@ -118,6 +122,32 @@ Few settings for now (feel free to suggest me more) :
|
|||
- power lcd off (disabled by default): turn lcd off when inactive to save power. the watch will wake up when reaching points,
|
||||
when you touch the screen and when speed is below 13km/h.
|

|
||||
### Powersaving
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with release 0.20 we experiment with power saving.
|
||||
|
||||
There are now two display modes :
|
||||
|
||||
- active : the screen is lit back (default at 50% light but can be configured with the *brightness* setting)
|
||||
- inactive : by default the screen is not lit but you can also power it off completely (with the *power lcd off* setting)
|
||||
|
||||
The algorithm works in the following ways :
|
||||
|
||||
- some events will *activate* : the display will turn *active*
|
||||
- if no activation event occur for at least 10 seconds (or *active-time* setting) we switch back to *inactive*
|
||||
|
||||
Activation events are the following :
|
||||
|
||||
- you are near (< 100m) the next point on path
|
||||
- you are slow (< *wake-up speed* setting (13 km/h by default))
|
||||
- you press the button / touch the screen
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Power saving has been tested on a very long trip with several benefits
|
||||
|
||||
- longer battery life
|
||||
- waking up near path points will attract your attention more easily when needed
|
||||
|
||||
