small ticking sound
Hi: this is not a question about openinkpot itself, but it is related somehow. My hanlin makes a small ticking sound 2-3 seconds after displaying a page. It is not very loud, but clearly audible in silence. It's not the system "pip", it's just 2-3 seconds AFTER refreshing page and kind of bothering. anybody else? May be a hardware fault for my reader, but...
now comes the relationship to openinkpot. This ticking sound does not happen with OI, only with "official" firmwares. Question (curiosity) for developers: is different the way OI handles screen than official firmwares? looks like official firmware is refreshing it in a different (and bothering for my reader) way |

I have the BeBook (Hanlin V3-clone) and it never ticked, before or after OI.

I noticed this on my Cybook using official firmware (haven't tried OI). I always assumed this was some part of the display or controller doing something that, well, ticks.
