So, switching it off at the PC end ought not to make a noticeable difference? I suppose you could add an on-off switch to the adapter cable but then - no offence inended - if you're in the habbit of leaving your remotes connected all the time will you remember to use that switch?Yes, but Tommy Tyler wrote:Connecting everything to a PC does not change the measured battery current...

Well yes, that's not going to do it. Its not that I intend to leave it plugged in all the time, its just that when I'm looking for bugs in assembly language sometimes it takes so long, that I forget that I have it plugged in.underquark wrote: So, switching it off at the PC end ought not to make a noticeable difference?

This new cable supplies so much power, that when I take out one of the batteries, the remote still partially works. I get into the low voltage warning loop, so the led's keep double flashing when I press the keys!
Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.
Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.

Have you thought of allowing the operating system to shut off either the device or the hub where its connected?vickyg2003 wrote:Well yes, that's not going to do it.
