I run RC on my laptop. From 100% the battery lasts about 2 hours when mesh modelling. The power being used is greater than what is provided by the mains adapter and/or dock. Consequently I have to pause the modelling and wait approx. 2 hours for the laptop to recharge before resuming. Currently this is a manual process that needs someone to be in attendance so I do not get the benefit of overnight processing.
Could I request some guidance on writing a script that either;
- Pauses and Resumes every two hours.
or
- Polls the laptop battery life every fifteen minutes (or other interval) and either Pauses or Resumes based on the value returned.
This might be extended to include creating a Checkpoint, though I have not had much success with these.
