Title: Tiny TV Remote Power ON-OFF
Post by: jgavlik on July 21, 2022, 03:05:17 PM

Question....does either the remote control or OLED push button actually turn power OFF; i.e., no battery power to the circuitry...or...does this simply blank the display as in display.off()

Only the power switch on the bottom left disconnects the power completely. The bottom left button and remote just turn off the screen.

I hope that helps!

Thanks,
Réna

Réna,

Then based on your comments, can one assume that this is the part of the code that does the Tiny TV ON-OFF without the power switch?

-john

  if (IRresult == powerCode || checkNewButtonPress(TSButtonLowerLeft)) {
    if (!isOff) {
      if (!isStopped()) {
        requestPause();
        delay(10);
        display.endTransfer();
      }
      display.off();
      isOff = true;
    } else {
      display.on();
      if (!isStopped()) {
        display.goTo(0, 0);
        display.startData();
        requestUnPause();
      }
      isOff = false;
    }
  }

Yes, that's it.
