XCSoar and HP312
Is there an easy way to keep the back light on when using XCSOAR and the
HP312, mine keeps reverting to back light off. I have tried setting it on in the Road mode. Max |

Max Here's what a friend gave me. I have tried this and it works, but if you let the 310 boot without the SD card in the slot, you will have to do portions of this over again. I keep a print out of this in my cockpit, just in case I boot without the card accidentally. To set the backlight of the iPaq on: From Windows CE desktop, Start - Settings - Control Panel Open "Backlight Control" and set High backlight (max) You don't need to change timeouts in the two upper boxes, because those values are controlled by "Display Properties". Exit "Backlight Control". Open "Power Properties". Powerscheme: AC Power set to "Never" all controls. Exit "Power Properties". Open "Display Properties" Select "Backlight" tag Select "Automatically turn off backlight while on external power", and set it to 30 minutes, then exit with Ok. Open again "Display Properties" Select "Backlight" tag DESELECT "Automatically turn off backlight while on external power". Exit with Ok. Open "Backlight control" again, you will see that "AC power and device is idle for" box is now EMPTY, correctly. Don't do anything . Press Ok. |

Many thanks it now works perfectly Max- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - There is an alpha version of the software with an automatic backlight control for the HP 31x PND devices. Hopefully it will be fully released soon and then you won't have to do all these gyrations to keep the backlight on. |
