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.
