<dwihno> Hail to the almighty LINUS!: D
|
|||
|
<Linus> Yo!
|
|||
|
<Linus> Where did you order your Archos? And did you order a Recorder?
|
|||
|
<dwihno> I ordered it from Dustin
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Yeah, a recorder model
|
|||
|
<dwihno> I also ordered myself a new "dual optical" mouse from logitech ;D
|
|||
|
<Linus> Nice.
|
|||
|
<dwihno> yeah :)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> I just hope my expectations won't fail me ;)
|
|||
|
<Linus> Me too.
|
|||
|
<adi|home> weclome back all :)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> thanks
|
|||
|
<Linus> Hi adi!
|
|||
|
<dwihno> I might get it today
|
|||
|
<dwihno> (that is, if I'm _EXTREMELY_ lucky) ;)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> btw the archos firmware does handle being turned off somehow, because custom firmware won't turn off with the power plugged in but archos firmware will
|
|||
|
<Linus> Oh. That's something we'll have to look into
|
|||
|
<dwihno> PsycoXul: how extensivly have you been testing the new code on the actual hardware?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> well lets see i threw it on there last night and didn't past ata_init() so uh not very? :p
|
|||
|
<Linus> Strange, that thing with the ATA...
|
|||
|
<Linus> PsycoXul: have you opened your box?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> no
|
|||
|
<Linus> Ok.
|
|||
|
<dwihno> heheh
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Well, try to have a positive perspective - you at least got to ata_init() :)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Was it the first test on actual hardware you performed last night?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i've played with little pieces of code on the hardware a good amount
|
|||
|
<dwihno> cool :)

<Bagder> hey ho
|

|
<dwihno> Hello Bagder! :D
|
|||
|
<Linus> Yo Bagder!
|
|||
|
<Bagder> oh crap, Linus got here before me!!! :-)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> :D
|
|||
|
<dwihno> He was here REALLY early!
|
|||
|
<dwihno> 07:38 <Linus> Yo!
|
|||
|
<dwihno> You can't beat that! :D
|
|||
|
<Bagder> hehe
|
|||
|
<Bagder> I'm pretty often at work before that actually
|
|||
|
<Linus> But then he's so tired he can't even read or speak. :-)
|
|||
|
<Bagder> its just a matter of coffee amounts :)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Hehe
|
|||
|
<dwihno> The caffeine is your friend! :D
|
|||
|
<dwihno> <-- just had his third cup of coffee
|
|||
|
<Linus> Bj<42>rns donated player has an old display after all
|
|||
|
<Bagder> ah
|
|||
|
<Linus> Version 4.13
|
|||
|
<Bagder> did you get anything displayed on it?
|
|||
|
<Linus> Stone dead.
|
|||
|
<Linus> And the 4.13 display is stone dead when I pair it with Bj<42>rns old CPU board.
|
|||
|
<dwihno> It's stone'd ;)
|
|||
|
<adi|home> btw... zagor stated 'the firmware should never exit'
|
|||
|
<adi|home> so we #defined the uisim to use the off button...
|
|||
|
<adi|home> but on the player and the recorder.. does the firmware trap the off button or what?
|
|||
|
<adi|home> i mean how else do you turn the unit off?
|
|||
|
* Bagder has no clue
|

<dwihno> YAY!
|

|
<Zagor> well we don't know for sure
|
|||
|
<dwihno> My Archos is in Ume<6D> now!
|
|||
|
<Zagor> the recorder seems to simply go into powersave mode and not actually turn off 100%
|
|||
|
<dwihno> I'm gonna get it today! :D
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Oh joy!
|
|||
|
<adi|home> really? thats just weird
|
|||
|
<adi|home> and the player?
|
|||
|
* dwihno starts bouncing around like a a playfull puppu
|
|||
|
<dwihno> puppy ;)
|
|||
|
<Zagor> i don't know. we need to do some measurements
|
|||
|
<Linus> I don't think it's weird that it goes into powersave mode
|
|||
|
* adi|home puts newspaper under dwihno
|
|||
|
<Linus> That way it can keep the settings in RAM
|
|||
|
<adi|home> no.. what i mean is.. sholdn't both units?
|
|||
|
<adi|home> i mean, why wouldn't the player as well?
|
|||
|
<Linus> i dunno
|
|||
|
<Linus> Maybe they designed it in a hurry
|
|||
|
<adi|home> keep those answers up.. and im giving you a target too...
|
|||
|
<adi|home> ;)
|
|||
|
<Linus> maybe the LCD display has no powersave mode
|
|||
|
<Linus> who knows?
|
|||
|
* adi|home nods
|
|||
|
<adi|home> okay.. im off to bed then.. long day tomorrow.
|
|||
|
<Zagor> night!
|

|
<dwihno> sweet dreams
|

|
<Linus> COFFEEEEEE!

