standby mode or wiimote sleeping

[snaker@…]

hi

A very nice feature will be the posibility of the wiimote turn off if timeout idle limit and wminput standby waiting for connection then when the user push button A or 1+2 restore the communication.

Thanks for your work, sorry my poor english

[nickishappy]

This would be easy once ticket:15 was implemented. There could be a command line option to specify the timeout, and when it sees the wiimote wants to connect again wminput makes sure it uses the same config file. I don't think the wiimote has an actual "sleep" mode, so this sounds more like a request for an idle timeout feature.

[dsmith]

ditto. Basically, this can be implemented identically to #15, or by detecting the power button, which has not yet been reverse engineered.

[snaker@…]

ok

if you run wminput in daemon mode using a script you can disconnect wiimote by hand but wminput could turn off wiimote when pass idle time, i dont know if this feature is implemented but i havent found this.

[dsmith]

Nope, not implemented, but shouldn't be too hard. We'll add it to the queue.

[xkill]

A posible solution patch. When lost wiimote connectivity it trys again.

Added always trying. -a option.

Apply the patch:

So now you can do: wminput -a -w -c in_ptr [your wii mac]

and you can connect alleays ;)

[xkill]

Now there is another problem, the wiimote always connect to the computer, but sometimes I need to connect to the wii, but it's imposible. So there is another patch to implement wait time between turn off and rediscover:

96a100,108

Thanks for your patches - I should have time to take a look at them this weekend.

[dsmith]

I'm not sure how this is supposed to work...from the looks of your patch, SIGINT always kills wminput, but SIGTERM does not. I think SIGTERM and SIGINT should always kill the app, and another signal (SIGUSR1, maybe) should be sent on wiimote error, causing main to loop.

[xkill]

OK, now I capture SIGINT (ctrl+c), SIGTERM (kill) and SIGUSR1 to exit.

This is the complete patch:

Sorry, the before post is OK, but with spaggueti code ;) I think that is better to remove the lines added to ignore this signals.

I prefer to catch the signals but without ignore it.

So I remove the lines

[...]
sigset_t sigset;
int signum, ret=0;
[...]
                /* wait */
                sigemptyset(&sigset);
                sigaddset(&sigset, SIGTERM);
                sigaddset(&sigset, SIGINT);
                sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &sigset, NULL);
                sigwait(&sigset, &signum);
[...]

Have you tested this code? Reread my previous post: SIGINT and SIGTERM should exit. Send a SIGUSR1 should not (directly) exit - send SIGUSR1 from cwiid_callback to cause main to loop if always == true. And put semwait back in - polling is bad form, and as you have it implemented, the main loop will continuously reinitialize itself.

wminput main.c

[dsmith]

I implemented a daemon patch that (I think) takes care of what you're going for here. It doesn't implement standby, so it seemed to fit in #15 more than here.

[nickishappy]

This functionality now exists with various options added to wminput.
