Auto mode does not work well as it switches off when voltage drops momentarily. Care must be taken not to over-charge. It was used with a bike hub dynamo since a year or so. In that case there are automatically charging stops when the cyclist needs a break. ========= > > > It was used with a bike hub dynamo since a year or so.

Is ignoring over-current good idea? The data sheet refers to a flag "HSEN" which is "Heat Save function enable". your guess is as good as mine. We don't currently have any code for responding to warnings. Maybe we should. For now this feature is "use at your own risk" - and one person has found it very useful. > > > @@ -650,6 +684,8 @@ twl4030_bci_mode_store(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, > > mode = 0; > > else if (sysfs_streq(buf, modes[1])) > > mode = 1; > > + else if (sysfs_streq(buf, modes[2])) > > + mode = 2; > > Time for loop? When we get one more mode it will be :-) Thanks, NeilBrown