|
<adi|home> nite agin
|
|||
|
<Linus> Gah!
|
|||
|
<Linus> The "new" display works with the "new" CPU board
|
|||
|
<Linus> So we night have *three* display types on our hands!
|
|||
|
<Bagder> hmrpmf
|
|||
|
<Zagor> or at least combining old new cpu with old display wasn't as simple as we thought
|
|||
|
<Linus> Or it might be that it has nothing to do with the LCD at all.
|
|||
|
<Linus> Just incompatible boards
|
|||
|
<Linus> But how????
|
|||
|
<Linus> I wonder what's different...
|
|||
|
<Zagor> don't worry about that too much, it's not like anyone else is going to attempt it...
|
|||
|
<Linus> True. I'm just curious
|
|||
|
<Bagder> you should still write down or post your findings, so that we have them saved for the future
|
|||
|
<Linus> And we still need to debug a New(tm) Player to find out what's different with the ATA interface
|
|||
|
<Zagor> yes

|
<PsycoXul> yeah
|

|
<Zagor> have you opened your archos?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> heh
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> no i haven't
|
|||
|
<Zagor> ok. we're having a theory that perhaps your harddisk is jumpered as "slave"
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> fun
|
|||
|
<Zagor> it's not so bad, we just have to deal with it in ata_init() if that's the case. but it's a bit tricky to find out without opening your archos... :)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> heh
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> well i need to back it up [actualy mostly reorganize my HD copies to match the structure on the archos just so i can see that it really is backed up], and take it to best buy to get it serviced so they can remove the sticker and i don't have to worry about it
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i wasn't planning on opening it till after that
|
|||
|
<Zagor> well maybe you don't have to. we could try just patching your code a bit and see what happens
|
|||
|
<Zagor> stand by :)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> the power plugin does need to be resoldered or something i think, if i bump it while its plugged in it'll lose the contact
|
|||
|
--> Zagor_ (~bjst@labb.contactor.se) has joined #rockbox
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> but i can't test anything till tomorrow... gotta juggle HD's in a win98 box next to me to boot it to linux with my sh1 dev stuff and its too late tonight to be getting into that...
|
|||
|
<Zagor_> :-(
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> and i'm hopping in the shower now heh
|

|

|
<Bagder> to what?
|

|
<dwihno> To the PC
|
|||
|
<dwihno> It just says charging
|

|
<dwihno> no "hello USB" thingy
|

|
<Zagor> yay, that was fast
|

|
<Linus> dwihno: turn it on

|
<dwihno> It just says "charging batteries"
|

|
<Linus> Hold ON down for a few secs
|

|
<Zagor> dwihno: go to groups.yahoo.com and join the archosjukebox6000 group. then read the faq there, it will answer your 20 first questions :-)
|

|
<dwihno> Help me out, I don't wanna search no mail list! :(
|
|||
|
<Linus> How long did you press ON?

|
|||
|

|
* Bagder has glass windows ;-)
|

|

|
|||
|
<Zagor> yeah, I guess we can't expect MSWindows to follow specifications... ;*)
|
|||
|
<Bagder> ah they do, just not the SAME specifications ;-)

|
|||
|
<dwihno> The speed is quite alright for being a USB 1.1 computer I'm using
|
|||
|
<Bagder> dwihno: hehe that'll keep you busy for a while
|
|||
|
<Linus> dwihno: do you have USB2.0 on your computer?
|
|||
|
<Linus> ah
|
|||
|

