Pironman 5 max vibration sensor doesn't turn on oled

General Discussion

Hi everyone,

today I put together a Pironman 5 Max and a RPi 5 (8GB). I copied the SD Card (Raspian) to NVMe. The SD card was flashed a few days ago. Now the system is running from NVMe.

Everything is working as far as I can tell. The OLED is also working. But after the timeout turns off the OLED (default=10s), I cannot “shake” it back to life (vibrations sensor). It just stays dark.

I can bring the OLED back to life with a brief press on the power button, but a shake don’t work.

The jumper (IOExpander: J4) is on.

Do I need to change a setting somewhere in order for the vibration sensor to wake-up the OLED?

Thanks

I dont think there is one in the max.. see this chat..

I saw this thread but that’s about the Pro Max and I have the Max.

See SunFounder documentation:

In the Pro Max documentation is no mention of Wake-Up Trigger in the Hardware - IOExpander section.

After we upgraded the Pironman 5 Max software to version 1.3.6, the OLED screen is now awakened by a short press of the power button instead of the tap/vibration switch. Currently, the vibration switch is left unused.

To reduce the occupation of the Raspberry Pi’s IO pins and avoid potential IO conflicts, we recommend removing the jumper cap on the vibration switch.

Ok, great. I’ll take the Jumper off. Thanks for the info!

May I suggest to put this info into the documentation?

cheers
