Power Management tools

On the other hand it’s the default state of the CM5 pin at power on…

Tbh I think using sdr uses most of the power. I’m not gonna fuss with with turning it off.

This thing is mostly tethered to power unless I’m actively doing something with it, and turning sdr off if I plan on being away from power for a while isn’t a big enough deal to me yet.

I sorted this in an update folks. :wink: Just update the app.

Update fails…

Not cured by shutting down aio2_ctl or rebooting.

Onnit. Gimme 10 minutes and I’ll nudge you.

This was caused by a recent history rewrite on our end, apologies for the inconvenience!

Your local repository diverged from the remote, which prevents the normal fast-forward update.

Quick Fix:

Run these commands to reset your local copy:

cd ~/aiov2_ctl

git fetch origin

git reset --hard origin/main

chmod +x aiov2_ctl.py

sudo ./aiov2_ctl.py --install

After that, aiov2_ctl --update will work normally going forward.

We force-pushed a fix to the main branch, which rewrote the commit history. If you had already pulled the previous version, your local branch no longer matched the remote causing the “Cannot fast-forward to multiple branches” error.

The latest version also includes a fix to make updates more robust going forward.

I’m looking into syncing config.txt with the new rails-on-boot settings, to better handle that automatically.

/downloads/aiov2_ctl in my case… It worked !. Many thanks for these much needed updates @AceMedia

No problem. Apologies for the mismatched branches today. Vileer merged some code that was not ready into main and I had to revert things to push the bits I had already been working on tol resolve this. I’ve told him to merge patches into a dev branch in future so it can be tested before being properly merged. I only found out when I noticed stuff was not reporting back correctly due to the erroneously merged code.

@AceMedia … On boot the four pins are now set to output and low, yet nothing added into firmware/config.txt and your aiov2_ctl not yet opened by me ?

I’m still working on that. Battery issues be slowing me down. :’) Are you on Discord?

Yes… but not very active there.

Fastest way to reach me if you need my help anyway. I’m ShaneRounce on there.
