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.
