Brightness auto adjusting to ambient light level

This is general talk area for things that NOT RELATED WITH TV! Instead, about internal works like web site, forum, wiki, or talking, etc...

!- I learn that If you start with @ sign, you cannot post that message -!
@sbav1 I think this as command line program... Easier to run/debug :)

@tom_van I moved to general section.
Yes you warned. Dongle working this days without crystal. But sometime it's not. Stability might come with xtall but I couldn't make it run with Xtall yet.
Also got something like flickering (using 10 time refresh per sec). Specially on night, does it because incandescent lamp. I think it's due read value is border line of the backlight. Will digg this. And I also find similar device at sparkfun. With small hack, we could also use that $10 device...

Here is the sample code:

Code: Select all

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>

#include <usb.h>

		};
   printf("/dev/mem opened.\n");
   fflush(stdout);
	map_base = mmap(0, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, BACK_LIGHT_REG & ~MAP_MASK);

				}

			int err_cnt=0;

					printf( "Error : %s", *strerror(read) );

					if( err_cnt++ > 100);
						break;
					}

				unsigned sensor_data = buffer[0];// convert 10 bit buffer to uint16_t
				sensor_data = sensor_data << 8;			// little endian
				sensor_data += (unsigned char)buffer[1];

					}
				usleep( 100000 );
				}
			usb_close( usb_handle );
			}
		}
	}
	return 0;
}
Edit: avr chip code just put 2 byte light sensor value, which is 1023 maximum (10 bit). But couldn't cleaned code yet.

do you guys plan to use this devices on c-series too?
the kernel has some filter for device classes.

maybe you just need to know :)

Off course, even on D series.
I am interested with that filtering subject.
Which restrictions they have?
It's good to complain about those at meeting*.

erdem: I commited http://samygo.svn.sourceforge.net/viewv ... iew=markup
for your reference. We should unify method of usb access. Does GenericHID have better chance to pass a filter in C-series on not?

Quite high refresh freq. I take a sample once a second and use "lazy rounding". Haven't experienced any flickerig since using I2C write to LocalDimmer.
Does not interfere your test program with writes from exeDSP to the same register?

Nice kitty. But again soft-only usb.

My device is genericHID (gamepad) device, already.
For rounding, it's better to handle it on MCU code.

Also I wanted to have "responsive" light sensor. When I open the light, wanted to see update on live. Not once at every second :)
I used continuous update before. Than lowered to 10 per sec later :)
I believe it's not related with exeDSP since disabled even dynamic contrast...

It would be better only if MCU outputs final value to write into backlight register.
As we both do some math is TV sw, the final value should be protected from digital noise.

Perfectly ergonomic autobright would follow your pupillary light reflex, not real light. So there is no such hury...

There must be a lot of redundant PS3 jailbreak dongles (AT90USB based) which could be adapted for this purpose.

Re the filtering, what class of device is the Skype camera I wonder?

looks like the skype cam has extra handling based on vid/pid (see: drivers/usb/core/devio.c MOIP_* stuff)

As I understand, they just filter PID/VID.
It's configurable on V-USB approach. :D
I don't know if it's same on hardware based MCUs.

If we could produce a code for an ordinary webcam to use skype at our TV's (not needed to be HD resolution), it's a big movement. :)