|

|
|||
|
<dwihno> hehe
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> Zagor: just booted over
|
|||
|
<Zagor> PsycoXul: meaning?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> you know i think most of the problems i have with this thing over USB is due to trying it when the batteries low
|
|||
|
<Zagor> yeah that's a bad idea
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> Zagor: meaning i'm copying the test file now
|
|||
|
<Zagor> ok
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> well
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> usualy when i plug it in the batteries like half way
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> to USB i mean
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> and then i copy files and after several times in one session it starts having problems
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> using it as a USB HD seems to eat the batteries really quick
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> hmmm
|
|||
|
<Zagor> yeah, always keep the power cable connected in usb mode
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> like now the batteries shouldn't be very low but it may have stalled on the copy already
|
|||
|
<dwihno> For how many hours do the batteries last?
|
|||
|
<dwihno> 10 hours?
|
|||
|
<Zagor> roughly, yes
|
|||
|
<dwihno> mkay
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i estimate 5-10 hours depending bitrate, settings, volume, how much you mess with it
|
|||
|
<dwihno> mess?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> if you press buttons a lot
|
|||
|
<dwihno> you mean, use it as a USB harddrive?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> have the backlight on much
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> etc
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> dwihno: yeah
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> er
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> no
|
|||
|
<dwihno> amongst other things
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> dwihno: i mean if you set up a 10 hour playlist, start it, stick it in your pouch/pocket and then don't touch it till it goes dead
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> dwihno: it'll last a long longer than if you play some songs, then browse around and play some more, etc
|
|||
|
<dwihno> mkay
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Will the unit start to fux0r if I change the hard disk label?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> nah
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> one of the first things i did :p
|
|||
|
<dwihno> heh
|
|||
|
<dwihno> insanity! is the label now
|
|||
|
<dwihno> :)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> 20 gigs of music in your pocket is nothing but pure insanity
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> yep
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> its true
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> just wait
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> its like your life suddenly got a soundtrack :p

