#12794 energy saving mode.

Is there any way to prevent the control unit from going to sleep when there is no action? . Mid race I went to take my dog for a walk. Smartrace is connected and timing my lap but the control unit still went to sleep.
Presumably the control unit does not think that Bluetooth activity is an actual activity.

Hi Tim,

this is not something that can be controlled from the software. If the CU doesn't detect any action on the track for a certain time, it goes stand-by. AFAIK there is an european law which requires this from hardware manufacturers to save energy.

European law ! I'm a Brexiteer ! However, I have found a workaround. Going to sleep is a function of the transformer. If it detects no activity on a speed controller for 20 minutes it goes to sleep. By taping down an unsused controller's plunger it never goes to sleep.My tablet is specifically for smartrace and I want it always on and race ready.
