Then i modified the weather svg to match PW1 resolution.
I got stuck at the power management. I didn't want to keep my kindle usb connected all the time, so i wanted a solution to create a loop that wakes up kindle every 30-60 minutes and updates the weather and then put it to sleep/low power mode. After a lot of investigations, i found https://github.com/snowtechblog/avakindle that may give a solution using rtcwake. But i put on hold this project for now. |
Do not modify the Amazon image, you are asking for trouble.
Set the library search path (rpath) in your executable to give the path to your libraries.
PS:
You can find the original development of avakindle in this forum.
I guess this is just another example of running out of bytes when it came to giving credit where credit is due.
