Clara HD Display time when reading

[jamalau]

Hello, if i use Nickelmenue, miniclock don´t toggle, when i use Nightmode, what i have to do, to solve this problem?
Sorry, after reset to factory settings, and a new install, all works fine!
Now i have it tryed on my Aura, and it doesn´t work there, Miniclock doesn´t toggle, and i dont know why. In ereader.conf it´s all fine , it switched InvertScreen=False /true!

@jamalau: Try again with actual clear and concise sentences with proper punctuation and capitalization. You've managed to mush at least 4 different things together, so I have no actual idea what you did and what you think is not working.

I only recently tried out your new 'aggressive_timing' setting. It works OK on my Forma but enabling it on my ClaraHD caused the MiniClock display to keep disappearing. The Clara was fine once I disabled it again.

I finally double-checked on my Forma, and everything looks fine on my end.

So, same questions as usual:

* Try with the latest build
* Was that on KePubs or ePubs?
* What does your config look like?
* What does the debug log has to say about it?

@frostschutz, @NiLuJe

Is it possible to implement toggle MiniClock on and off in NickelMenu?

[NiLuJe]

@Semwize: There's a SIGTERM handler in my fork, but with a twist: it requires "eating" an input event to trigger.

So, technically, yeah, but you'll have to get creative.

Not quite sure how to feed a random event in shell, but evemu can do it, and I happen to ship it in KoboStuff, so forgive me if I don't spend more time on this ;p.

pkill -TERM miniclock.sh && evemu-event /dev/input/event1 --type EV_KEY --code BTN_TOUCH --value 1 --sync

And then to start it, just run the script in a cmd_spawn:

exec /usr/local/MiniClock/miniclock.sh

See the telnet example in the NM docs to build a proper toggle out of that.

@Semwize, @NiLuJe,

What would be the point of toggling MiniClock on/off? If I want to see the date/time/battery info on every page then I want it enabled permanently. If I don't then I'd just want to uninstall it completely.

What am I missing here? What are the circumstances where it might be nice to disable it temporarily?

P.S. @NiLuJe, I'll do the tests you requested tomorrow. Can't face it tonight.

Usually I don’t need a clock on the screen, but when I’m waiting for someone ... Especially a woman who is always late.

Why remove it when you can just turn it off and start it if necessary. By placing in menu_item: reader

No, no, no! You need to stop being too early all the time.

I always want a clock on my screen. It's how I avoid being late

I did the above on my Clara (with aggressive_timing=1) but I don't think it's worth spending any more of your time on debug logs.

After a re-boot or wake-up MiniClock sometimes takes a little while (<60secs) to get in the groove but, after that, it's displaying OK after page turns in kepubs. Epubs are a bit less reliable (especially when paging backwards???) but your config notes do already try to set expectations about epubs.

If I come across a kepub which doesn't behave as well as my current read I'll post a debug log.

@jackie_w: Sounds good, thanks .

I have noted this behaviour too. If I invert screen using the patch check box, the clock matches the screen inversion. If I invert the screen using a NickleMenu option in the book menu, the clock does not follow the inversion - the screen goes black but the background of the clock remains white.

I would like to show my Battery Status along with the Time. How can I do
that ?

I also have InvertScreen as an option on NickelMenu and MiniClock is correctly matching the inversion on both my ClaraHD and Forma.

• Make sure you're using the latest version of MiniClock from post #311.
• Let's see the miniclock.cfg file from your Kobo.

If you haven't already done it read the notes related to battery in the provided sample config file, miniclock.example.cfg.

These are the relevant entries I have used in my own miniclock.cfg file.

format=%H:%M - {battery}
battery_min=0
battery_max=100
battery_source=/sys/devices/platform/pmic_battery.1/power_supply/mc13892_bat/capacity

Your format=... entry will probably be a bit different. The addition of the {battery} bit is what's important.
