Could you also run the /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s when your monitor is on?

cowboysdude

@alexyak I did … I posted it above LOL

/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s

I get this:
state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (16) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

@cowboysdude on the RPI.

@alexyak /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s

I get this:
state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (16) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

That’s where I was running it from and I still get the above

alexyak

@cowboysdude so just to confirm, when you run the status command on the RPI you get this output, right?

cowboysdude

@alexyak Yes that is correct

cowboysdude

Is it logging anywhere that we may be able to see what it’s doing exactly?

alexyak

It’s logging in the terminal window that you use to start the mirror with npm start. You can also start the mirror with “npm start dev” with dev tools and there will be the output from the chromium.

/home/pi$ /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o
Powering off HDMI
/home/pi$ /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s
state 0x120002 [TV is off]

That is off
/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7
Turns it back on… no problem…this is the tvservice -s when it’s on…

state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (16) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

So somewhere it’s broken in the module itself… it does turn it off [even if you’re standing in front of it moving…which means to me it’s not taping into the camera looking for motion] but not back on… I know the camera is working I’ve taken pictures with it…

So what is getting lost after it turns off? And how or where can I look to see what it’s loggin? I can’t look at the terminal window when it’s off because to do that you’d have to turn it back on… and you can’t.
