| GM328 component tester problem - powers itself off too quickly, firmware 1.49m |
| (1/1) |
| seanspotatobusiness:
I had a problem with the old original firmware on my GM328 component tester where, after booting, it would not let me select an item on the menu; it would move past the menu and say "Battery OK. Vext = 0mv" (with the Vext = 0mv part flashing) and I'd be unable to turn the unit off except by removing the power. I compiled 1.49m with the following settings and uploaded it to a different 328P chip: Makefile (pastebin: https://pastebin.com/9N1VtdBH) config.h (attached) config_328.h (attached) The problem now is that it switches off after less than a second following identification of a component, not giving enough time to read the screen. Video: https://youtube.com/shorts/xzoZdjnmPno - Anyone have any idea what could cause that? The most relevant setting I know is #define POWER_OFF_TIMEOUT 60 which shouldn't power the unit off until 60 seconds have elapsed. |

I don't know if this is your issue but worth a look. take a peek at ur config.h see ur 60 sec timeout, great. But notice the comment about how it applies to "auto-hold" only... --- Code: ---/* * Automatic power-off when no button is pressed for a while (in s). * - applies to auto-hold mode only * - uncomment to enable, also adjust timeout (in s) */ #define POWER_OFF_TIMEOUT 60 --- End code --- But these 'auto-hold' related settings are commented out... Should they be? --- Code: ---/* * C/L monitors: auto hold * - requires display with more than two text lines * - uncomment to enable (one or more) */ //#define SW_MONITOR_HOLD_ESR /* auto-hold ESR (C monitor) */ //#define SW_MONITOR_HOLD_L /* auto-hold L (L monitor) */ /* * Set the default operation mode to auto-hold. * - instead of continous mode * - uncomment to enable */ //#define UI_AUTOHOLD --- End code --- |

I would give it a good clean. Sometimes mine does that. |
