Just a line to update the details of the guide for pitft 2.8 about how to turning off the blank screen timeout on console.
Setting BLANK_TIME=0 in /etc/kbd/config doesn't work for me (jessy adafruit img + pitft 2.8 capacitive touch)
so I found that /sys/module/kernel/parameters/consoleblank kernel parameter is still active by default (value = 600 = 10min)
To change the blanking of the screen on console just append the line consoleblank=0 to the /boot/cmdline.txt and restart!
- Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /boot/cmdline.txt
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait fbcon=map:10 fbcon=font:VGA12x6 consoleblank=0
pi@raspberrypi ~ $
Now the blank time is disabled!
