QOTD - August 202319th August 2023 A good few years back, I sent out loads of job applications with a cover letter starting ''Dear Sir / Mad man'' and I wondered why it took so ling to get a job. |

SpinalWatch19th August 2023 It's weird, I would manually force the buffer and the copy to be different, but then it would only decide that where I'd put the text was different and the background wouldn't be. I was calling clearSceeenBuffer() in my setup, so I'd expec*snip* |

SpinalWatch18th August 2023 Added the screen functions back, reverted to the original 'send full screen' rather than only the dirty lines, for some weird reason it isnt dirtying the lines properly and I can't be bothered to find out why. |

Best way to clone a Windows install?18th August 2023 socoder.net Macrium Reflect trial version worked for me. I think you can even tell it that your'e using an SSD so wit will set the sector sizes correctly etc. |

SpinalWatch18th August 2023 So far so good. I've started adding the screen functions back and it's not crashed yet. Ble is still working, slightly slower for some reason, although the power saving 'deep sleep' seems to be working fine and not killing the Ble like it d*snip* |

SpinalWatch18th August 2023 OK, Started from scratch, First I got the BLE code working and connecting, no problems yet. Then I added all of the power saving code, one item at a time and still working (power at 1.9mA). Left it running for a while, no crashing, sent multiple notifica*snip* |

SpinalWatch16th August 2023 However, I did just notice that I wasn't freeing some pointers after use, perhaps that's what was causing the random crashes.... |

SpinalWatch16th August 2023 Reverting back to version 1, just before switching to gadgetbridge for the notifications. First I'll get it to connect, then accept the time etc. and go from there again. |

SpinalWatch15th August 2023 [quote]Well, if that's workable. Might be tricky overnight, though.[/quote] If I remove all the power saving code, then it only gets a couple of hours battery, especially if I stick a couple of LED's on there also. |

SpinalWatch14th August 2023 Well, that's a day wasted. After loggin the battery, current time, start time etc to the gadgetbridge app, once the watch lost power, I went to 'capture' the log (the app just dumps the log to a file at that point) and the thing wasn't res*snip* |

SpinalWatch14th August 2023 bugger, after being on all night, it's stil running and reporting the battery value but.... it's lost 10 hours somewhere! Time to restart and this time, send the time that it thinks it is as well as the battery level. |

SpinalWatch13th August 2023 tried a different test now, see if that changes anything. [edit] OK, switching of all power saving attempts and sending the battery reading every minute until it dies. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours to track battery percentage. |

SpinalWatch12th August 2023 OK, the problem boils down to sleeping 'too long' I need to find a balance between power usage and not crashing :-P If I sleep for about 2/3 of a second, the power usage is about 2mA, I 'll continue testing tomorrow, or in the future at least,*snip* |
