7 segment display off?

[Stevenb01]

Is there a way to have the 7 segment display turn off after a disk image selection is made? I have mine installed in a pretty nice Yamaha upright piano and the Gotek display is super bright and kind of distracting.

Guess not

Guess not

Be patient : Will be possible in the next release

Oh good! Thanks!!!

Do you know if this option was implemented? Do I just need to update the firmware?

Not yet sorry. I will try to implement this in the next week.

How do you turn off the very bright 7-segment Gotek display, preferrably with an auto-delay that turns it off after a certain time of non-use? I can't find any setting for this or see anything in the documentation.

Also, is there a way to dim the display instead of turning it completely off? Thanks!

Has any progress been made on providing auto turn-OFF capability for the 7-segment display and /or controlling its brightness?
The TM1651 LED driver has built-in 8-level brightness functionality according to the datasheet...

I will check but i think that the brightness is already set at its minimum level.

Thank you, Jeff!

As a suggestion, auto-OFF would probably be as good as, or better than, auto-dimming, anyway.

Also, please consider that a 7- to 10-second delay (fixed or programmable) before auto-off (after last activity) would be ideal, and that the very first Gotek interaction (e.g. +button/-button/rotary button/+rotary/-rotary event) when display is off should MERELY TURN DISPLAY BACK ON and NOT change previously inserted diskimage. (Of course, disk activity/insertUSB/removeUSB even should turn display back on, too).

Your assistance and amazing HxC are very much appreciated!

i really don't like this display off idea, this can be problematic with some usages. This make you think that the unit is not working/not powered/crashed or something like this. i think i will keep at least a dot on to show that the unit is powered but in standby.

Is your Gotek drive visible all the time while you play, or could you physically reposition it inside the piano to reduce glare?