|||
|
<dwihno> :)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Oh my fucking G.O.D!
|
|||
|
<Zagor> dwihno: 20 gigs? bah, 40 here. and there's 60 gig disks out now.
|
|||
|
<dwihno> whoa
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Zagor: suck my dick :)
|
|||
|
<Zagor> no thanks :)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> heh
|
|||
|
<dwihno> I'll sync it against my collection at home tonight
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> ok
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> Zagor: no change
|
|||
|
<Zagor> hmm
|
|||
|
<Linus> PsycoXul: you mean the ATA slave test?
|
|||
|
<Zagor> yes
|
|||
|
<Linus> bah!
|
|||
|
<Zagor> hmm, we must do a device select before we start polling status...
|
|||
|
<Linus> Dont we do that now?
|
|||
|
<Zagor> nopp
|
|||
|
<Linus> But the ATA interface must be initialized already?
|
|||
|
<Zagor> i'll try and adapt the master/slave check code I have in the isd200 driver...
|
|||
|
<Zagor> hmm, you're right
|
|||
|
<Zagor> still, it just doesn't work
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Whoa
|
|||
|
<dwihno> I wanna go hoooome! :)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Listen to music! :)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> I love the audio quality
|
|||
|
<Zagor> have you been able to hear the buzz yet=
|
|||
|
<Zagor> ?
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Didn't try
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i get a buzz while my studio20's charging sometimes... it comes and goes and when it comes i can't get rid of it and when it goes i can't make it do it, but its from the unit itself and not the headphones heh
|
|||
|
<Zagor> oh
|
|||
|
<Zagor> are you using the stock charger?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> yes
|
|||
|
<Zagor> it could be voltage related
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> its no big deal and i only get it sometimes
|
|||
|
<dwihno> I'll try to get the buzz tonight
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Damn
|
|||
|
<dwihno> The bass is exquisite!
|
|||
|
<dwihno> My EXP101 is WAY out!
|
|||
|
<Zagor> dwihno: you can probably "force" the buzz by only inserting the headphone plug half-way
|
|||
|
<Zagor> still, if you can't hear it why look for it :)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> hehe
|
|||
|
<dwihno> true, true
|
|||
|
<dwihno> You will not find the force, the force will find you!
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Reverse that sentence and imagine Yoda saying it ;)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> find the force you will not, find you it will
|
|||
|
<dwihno> :)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> :-)
|
|||
|
* dwihno sighs
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> but yeah
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> anything else i should try today?
|
|||
|
<dwihno> How long time does it take to charge it?
|
|||
|
<Zagor> dwihno: a long time. leave it overnight at least
|
|||
|
<Zagor> it handles it intelligently, so there's no problem leaving it too long
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Ah, sure
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> yeah but don't leave it too too long especialy if you use the stock adapter
|
|||
|
<dwihno> How come?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> cause its an unregulated piece of shit adapter that i guess provides more power than the unit needs to start with, and especialy once its charged, that extra power gets put out as heat
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> some people have damaged their units with that
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> mine's gotten hotten than i'm comfortable with a couple times
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> hotter
|
|||
|
<dwihno> ah
|
|||
|
<dwihno> does it tell when the charging is finished?
|
|||
|
<Zagor> yes
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> yeah
|
|||
|
<dwihno> and how many hours does a typical charge take?
|
|||
|
<dwihno> the green led goes blank when it's fully charged?
|
|||
|
<Zagor> no the display says "Charging complete"
|
|||
|
<Zagor> the green led is hardwired to power-on
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i dunno about recorders, but my player says "charged" instead of "charging..." and you can also hear the HD spin up
|
|||
|
<Zagor> the recorder does not spin the hd
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> huh
|
|||
|
<Zagor> the "charging complete, let's dissipate excess power via spinning hd" seems to be a new-players-only thing
|
|||
|
<dwihno> mkay
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Should I upgrade to the newsest firmware?
|
|||
|
<Zagor> which version do you have?
|
|||
|
<dwihno> lemme check... where do I do that?
|
|||
|
<Zagor> menu->firmware
|
|||
|
<Bagder> who cares about firmware versions, we need rockbox ;-)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> hehe
|
|||
|
<dwihno> rockbox is still just a dream
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Rockbox - Because dreams will come true!
|
|||
|
<dwihno> There's a slogan you can use ;)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> you know it *seriously* seems like the players firmware was a hacked together bare minimal with a few things thrown in cause they were easy, and i *swear* they anticipated a project to replace it
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> to me anyways :p
|
|||
|
<dwihno> you might be right
|
|||
|
<Zagor> i doubt they anticipated anyone replacing it. then why would the scramble it? I agree on the "hacked together" part, though
|
|||
|
<dwihno> ask the firmware developers
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i couldn't tell you why they scramble it
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> it doesn't seem to actualy accomplish anything anyways :p
|
|||
|
<Zagor> it would appear they explicity wanted something like this to never happen...
|
|||
|
<dwihno> 1.26
|
|||
|
<dwihno> mar 10 2002
|
|||
|
<dwihno> that's the firmware
|
|||
|
<Zagor> dwihno: I think there's a 1.27 out. try it if you feel like it.
|
|||
|
<Zagor> I'm using 1.24. can't be bother with their mini changes
|
|||
|
* Bagder has 1.25b
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> so you guys got anything else for me to test today or can i throw the normal firmware on there and call it a day? heh
|
|||
|
<Zagor> PsycoXul: we're done for now, I think. i'll test some stuff on my end first.
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> ok
|
|||
|
<Bagder> there's a 1.27c available
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Where do you find the firmware?
|
|||
|
<dwihno> I'm trying to find, but can't!
|
|||
|
<Bagder> http://www.archos.com/us/download_drivers.html
|
|||
|
<dwihno> ah
|
|||
|
<dwihno> thanks
|
|||
|
<Bagder> "archos recorder firmware" on google showed that as first choice
