########################################################################################## VEHPI-4: Calculate Battery life at max power consumption ########################################################################################## Issue Type: Sub-task ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Issue Information ==================== Priority: Major Status: Closed Resolution: Won't Fix (2019-09-09 16:24:44) Project: VehManPi (VEHPI) Reported By: btasker Assigned To: btasker Child of: VEHPI-2 - Source Hardware Time Estimate: 0 minutes Time Logged: 0 minutes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Issue Description ================== Based on the power supply rating, we need to calculate the lifetime of the car battery if the system is running whilst the car is sat for a prolonged period. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Activity ========== ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013-12-24 10:43:07 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- btasker changed status from 'Open' to 'In Progress' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013-12-24 10:43:07 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- btasker added 'Ben Tasker' to assignee ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013-12-24 10:46:05 btasker ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As part of testing, have removed the power supply from the powered hub. Currently, running from the 1A power supply powering the Pi is - WLAN adapter - GPS dongle Haven't yet tried a reboot to ensure that the GPS is able to get a fix with the available power (though it should be able to) but the maximum possible power consumption at the moment is 1A, meaning a 70A/h battery will power the system for 70 hours. However, due to authentication issues with the access point (which is definitely the AP and not the Pi at fault) the Wifi isn't currently connected. Need to test that it can establish and maintain a connection. Will need to run a similar test once VEHPI-13 is implemented ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2019-09-09 16:24:45 btasker ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bulk Close. Realistically, project isn't going to see any further development so closing as Won't Fix ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2019-09-09 16:24:45 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- btasker changed status from 'In Progress' to 'Closed' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2019-09-09 16:24:45 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- btasker added 'Won't Fix' to resolution
