Re: [Announce] bnf - nifty little tool, allowing to have battery info at glance

Sorry for late respond, but looks like reboot cure the thing, no more errors here.

Too easy, right?

Re: [Announce] bnf - nifty little tool, allowing to have battery info at glance

Yep, too easy. :p

Could cou please post output of

Code:

lsmod | grep bq27

and

Code:

cat /etc/modules

and

Code:

cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

nevertheless?

Re: [Announce] bnf - nifty little tool, allowing to have battery info at glance

Code:

lsmod | grep bq27

nothing, empty.

Code:

cat /etc/modules

Code:

~ $ cat /etc/modules

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.

#

# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded

# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

# Parameters can be specified after the module name.

Code:

cat /etc/modprobe.d/modules

Code:

can`t open /etc/modprobe.d/modules : no such file or directory

Re: [Announce] bnf - nifty little tool, allowing to have battery info at glance

OK, but this looks like you do not have bq27x00 loaded at all (lsmod) nor should it get loaded (/etc/modules).
@Estel any idea, what could have been the cause instead?

--edit
not important anymore, but ...

Sorry for typo :(, should have been:

Code:

cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Re: [Announce] bnf - nifty little tool, allowing to have battery info at glance

Same...

Code:

cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Code:

can`t open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: no such file or directory

Re: [Announce] bnf - nifty little tool, allowing to have battery info at glance

OK, that just means you have no blacklist (modules to not be loaded).

No idea, but if it disappeared after reboot and never returned again + no one else (who haven't loaded bq27x00_battery, this way or another) experience it, I suspect USRERROR failure in main executive process :p

Quick message...
Can something similar be done to output complete information about touchscreen? Its information includes temperature, as well. It's nifty to be able to know temperature without looking around for a thermometer or alarm clock.
Thank you for bnf.
Best wishes.

Whoa, wasn't aware of temperature sensor inside touchscreen controller. Frankly, I'm afraid it would tell more about whole device's ground plane temperature (maybe degree or two lower than one reported by battery gauge), rather than ambient one...

Still, it looks interesting, even though i don't have slightest idea where to start, and if/how we can access such info via i2c bus. will try to ask some knowledgeable folks (as you may know from readme and documentation, bnf is based on research and proof-of-concepts/usable tools by ShadowJK). don't get your hopes right, but will check what could be done.

Estel - and the rest: This should be part of the "Settings", as an application that you were to run every time you changed battery - and maybe even included the possibility of storing the capacity of more than one battery, allowing you to change.

Technology will develop, new batteries will be made that have higher capacity, just as cheap ones will be made without the same production quality and with lesser capacity. Now someone of us should make a GUI for "learning battery characteristics", save these and set the charge HW correctly. Every battery has a specific "profile", both related to discharge capability and charging, sorry, but i have been lectured on this and get this right will have much more impact than odd tweaks.

Your use of names cause amusement: check computer science what "bnf" means (is an abbreviation for, hint: compiler theory..). The reason for this tool is called "evolution" - but that name is taken. Lets try to get the app going. I can do some coding (C/C++, Perl, Shell), but need help with the GUI. Who is willing to help?