|
|||
|
<Bagder> the rockbox link was only on third place ;-)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Yeah! :D
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> ok
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i descrambled/hexedited/rescrambled the archos firmware and changed 'CHARGE' to 'FUX0RZ' and 'CHARGING' to 'FUX0RING' etc
|
|||
|
<Zagor> haha
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> and put it on, booted it, shut it off, plugged it in just to see
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> and it still says CHARGE, CHARGING
|
|||
|
<dwihno> :)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> hm
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> so apparently firmware upgrades don't effect its charging stuff
|
|||
|
<dwihno> stupid :/
|
|||
|
<Zagor> ah, no. not unless you first start the firmware then plug in the charger
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> which makes sense to me since it doesn't boot up from the HD to charge
|
|||
|
<dwihno> In what way is the firmware scrambled? :) XOR?
|
|||
|
<Zagor> no it's a bit more than that
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> heh
|
|||
|
<Zagor> they used the old "swap bus pins" trick, only in software instead of hardware
|
|||
|
<dwihno> (?)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> swap bus pins?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> ok so i turned it on and plugged it in and then turned it off and it still says CHARGE heh
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> they seem to have a lot of unused stuff in their firmware upgrades
|
|||
|
<Zagor> don't turn it off
|
|||
|
<Zagor> when you turn it off it reverts to rom
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> well when its on it just displays the normal interface and the battery indicator just moves
|
|||
|
<Zagor> dwihno: yeah, if you swap the bus pins to the ROM, the contents of the ROM becomes scrambled without you actually having to unscramble it
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Femton pirater <20> en flaska m<> rooooom! :D
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> so i'll never see those messages heh
|
|||
|
<Zagor> PsycoXul: ah, silly me
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Zagor: mkay
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Zagor: in quiet parts of the songs, I hear a faint buzz noise...
|
|||
|
<dwihno> I can live with it though
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i was mainly just wondering how "fixed battery charged issue" ended up on the feature list of a firmware upgrade... so now we know just cause they say they added it doesn't necessarily mean it'll have any effect for an upgrade :p
|
|||
|
<Zagor> i guess you're right
|
|||
|
<Zagor> PsycoXul: umm, feel like testing some more? ;)
|
|||
|
* Zagor ducks
|
|||
|
<dwihno> What's with that digital serial thing? Are they trying to disable something?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> heh
|
|||
|
<Zagor> dwihno: what do you mean?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> sure, except i just booted that box back to win98 so i can't compile anything for it heh
|
|||
|
<Zagor> PsycoXul: if i select slave, I get the same 00 status response as you get
|
|||
|
<Zagor> so we should probably we checking master/slave the first thing we do
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Zagor: Well, I read something about some serial thing and DMCA... And the link said something about making digital copies... I thought they might be trying to disable digital copying...
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> ok
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> hey its kindof funny
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i've got this song called 'descramble'
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> its the DeCSS source code, sang
|
|||
|
<Zagor> dwihno: ah, yes. like everyone selling stuff in the US they must obey silly rules. but there are ways around the SCMS. (it's in the FAQ ;)
|
|||
|
<Zagor> dwihno: but it's only over the SPDIF interface anyway. and nobody uses that
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> with the chorus "the dmca steps me... i don't like the dmca, it makes this song illegal"
|
|||
|
<Zagor> PsycoXul: lol
|
|||
|
<dwihno> :)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> er "steps on me"
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> its bad recording, bad quality, bad performance but its kinda catchy :p
|
|||
|
<Zagor> i like the lyrics...
|
|||
|
* Bagder thinks songs by "decoded feedback" kind of fits on mp3
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> how can you not love a song that starts off with
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> "this function is void.. it takes to args"
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Zagor: Nothing about SCMS in the FAQ :/
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> :p
|
|||
|
<Bagder> hehehe
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> s/to/two/
|
|||
|
<dwihno> :-)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> DMCA steps on me... i don't like the dmca it makes this song illegal, oooh... dmca, it steps on me and makes this song illegal, makes this song illegal
|
|||
|
<dwihno> PsycoXul: You need coffee.
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> eye dew gnot.
|
|||
|
* dwihno hands PsycoXul a steaming hot cup d<> coffee
|
|||
|
* PsycoXul hands it back, thanks anyways heh
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> coffee's nasty stuff man :p
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> and it pisses me off that innocent pot smokers are going to jail while everyone from gradeschoolers to their parents are hooked on caffiene :p
|
|||
|
<dwihno> hehe
|
|||
|
<Linus> Gotta go. Bye folks!
|
|||
|
<dwihno> You haven't made a 'scroll faster' patch yet? :)
|
|||
|
<Bagder> bye Linus
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> nobody's doing patches :p
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> besides maybe archos heh
|
|||
|
<-- Linus (~linus@labb.contactor.se) has left #rockbox
|
|||
|
<dwihno> hehe
|
|||
|
<dwihno> I'll do my own patch ;D
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> sure
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> while you're at it, whip up some DSP code for PCM and ogg support
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> so i saw this new portable thing out
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> with 10G
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> can play mp3/wav but thats only a feature
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> works as usb master and slave, has ethernet and pc card
|
|||
|
<Zagor> so what "thing" is it?
|
|||
|
<Bagder> gotta run, see ya
|
|||
|
<-- Bagder (~daniel@as3-3-2.ras.s.bonet.se) has left #rockbox

|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> that thing
|
|||
|
<dwihno> it's rather sexy
|
|||
|
<dwihno> but it's not an archos
|
|||
|
<dwihno> archos is godsent!
|
|||
|
<Zagor> ah, a harddisk with a display. how cute :)
|
|||
|
<dwihno> rockbox is the archangel, sent to thame the archos!
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> its size is kindof odd
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> 7"x3.2"x1"
|
|||
|
<Zagor> the price is, ehm, high
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> yeah

--> alkorr (alkorr@srs04m-8-122.n.club-internet.fr) has joined #rockbox
|
|||
|
<Zagor> hey, alan!
|
|||
|
<alkorr> hello people
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> its LCD sounds like its charcell too... says 20 chars x 4 lines
|
|||
|
<alkorr> you are fast :)
|
|||
|
<Zagor> like lightning :)
|
|||
|
<alkorr> speaking about your project :)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> but its got some interesting features
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> such as ability to use alkaline, ni-mh, or a li-ion battery pack
|
|||
|
<alkorr> Psyco, what are you speaking about ?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> can act as a usb master, has 10mb ethernet, pcmcia, and composite video out for viewing still images
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> heh
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> alkorr: http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/gadgets/57a3.shtml
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> terapin mine
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> its rather long at 7" though, "20 char x 4 line" lcd doesn't sound impressive, nor does 6 buttons, and costing so much for only 10G
|
|||
|
<alkorr> looks very interesting if it was not its price
|
|||
|
<Zagor> ga-zing-ga. file browser running on my 6k.
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> what'd be more interesting is if they sold them cheap without HD's
|
|||
|
<Zagor> yeah, it's kind of a mix between an archos and a handheld. not being especially good for either
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> but being that its geared towards being a data storage device, they probably wouldn't do that heh
|
|||
|
<alkorr> well I prefer a graphical lcd
|
|||
|
<Zagor> unghh... sourceforge's CVS server seems to have bonked
|
|||
|
<alkorr> ???
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> yeah
|
|||
|
<alkorr> bonked ? what does mean ?
|
|||
|
<Zagor> it doesn't respond right now
|
|||
|
<Zagor> bonked = died, sort of
|
|||
|
<alkorr> ok
|
|||
|
<Zagor> apparently it didn't like my latest patch :)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i feel like i got shortchanged on this little 11x2 charcell thing, i've seen $10 games at walmart with better displays heh
|
|||
|
<Zagor> hehe
|
|||
|
<alkorr> arf
|
|||
|
<Zagor> ah, it's up again
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> but at least it does display stuff
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> there's so many players on the market that don't even have standard mp3 player features
|
|||
|
<Zagor> PsycoXul: is yours a studio 10 or 20?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> studio20
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/gadgets/5a1a.shtml
|
|||
|
<Zagor> ok
|
|||
|
<Zagor> hey, it can almost fit the rockbox logo! ;)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> hey thats kinda interesting... if you hooked an IR port into the serial port on your archos with custom firmware and then used that
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> get a joystick and mini keyboard and extra display
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> heh
|
|||
|
<Zagor> yep. there's lots of cool stuff to be done on the archos
|
|||
|
<alkorr> hum... interesting...
|
|||
|
<dwihno> :)

* dwihno takes everybody down to earth again

<alkorr> you dreamreaper :)

<Zagor> who'll be first with a keyboard->archos adapter? :)
|

--- dwihno is now known as DreamReaper
|

<DreamReaper> Mohahaha!

