@james mutch  My script posted yesterday should turn the pi AND the x708 off. Hence something else is amiss. The rc.local file should only contain: /home/pi/shutdown.sh echo ds1307 0x68 &g...

Hi, I've installed the script and hashtagged all the lines that were in rc.local apart from the last 3. It looks like the shutdown part works after 30 seconds when i pull the power adapter out but...

Thought i would ask another question regarding bluetooth...i seem to be having difficulty connecting to a bluetooth keyboard. The only way i can get it to connect is to have the keyboard directly a...

so the text line that contains echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/new_devicehwclock -s i need to put a hashtag infront of all of these? Any idea what these are? I recently install...

Hi James Regarding the rc.local file: As you can see, the same lines are repeated over and over again. I would place a '#' in front to make them comments. The only lines you need are the last thr...

here is my code for rc.local #!/bin/sh -e## rc.local## This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other# value on err...

Hi George, I did everything you said in the post but for some reason when i run the test and pull the power plug when the pi logo shows it shows a black/blank screen for about 30+ seconds and boot...

@james mutch  Hi James I have managed to cobble together yet another script that has now solved all my problems. This may not work for you, James, but I am posting this for everyone needing...

Hi, 'AUTO ON' mean the x710 will AUTO POWR ON when the AC main power supply is connected, so the external switch is disable when 'AUTO ON'

@Mark Muti  Yes. liPo battery is ok also.

@james mutch  Hi,  I test my method, and It should be effective. . . You can also connect a 20-30 ohm resistor to the red wire in series with the 2P wire of the fan to reduce the voltage.

Apollogies for constant replies as i can't seem to amend my post above to add stuff :/  Anyways... when you said that it has shutdown and won't get a response from command line does this mean...

George.... how long a runtime are you getting with just 2 batteries connected? What is the average time of 2 x 2000mah batteries on this setup running before shutdown?

Hi George, I'm assuming this is the same for when the power supply is still on and connected too much like the battery backup? It really renders my whole setup useless as it doesn't function as a...

@james mutch  Sorry about the delay in replying. You will be able to know that the pi has stopped working (i.e. is turned off) because you will no longer be able to get a response from the c...

I've created the script and done as you've said however, how will i know if it works or not if the normal shutdown or auto-Shutdown is not working? Thanks

@james mutch  Hi James I've written a small script that checks the supply voltage and powers down the pi if the voltage drops to below 3.6V.  This is just one approach. Other are possib...

Hi, Can the fans be controlled? I tried your above method but it's still too noisy and the fans seem to be running 100% is there a program/app that can control this or show me what fans are runnin...

hi,   i would like a follow up with this too! i have my setup with the UPS installed and i'm currently testing to see how long the batteries last before shutdown or complete turn off. Will t...

is the X820 V3.0 compatible with X710 ? and X820 casing ?
