Why does our #BL602 Light Sensor work only in Sunlight? I'm guessing: 1️⃣ Because our LED is Blue 2️⃣ Sunlight is intense (especially in Singapore)

Need to enable ADC Gain when reading the #BL602 LED ... By modding the BL602 ADC HAL source code 🙄

Yep #PineCone #BL602's Blue LED works as a Light Sensor (I think) ... But only in Sunlight 🤔

Can we turn #PineCone #BL602's LED into a Light Sensor ... By reading it with ADC? 🤔

@lucifargundam hmmm I don't think so. An RTOS is very very different from something like linux or even MacOS or Windows. And just to clarify, PineTime does *not* run Linux or any Linux based OS as it stands. Additionally, the chip for the watch is an nRF52832 which is Arm Cortex-M based. This would make the theoretical "porting" very difficult and even if you were able to I don't see how that would be beneficial as the battery would die incredibly fast due to not having the sleep and realtime functionality of an RTOS given the low capacity battery it has.
Having said all of that, I'll let @lupyuen comment as he is most certainly the expert on this.
Survey on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in #OpenSource (Linux Foundation)
The Linux Foundation are carrying out a survey on "Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion in Open Source", and I know this is something #foss #freesoftware and #opensource people (and opponents thereof!) on the Fedi have opinions on. So please boost and fill in.
Contributing to an evidence base may be a way of highlighting the problems and shaming people with money into doing something about them.
