I’ve had a tablet acting as a digital picture frame for a long time now and I always like to stop by and see pictures of our travels and stuff. For us at least it’s still cool. When it fails I’ll get another one.
Yep.
I'm surprised how much I look at ours. It's changed how we take photos.
Now we're more intentional to try to document trips and events more explicitly and clearly. The photo serves as a memory-reminder.
If you're younger, no one probably told you that you will forget stuff. Not in a bad way, just that seeing a pic from an event will remind you of other memories that you hadn't thought about in forever. It's like the memories are stale and a random pic refreshes them.
Mine turns on at 7am and off at 10 pm, rotates through photos randomly. I can send pics to it through wifi of Bluetooth (real convenient for phones).
How have you been powering it? Plugged in 24/7?
Yep plugged in 24/7. The tablet is rooted and running a custom rom and I’ve set the battery charging rules so that it maintains charge from 50-80%.
Good thinking. How do you keep the charge in that range? Software? Mechanical timer for the plug?
I use this app to control and keep the charge within that range:
