Manually create your video looping preset with your desired settings, then scan this.
Basically the simplest dashcam script. *WAKE=2 <- boot on power Then run this on boot: !C16mVL!S !C16 <- clears the oldest data, if there is less than 16GB remaining, until there is 16GB remaining, otherwise leaves all data. mVL <- select the looping preset !S <- start recording. |

What does the log file report? In MISC/log.txt. |

I couldn’t replicate the issue, and it cleared memory afterwards. I only had to clear the SD card once. Now, I’m facing another issue. Recently, GoPro prompted me to update software, which removed the beta version. I’ve installed it again, but now it won’t wake up on power. However, it starts recording when I turn it on. |

Install the latest firmware (2.04.70) and scan *DBGL=1 for more debugging. |

Installed the latest firmware. First time it woke up on power, but the second time it failed to do so. |

Try *TUSB=1, but otherwise I question the quality of the power supply (or cables). If the power is good, and *WAKE=2 is set, it will wake. |

I have just a rudimentary understanding of the code used in this environment so don't hate, at least at the start. I have a GP11 that I want to use as a dashcam. I will have usb power. No battery due to overheating. Settings that I need: turn on when usb power detected; unlocked as I will be turning the camera upside down; Video looping since I will only need the last chapter or two if something happens and so I won't have to keep formatting the sd card when it becomes full; Quik Capture on power; 1080P 60 W. Super smooth. I understand that there is no way to save video when power is lost but the fix on the next start will recover it. Hopefully I have covered all the details.
