Ports going to Sleep

I am running MMDVM on a fully-patched (V4.1.6) Pi 3 B+, and my MMDVM Hat Duplexis working fine.
The issue I have is that the ports appear to go to sleep overnight. The HDMI screen says "No signal detected" when I power back on the monitor, and my Nextion display continues to function, but the touch-panel doesn't respond. A reboot quickly fixes everything.
I added the "setterm -blank 0 -powerdown 0" to rc.local, but nothing changed. However, when I looked at rc.local to add this command, I see the following:
#Reset the GPIO pins in PI4 only
/usr/local//sbin/pistar-mmdvmshat-reset boot
and this line is NOT commented out, even though I'm using a Pi3.
Could this be my issue?

Try uncommenting this statement in the /boot/config.txt file:
Code: Select all
:
# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1
:
change to:
Code: Select all
:
# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
:
Reboot and see if that fixes your problem.

Thanks! I made that change and rebooted. I'll post my results tomorrow morning. With any luck, the display will still be active.

You shouldn't have to wait that long. Reboot while shutting down your monitor then when your system comes back online, start up the monitor and see what you get.
You might want to consider removing (or commenting out) the setterm line you added in rc.local. I don't think it's doing you any good in this situation (and it's just another mod you'll forget to add back in if and when you re-image).
Also, the reset on the MMDVM hat has no bearing on this issue and can be left as is.

Nothing changed. The HDMI port still went to sleep
Meanwhile, I'll remove the rc.local edit.
Back to the salt mines!

If you still have access to SSH in this situation, try this command:
Code: Select all
tvservice --explicit="DMT 35 HDMI"

I cant find my local notes i made.
but weather it was coincidence, or just 2 factors changed at same time, the screen no longer goes away after a time. it is always on.
2. Run rpi-rw; sudo nano /boot/config.txt ; rpi-ro
edited the lines of frame buffer w / h to my preference.
i had also changed the monitor i was using.

Nothing changed. In fact, entering that command blanked out my display, which I suspect means my resolution probably isn't high enough?
