Waking up Mac from sleep #237

Closed janv closed 8 years ago

janv commented 8 years ago

I'm using an Ergodox EZ with the QMK firmware. The keyboard does not seem to be able to wake my Mac from sleep. Is there a way to make that work?

Did you try KC_WAKE and KC_PWR?

jackhumbert commented 8 years ago

You might need to hold down the key as well - it doesn't help that OSX's sleep sucks :/

Hm, could't get it to work. But it's not that big a deal I guess, I can use my mouse to wake up the computer

I'm experiencing this as well. I'll try KC_WAKE/PWR soon.

But why is this necessary? Other keyboards/mice I've used (usually Apple ones) always seem to wake the machine when something is pressed, not just the power key.

I am experiencing the opposite issue on the Planck, where the keyboard stops working after a wakeup. The backlights are still on, so I know that it's not a power issue.

This started occurring after I updated the firmware to the commit 2cf26915e3ed737ae83cf7b54f7e84fc2f0d3b40 (Jun. 16). Before that, I was running on the build from 3c683aa9f23288ddada760fb49abcc5fa7324f5e (Feb. 7) with no problems.

The custom keymap that I flashed is based off default with some keys swapped, but no major changes.

@cleung2010 what OS are you on? I've had something similar recently, where the matrix seems to be acting up. I'm wondering if it's related to #444.

This is on OSX El Capitan.

I updated my firmware last week and at least pressing SPACE now seems to wake up my mac

bennypowers commented 7 years ago

I have this same issue. Shouldn't have to issue a special WAKE command - any keypress should wake from sleep.