<Zagor> you forgot tetris :)
|
|||
|
<alkorr> a PC keyboard should not be a problem
|
|||
|
<dwihno> haha
|
|||
|
<dwihno> Tetris is a toy for kids :)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> Zagor: i keep thinking of a bi-directional IR via serial port
|
|||
|
<alkorr> if your archos has the external serial line
|
|||
|
<Zagor> PsycoXul: yeah, unfortunately bidir requires hw mod
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> yeah i know
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i do plan on making hw mods eventualy
|
|||
|
<dwihno> hm
|
|||
|
<dwihno> bettery charged
|
|||
|
<dwihno> So it's full now, eh?
|
|||
|
<alkorr> please, consider my idea
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> which idea is that
|
|||
|
<alkorr> there is the Linus' serial tool that we can connect between an archos and PC
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> yeah
|
|||
|
<alkorr> if we have a PS/2<->serial adaptor
|
|||
|
<alkorr> it should be virtually possible to connect a PC keyboard
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> heh
|
|||
|
<alkorr> no ?
|
|||
|
<alkorr> a PC keyboard sends 1200 baud, no parity, 8 bit, 1 start, 1 stop
|
|||
|
<alkorr> am i wrong ?
|
|||
|
<-- Zagor has quit (card.openprojects.net irc.openprojects.net)
|
|||
|
<alkorr> so jukebox should be able to receive scancodes and handles it
|

|
--> Zagor (~bjst@labb.contactor.se) has joined #rockbox

|
<PsycoXul> i've got 3 ps/2-serial adapters, but all 3 are made to plug into a serial port

|||
|
<PsycoXul> and linus' serial adapter i'm guessing is also made to plug into a serial port
|
|||
|
<alkorr> jukebox has no PC serial plug
|
|||
|
<Zagor> ah, hi again :)
|
|||
|
<alkorr> you need to have an intermediate

|

<PsycoXul> thats what linus' adapter does right?

<PsycoXul> heh

|
<alkorr> ah okay youre speaking about adapter
|

|
<PsycoXul> yeah the rs232 converter
|

|
<Zagor> then you just need the serial->archos adapter from the web page
|

|
<Zagor> PsycoXul: yup
|

<PsycoXul> which kind of rs232 port does that have? the kind like is on the computer on the kind like plugs into the computer? heh
|
|||
|
<Zagor> it's db9 -> 3.5mm plug
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i seem to recall somebody at some point saying they'd put pictures up of the thing
|
|||
|
<Zagor> dumdidum, that was never me was it? :*)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> Zagor: yes but i mean does it plug into the host port or do you plug a serial cable between the host port and the converter port or what?
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> Zagor: can you plug a serial device into it
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> or is it itself a serial device to be plugged in
|
|||
|
<Zagor> it plugs into the PC and into the archos
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i mean on the pc side
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> does it have the 9 pins or the 9 holes? heh
|
|||
|
<alkorr> a stand serial wire
|
|||
|
<alkorr> standard
|
|||
|
<alkorr> wire between PC and adapter is female
|
|||
|
<alkorr> unless Linus inverted it
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> so the rs232 converter's PC-style port is just like what you have on the back of your PC? heh
|
|||
|
<alkorr> well if not the good one, just buy a male-female adapter :)
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> thats all i was wondering heh
|
|||
|
<alkorr> on the pc, it is a male
|
|||
|
<alkorr> my adapter has also a male adapter
|
|||
|
<alkorr> huh it is like PC one
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> so if you had a serial keyboard you could plug it right into the rs232 converter?
|
|||
|
<alkorr> let me find another keyboard here...
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i've got 3 ps2->serial adapters heh
|
|||
|
<alkorr> you should because i bought a 1 ps2->serial too
|
|||
|
<alkorr> and it fits with my serial adapter for jukebox
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> ok
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> so it should be easy to hook a lot of stuff up to this sucker
|
|||
|
* PsycoXul pictures a little 1-pixel mouse cursor drawn in a dynamically-updated custom char on his player :p
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> ok so for this thing
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> i see on national.com the LP2980IM5
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> they have -2.5 through -5.0
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> (i.e. LP2980IM5-2.5, ..., LP2980IM5-5.0)
|
|||
|
<Zagor> i have to go. see you guys!
|
|||
|
<PsycoXul> is that the output voltage or something?
|
|||
|
<-- Zagor (~bjst@labb.contactor.se) has left #rockbox

|||
