Problem with display.sh ?

[dpetx]

Hello.
I'm in the process of building the radio by this project. But I do not want to build it based on the router but the motherboard from the notebook. For now, I ran the display and tuning. For testing I use Debian (for now)
I have a problem with the speed performance of the script display2.sh (or interface.sh - I'm not sure). Script runs very slowly - sends data TITLE, NAME to display approximately every 2 minutes. I do not know where the problem is.
Once unlocked display echoes on the local console is the same.

Sorry for my English.

Wow, interesting problem! I would try to get the display2.sh script working by itself first.

You will need to uncomment the #stty line towards the top of the script (normally interface.sh takes care of this).

If the updates are still slow, try adding some echo statements at various points in the script to see if it is stalling in a particular place.

It might be interesting to see if "sleep 1" waits for one second, as intended, or some other amount on your system.

It looks that the "sleep 1" in my case means 1 minute. Data is sent exactly once every minute. The documentation shows that the default is 1 second, I do not understand how this change.
I hope that the target system (openwrt) will be fine.
Currently I'm trying to compile openwrt for x86, unfortunately, ineffective.

I find this very puzzling.

If you execute "sleep 1" from your Debian shell, how long does it take for the command to run?

From the Debian manual page:

Code: Select all

SLEEP(1)                         User Commands                        SLEEP(1)

NAME
       sleep - delay for a specified amount of time

SYNOPSIS
       sleep NUMBER[SUFFIX]...
       sleep OPTION

DESCRIPTION
       Pause for NUMBER seconds.  SUFFIX may be `s' for seconds (the default),
       `m' for minutes, `h' for hours or `d' for days.  Unlike most  implemen-
       tations  that require NUMBER be an integer, here NUMBER may be an arbi-
       trary floating point number.  Given two or more  arguments,  pause  for
       the amount of time specified by the sum of their values.

It's strange, "sleep 1" is performed exactly in the 1s. Appropriately such as "sleep 5" stops for 5 seconds, I'm confused ... It seems that the command "sleep" is responding properly.
