Does it work correctly now?

Upss.. I was going to buy it. Anyway, there is only four people wit this issue, maybe this is not a rule... I hope

I have found something interesting on Omega Power Dockt
There is a package to visualize the level of battery charge using board's LEDs. So, if there is a software solution to check the battery - we are one step to make a script to shut down the system when the battery low? Am I right? But how to do it?

I am very impressed with this project, but I wonder Why there is so expensive camera used (over $100)? Is there a special feature you wanted to use?
My second question is - will you public more details on this project? Do you use mjpeg-streamer? As I have read it has some bugs, so maybe that's why camera broadcast freezes?
Thanks in advance for every answer!

Thanks, that makes me happy

Thanks for your reply!
Unfortunately powering down WiFi could not be done in my project, because... I want to use WiFi to send signal to Omega2 informing it to goes asleep
Will see for DC UPS projects (or maybe you have some nice to point them?)

Hello,
I want to configure Omega2 for usb webcam streaming, using recipe for MT7688 chip (for example link )
Is this method using flash memory for writing during the streaming? Because I am afraid about Omega2 flash memory which has only a finite number of read/write cycles

Hello,
My project for Omega2+ will be used in a car. To make the installation easy for everyone I would like to supply it from car lighter socket. Of course, this solution is not perfect (frequent insert/pull the plug by the user, current decays etc.).
I mean problems with Omega2 switching it off without shutdown / suddenly. I also mean how flash memory will stand it.
Will this harm the Omega2?

My second question is about to set Omega2 to state when it uses less power when it has nothing to do? I mean automatically or forced by a script (first to go low when there is nothing to do and then to go high, when the job should be done)?

P.S.
For now, I thing to attach an 18650 cell with booster/charger which will work as a "power buffer" to keep current when the lighter socket is off. But I am afraid that it can keep power only for 1-2 hour, so I wonder if there is a possibility to check the power level of the connected power cell and shut down the system when the power is low? Probably a connection will be needed for that booster to send a signal to Omega2? Or maybe there is any other solution?
