Bugzilla – Bug 8187
Brightness changes from ambient light sensor should fade in and out
Last modified: 2010-05-07 10:20:04 UTC
When the brightness level is changed automatically by the ambient light sensor the changes are too sudden at the moment - brightness goes from one level to the next in a sudden, binary step. The wow factor could be increased significantly by having the brightness smoothly ramp up/down from the old level to the next.
Felix slowed it down a bunch, but the jump happens later. Can we slowly ramp up/down?
I think at least some change in brightness should happen as soon as possible when the light level changes. Otherwise, it's too bright in your bedroom for 5 seconds after turning off the light, or unreadable for 5 seconds when you turn on a light.
yes, we can slowly fade, this requires we pwm the annode voltage. Sean or felix needs to work that out.
This won't make it into 7.2
Moving out bug that won't make it for 7.3
Doh, there will be no 7.4 - moving it to 8.0
All new Squeezebox products are likely to be based on the SqueezePlay platform. We do not plan to implement any further enhancements to the ip3k firmware or which are targeted specifically at ip3k-based products.
