How to control screen light?

[milindbe]

Hi all,

Is there any way to control screen light?

I need to turn screen light back on after it has been
dimmed down while staying idle long enough..

I'm using alpha 1.1.6 2nd ed. fp2

Thanks!

You need the miso library from
http://pdis.hiit.fi/pdis/download/miso/
Then use this code

import miso
miso.reset_inactivity_time()

You can make it always on as well

def light_on():
    import miso, e32
    miso.reset_inactivity_time()
    e32.ao_sleep(10, light_on)  # forever loop
light_on()      # always keep light on

def light_on():
    import miso, e32
    miso.reset_inactivity_time()
    e32.ao_sleep(10, light_on)  # forever loop
light_on()      # always keep light on

This will panic the application if there is a sleep call pending during an application exit.
