Is it still possible to make the chess board bigger in the latest version 2014-12 ?
I don't see how..
Thanks

There is a splitter between board and notation. You can move it.

Wow, that's great.

uQC\x9e\t\x00\x01\x00t\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' > /dev/input/event0

hi KevinShort,
I'm interested in simulating the poweroff action (i.e. long press of power slider) on kobo glo.
If I launch your command from a telnet shell or a script, it actually triggers the stand-by. Do you think it would be possible (with another code, or just executing N times in a row the command) to simulate the real switch off ot the reader?
Thanks

why not just use the poweroff command

poweroff -h
poweroff: invalid option -- 'h'
BusyBox v1.22.0.kobo (2013-06-07 09:01:34 EDT) multi-call binary.

Usage: poweroff [-d DELAY] [-n] [-f]

Halt and shut off power

-d SEC Delay interval
-n Do not sync
-f Force (don't go through init)

because I would use the switchoff in the "nickel" context, i.e.: save gracefully the nickel DB and use the nickel poweroff screen (book cover).

UPDATE:
I think I found it:

#poweroff:
echo -ne "\xfe\x0f\xc5\x54\xff\x6a\x0d\x00\x01\x00\x74\x00\x01\x00\x00" > /dev/input/event0
#standby (or wakeup when in standby):
echo -ne "\xf0\x0f\xc5\x54\x3c\xe0\x0d\x00\x01\x00\x74\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\xf1\x0f\xc5\x54\x8e\xe3\x02\x00\x01\x00\x74\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" > /dev/input/event0

I would *hope* that nickel does the right thing when catching a SIGTERM when you ask for a shutdown the usual *nix way, so at least the DB aspect of it *should* be safe.

(I've been using reboot/shutdown -r now without ill effect so far, FWIW).

I think that Qt web is a good idea. But I have not enough free time to implement it myself. Of cause, I can help if somebody starts this work. The most difficult place is visual on-screen keyboard.

What if we didn't need a keyboard at all? I'm using the experiment browser for an application but I don't use a keyboard at all. This works but I would like to start and stop the browser from a telnet terminal. The html file is loaded from localhost and information and control is loaded through JSONP calls.

@Bob: It's possible that you might want to install a fuller linux on your device. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=247920

@Peter: I have three H2Os and I don't want to crack them open to get access to the internal SD card because I'm afraid it would damage the waterproof case. I'm also afraid to brick them without access to the SD card. I will buy an standard cased Aura for development work and I'll give that a try down the road. In the mean time I have a deadline on this project so I'm scratching around looking for what is easy.

I need to protect the screen with an external piece of glass and I would like to get complete control of the unit via WiFi telnet. It seems like that should be doable but maybe I'll need to load the debian linux to get there?

[PeterT]

The Aura does not have an internal SD card.

[Bob Brunius]

Good to know.

[Ken Maltby]

The AuraHD has an internal sd card and the same screen resolution/size as your H2O.

Luck;
Ken
