My Squeezebox Touch used to be able to be put to sleep using the power button on the steering wheel controls (of course it only paused it and switched the screen off) and the stock infra-red remote control functions,and could then be woken up directly into playing the last song just by hitting the play button.As you have to manually initiate full shut down from the touch screen,but then it boots up automatically when you apply power to it,can the shut down not be initiated by a few lines of code via USB and then let it power up normally? For some strange reason the configuration for the Flirc and Joggler won't allow the power button to work.Īs I said above,I'm trying to keep this all as simple as possible,hence resisting the temptation right from the start to just jump right in with a full car PC set up.The only thing that might be of any use to me is the Joycon EX USB Remote.My steering wheel controls don't use resistive switching as they are,but could easily enough be converted to work this way if needed.But it seems that they are no longer made,so I'd have to wait for one to come up second hand I guess? Have a look here at this project done for the Joggler. These are not tablets though and the screens are from 7" to 19" in the wall. I can wake them by touching the the screens. On the other hand here also utilize low power Aopen Digital Engines for touch screens. They run with less power when the screen is off. They are scheduled to go off from the mothership every night at a certain time. They typically are in screen saver mode or the screen goes off. Here I have some 20+ Jogglers throughout the house. The Joggler was meant to be always connected to the Internet, much like many devices today that do not have an off button. I can wake up the XBMC boxes with the IR remotes. Each have a pico PSU with a timed shutdown configuration. The have 1.2Ghz VIA Epia motherboards.Ĭurrently have the two automobiles set up with these cases - M350's - much smaller and easier to set up. They are sitting around the house some place. They look nice though (but I never look at them anyways). Over the years have purchased a few things from Mini-Box dot com. I couldn't replicate the suspend wakeup though afterwards. I was able to wake up the Openframe 7 (with the battery) once a while ago. This is where you can utilize an automotive standard with USB power supply.ĭCDC-USB, Intelligent buck-boost DC-DC converter with USB interface. Plug the Joggler into a wall socket and suspend it. So you can have a structured shutdown and a power reboot on them. You can only do a system shutdown, power it off and power it on. You can put it to sleep but it will not ever wake with whatever you do with any externally connected USB input device. Fully automatic wake up/go to sleep with the ignition key just like a 'proper' car head unit does every time I put the ignition key in or take it out.Can this be done using the keyboard method (or some sort of keyboard emulator) via a USB input?
