- web:
- preamble: A bit more detailed description, with suggestion to try
value 12 (default is 8)
Assurance in taskWebserver that value is >= 8.
- sb_angle: min is 5 but text said Range 0 to 360.
- GPS: new "GPS powersaving mode".
Still testing. "Made GPS may sleep when running on battery" default.
- GPS powersaving mode:
If you have problems, set it to "Ignore this feature".
While looking at the power consumption, GPS has a quite high power
consumption.
If we have no fix for 10min, we go to sleep mode. Interval
Sleep 1min, 2min, 4min, 8min, 1min, 2min, ..
Awake 120, next: 60s, next: 40, next: 30s
After 4 rounds, we run GPS 10min again (better chance to refresh the
almanach).
During sleep, taskGPS is suspended and gps chip is powered off.
-> This algorithm saves reduces the power consumption of the GPS chip to
~30%.
If it behaves good, more fine-tuning can be done (i.E. switching it earlier
off if you don't move. Reduce the initial fix-loss-time of 10min, ..)
LCD shows "GPS: sleep" when GPS is in power saving mode. If it awakes
and has no fix, it shows (as usual) GPS: age nnn".
- preamble changes:
- TX setting:
Now only affects main qrg. Perhaps it's wiser to be able to set it
in more detail: Main, Secondary, Both. Or with different values
for the different frequencies.
- RX setting:
moved to loraSend(), where default rx values are reset after TX
- LCD:
- "GPS: sleep" as described above
- Tried to improve the readibility of the LastHeard lines. Need to verify
