
I would like to propose you an idea, to show the clock in sleep mode, with the ability to disable this option in the settings. What do you think about it?

[schreibfaul1]

The idea is good

Hi Dear Wolle!
In order not to open a new topic, I'll ask here.
How to make the clock brightness in sleep mode less?

[schreibfaul1]

This requires another setting option. Another idea would be to use a photodiode to control the brightness depending on the ambient light. But unfortunately there is no free pin on the ESP32.

[valera39]

Great idea with the photodiode, it can be used for esp32s3 which has free pins. Shall we try it?

[schreibfaul1]

A photodiode is probably not the right solution after all. There are too many with different properties or characteristics. I think a brightness sensor would be better, preferably with I2C. I will first see what is available on the big online platforms, the sensor must be available everywhere at an affordable price.

[valera39]

For example, you can use the available GY-302 BH1750 Light Sensor

Hi Dear valera39!
simple LDR works fine for me in wolle's matrix clock!
in my opinion it is better to set brightness with software in sleep condition instead of hardware

[valera39]

clear-skyHey!
Exactly, I would like the brightness to be dimmed in sleep mode.
