Standby Mode

[taubstumm]

Last night i lied in the bed and listened to some mp3's on my gp32..
but i had to stay up to turn it off just before i fall asleep..

soo.. an mp3/ogg player which supports kinda standby mode which saves battery...
you can choose howlong you want to listen and when time is up it swichtes to standby mode..
would be nice to see that in yogg or the "european" mp3 player..

All you can do is underclock it to the lowest CPU speed it can go, but your batteries, no matter what, will still be dead by the time you wake.

Get a wall plug, or here is a concept, a radio!

Actually, there is a IDLE mode and a STOP mode.
The STOP mode pretty much stops everything, all clocks etc.
(except the RTC clock ofcourse).

So writing some code that can enter/exit stop mode could be helpful.

Any idea how long the battery would last if it were in STOP mode?

 

[mithris]

No idea, but probably pretty long, since most stuff is turned off..

no.. i meant standby wich turns off everything

 

[ThndrShk2k]

oh, you mean shut off gp32 after a while due to your asleep and not listening!

prolly with the fully stop mode and shit like that i guess

get a wall adapter then get 1 of them timers which u plug into the wall so when it runs out of time it shows power off to the wall adapter plugged into it.

Best solution i could think of B)

but if u do that remember to put the GP32 on the floor under your bed (So no one stands on it ) incase a Animal or Human walks into the wire pulling your GP32 to its death hehe....

Stop mode thing would kick ass

(except the RTC clock ofcourse).

What RTC?? Do you mean darkfader's RTC mod, or a clock that keeps counting the whole time the GP32 is on?

i dont understand....


oh, you mean shut off gp32 after a while due to your asleep and not listening! <-- but that is what i meant

rcx:
the RTC has it's own clock, and it would be dumb to turn it off aswell since you want to be able to wake up using a RTC alarm or smth.

The RTC does not have a battery of its own, so if you turn the power off it will stop.
