As far as I can tell, Kobo's battery meter has significant drift based on your charging habits. If you try to follow the guidance of keeping the battery between 25 - 75%, the meter starts to think that 75% charged is 100% charged, because it never goes above that point. I now have a > 20% disparity between what the battery icon reports and what the voltage indicates about the charge level. I'll try doing a full charge next time to see if I can get them to line up again.

I have obviously missed doing something basic in trying to set this up on my libra 2. What am I doing wrong?

My guess would be that you copied the script into a text editor that uses Windows line endings (CRLF), instead of Linux line endings (LF). You need to use a different text editor, such as Notepad++, to convert the script to Linux line endings. I use MadEdit for such purposes, myself.

Here is what is available for Kobo Clara HD in battcalc.sh:
Code:
# Battery Statistics Calculator 1.1 (2024-05-25) by Aleron Ives # Modified for Kobo Clara HD by mergen3107 # This script calculates battery statistics for the Kobo Libra 2. # Check the contents of /sys/class/power_supply/ if you use a different # model to ensure that the statistics you want to track are available. # # You can use NickelMenu to invoke this script like so: # menu_item :main :Battery :cmd_output :500 :/mnt/onboard/.adds/battcalc.sh # Gather the necessary statistics meter=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/mc13892_bat/capacity) v_now=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/mc13892_bat/voltage_now) health=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/mc13892_bat/health) temp=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/mc13892_bat/temp) # Format the statistics let v_now/=1000; let temp/=10; echo Capacity: $meter % echo Voltage: $v_now mV echo Health: $health echo Temperature: $temp °C Thanks everyone for NickelMenu and this script! |

What does the voltage claim to be if you charge to 100% and then use the Clara for a little while? You'll probably see a nonsensical value like 4.8 V at first, but once it drops, you may be able to estimate what v_max is in order to do the voltage calculations.

Rescan books (full)
I see two possible options in NickelMenu Documentation for 'to rescan books'
Code:
menu_item : library : Import books : nickel_misc : rescan_books_full Code:
menu_item : library : ??? : nickel_misc : rescan_books |

menu_item:<location>:<label>:<action>:<arg> menu_item Adds a menu item. <label> you can give a name for the item (command/shortcut), e.g. Import Books <location> You can choose where to put the location of the item main - a new item will be added to the tabs on the bottom-right of Kobo main page/homepage reader - the overflow menu in the reader/reading page browser - the menu in the bottom-right of the web browser library - the menu in the filter bar for the "My Books" and "My Articles" library <action> nickel_misc <arg> rescan_books_full so, Code:
menu_item : library : Import books : nickel_misc : rescan_books_full The command rescan_book_full means that Kobo will scan all its folders to display the new file if exist. This action imitates Kobo's action when ejected from the PC after sideloading book or after take a screenshot. Quote:

1. What does the command 'rescan_books' mean? 2. Is there any possibility to tell NickelMenu that scanning should be done in a particular folder only? (I would like to hide from NickelMenu a folder with FB2 books for KOReader) |

When you install KOReader, I hope you make a step to prevent Nickel from scanning *nix hidden folders. So Kobo won't scan the folder like .adds folder (KOReader folder is located under .adds folder) |

- OK, I saw your information about 'rescan_books_full' command. - But there is also 'rescan_books' command, which meaning I don't know. - Would you please clarify this command?

rescan_books: forces nickel to rescan books (4.13.12638+)
rescan_books_full: forces a full usb connect/disconnect cycle (4.13.12638+) Kindly refer to PGaskin document for Nickelmenu configuration: https://github.com/pgaskin/NickelMen...master/res/doc The update of koreader only updates the koreader-related settings folder and files, it does not touch the user library folder on .adds/koreader. Ref: Backing up your KOReader settings on https://koreader.rocks/user_guide/#tips Kobo firmware update: You may need to update kfmon on Koreader after the Kobo firmware update if you use kfmon as KOReader launcher (OCP KOReader installation). Nickelmenu survives the Kobo firmware update Quote:

Also, as it pertains to the original worry, (mostly, see next §) nothing will ever actually delete stuff in .adds automatically besides a factory reset, so I dunno why you'd ever be worried about updates.
More importantly, since the `ExcludeSyncFolders` stuff became necessary, actually putting book content in a non-standard folder like .adds *will* put it at risk of Nickel cleaning it up if you ever bork your regexp. TL;DR: Yeah, don't do that on current FW versions. Last edited by NiLuJe; 06-17-2024 at 03:53 PM. |
