Useful script. But script not recognize if screensaver sets on. On screensaver run screen goes to turn off state.

Hello! Trying to customize my 7 inch touchscreen wallpaper. Make an image as 800x480. Copy it to /home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/wallpapers. Send "pcp bu" command. But there is no any additional wallpaper name in jivelite interface. What I did wrong?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer and automatic screen brightness control.
Sorry friends, but my English is not so good. I see one problem. I haven't files: Code: . /var/www/cgi-bin/pcp-functions . /var/www/cgi-bin/pcp-lms-functions I think it because my PCP uses network LMS on NAS. As I think that files are part of local LMS. Or I'm be in error?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer and automatic screen brightness control.
Hello, jd68. Thank you for answer. I think 337MB must be enough. Script running. I'm sure. I checked it by deleting symbol # at showed strings. Displayed numbers changes if I set the light near sensor. I think touchscreen brightness must have two stages: one for turned off PCP and another for PCP that plays music. If PCP turned off maximum and minimum brightness of screen must be lower. As I remember Touchbox had special string in menu for screen brightness called "Reduce on screensaver".

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer and automatic screen brightness control.
I made it! But I've got some troubles. First of all, python script doesn't run. When I add "smbus-python3.6.tcz" it's moved to uninstalled list. Now I'm using .sh script. It's work. But minimal brightness sets by program even I turn on piCorePlayer and brightness in room is so low. I use next variables: Code: #!/bin/sh WDIR=/home/tc/lux # if the measured value is below MIN_THRESHOLD then the display is set to MIN_BRIGHTNESS MIN_THRESHOLD=1 MIN_BRIGHTNESS=20 # if the measured value is above MAX_THRESHOLD then the display is set to MAX_BRIGHTNESS MAX_THRESHOLD=400 MAX_BRIGHTNESS=150 LUX_RANGE=`echo "$MAX_THRESHOLD-$MIN_THRESHOLD" | bc` BRIGHTNESS_RANGE=`echo "$MAX_BRIGHTNESS-$MIN_BRIGHTNESS" | bc` STEPSIZE=$(echo "scale=2 ; $LUX_RANGE/$BRIGHTNESS_RANGE" | bc -l | cut -f1 -d\.); # time interval between two measurements INTERVAL=5 # Debugging ... echo `date` > $WDIR/deleteme # Let's wait until pCP is up & running sleep 20 while true; do # Measuring the current LUX value LUX=$($WDIR/lux) # Calculating the target brightness of the display if [ $LUX -lt $MIN_THRESHOLD ]; then TRGT=$MIN_BRIGHTNESS elif [ $LUX -gt $MAX_THRESHOLD ]; then TRGT=$MAX_BRIGHTNESS else TRGT=$(echo "$MIN_BRIGHTNESS+(($LUX-$MIN_THRESHOLD)/$STEPSIZE)" | bc -l | cut -f1 -d\.); fi # Setting the brightness value of the display echo $TRGT > /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness # Uncomment for debugging & testing #echo $LUX #echo $TRGT # Wait some seconds before the next calculation sleep $INTERVAL done It because my Raspberry Pi stay in equipment rack.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer and automatic screen brightness control.
*jd68, *there are two kinds of light sensor on market, based on BH1750 and BH1750FVI. Is it principal, what kind of sensor uses manufacturer? And I found 'two ' (https://aliexpress.ru/item/1549533510.html)models of sensors: GY-30 and GY-302. First sensor has dimensions 32.6x15.1 mm. As you sayed sizes of GY-30 is closed to your recomendations. First of all I need to buy something to realize my wishes.

[SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer and automatic screen brightness control.
Hello community! I'm using Raspberry Pi 3+ with official 7 inch touchscreen in official case for all of this. It's working, playing music so well. But in one thing Squeezebox Touch was better. In darkness the screen of Touch becomes darker. There are so many sensors in market that can drive the brightness of screen. For example 'Yocto-Light' (http://www.yoctopuce.com/EN/article/automated-brightness-control-for-the-raspberry-pi), 'cheap Chinese sensor' (http://www.uugear.com/portfolio/using-light-sensor-module-with-raspberry-pi/) and many others. Does piCorePlayer can control the brightness of screen based on external light? May be it's already has a lib or programs to do this? I'm so sorry if my questions seems you so stupid. Sorry for my English too. It's my first steps on raspberry pi DIY.
