Hello Peeps.
I am reactivating this thread as I'd like to also mess a bit with the kindle's sleep state in my system:
I am running a server on a raspberry pi and a kindle ( PW2 and PW1 ) which is connected to this raspberry pi via wifi and also usb.
The usb connection is also the charger for the kindle.
Whenever the raspberry is shutdown the kindle is not charged of course.
The kindle runs a small python server which can run various scripts. Mainly to display data read from the raspberry.
So after the raspberry has finished booting it will usually call one script via:
Code:
curl -s 10.10.10.155:8000/startScript/1
with 10.10.10.155 being the kindle's ip.
Problem is obviously that the kindle is usually in suspended mode and can not be automatically woken up by the raspberry it seems.
Reading up on the posts here it seems that the only way to keep the kindle responsible is to prevent the suspend state.
However in that case I would lose the charge after some hours and the device would be off anyways as it only gets charged when the raspberry is powered as well.
So I am thinking that maybe I could try to send some kind of usb-signal from the raspberry to wake the kindle from a suspended state.
Would this work?
