Re: GPSToday UPDATE 11/04/08
I'm running it today set as:
NoPowerSuspend 1
BlankDisplay 1
This is what it does...
If it wakes up, you see the S2U2 screen for the timeout seconds (defaults to 17s) after which the screen blanks, but S2U2 doesn't power down the CPU... after your Windows "on battery" or "on AC" timeout time is reached, WinMo will power down the CPU.
If GPSToday woke it up, it should stay powered up until it gets a fix or gives up, then it will power off after the idle...
So, with an idle time of 1 minute in WinMo I am buring at worst 40-60ma/h or about 1ma for the 1 minute with cpu on and screen off. Plus whatever GPS Today burns getting the fix.
Yesterday ran from 7 am until 5:30pm 30 minute fix and battery was at 66% at 5:30 - that was without the backlight timeout. Still, it logged 18 fixes in those 9 hours, so that's not horrible.
I'm running it today with acbpower logging the power drain
