Depending on your distribution, that should be a one-liner in the rules.

See how we blink the red power led on critical status and add an

With an FSO based system you could do this easily with help of oevents.

In the file /etc/freesmartphone/oevents/rules.yaml exists two entries

for actions to be taken when the battery is nearly empty. You could

easily edit these entries and do LED actions or play some sound files.

The relevant entries are these:


    while: PowerStatus()

    filters: HasAttr(status, "critical")

    actions: SetLed("gta02_power_orange", "blink")


    trigger: PowerStatus()

    filters: HasAttr(status, "empty")

    actions: Command('poweroff')


You can add your own actions as described at the beginning of this file.

For example the following line look good for your scenario:


# - PlaySound(file)         : Action that starts to play an audio file


I already edited this file to start the red AUX LED blinking when on

battery to see if my freerunner is in standby or just the screen is

blanked. And i also edited the maximum brightness to be 60 and not 90 in

this file to save some energy (bright enough to still see everything

good). So you can do really nice things with help of the oevents rules. :)


Ciao,

     Rainer

while true; do

  if [ `capacity` -lt 10 ]; then

      alert

  fi

  sleep 120


I'm guessing yes but I do not know the PMU stuff well.

Doesnt it already do that - I know that in the middle of the night I

used to get regularly awakened by a "shfffft" sound from the Fr as the


Its actually a good idea - I use a couple of perl scripts to flash the

leds in various colours/rates to indicate charge.  Doesnt help when shut

down though.  Perhaps a cron job to wake every hour and check the

charge, then go back to sleep?  Does cron work on the FR these days?

Hmm,


using the clock to wake me up in the morning would be an option to

check the

battery.


It even wakes up, or boots, if I have shut down the phone :-)


If the clock is not at a really alarm time (to wake me up :-),

it could configure the next wakeup to check the battery.


Is that a solution if PMU doesn't support us with another solution ?

Sure, make the phone wake up every 2 hours to check battery level.

Le 14230i=C3=A8me jour apr=C3=A8s Epoch,


I've a small script that works as a daemon, checking interval depends

on the charge (described on a file), play sounds (except when

charging) depending on the current charge.


There is no doc, no install proc, it's not packaged, but it can be

done easily...


The config file (default values in the script) contains:


  # Les diff=C3=A9rents niveaux

  THRESHOLDS=3D"100:20:1200: 20:10:600:low 10:5:150:critical 5:0:30:emergen=

cy"


Each group of check parms is max:min:delay:sound


If level is between (_max_,_min_), the "aplay" _sound_.wav and wait _delay_

for next check.


Hope it helps.

It has passed quite a long time since I upgraded the bootloader, does

the FR boots when the battery is totally down?

I'had seen this thread that seemed to have addressed this issue:

Qtopia 4.3.2 on FR does it, so I guess there must be a way.
