| kristianpaul | hi wolfspraul | 01:58 |
| kristianpaul | Can you please take a look at https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Ben_NanoNote | 01:59 |
| kristianpaul | Fix all the erros you found, | 01:59 |
| kristianpaul | and expand intro history :-) | 01:59 |
| kristianpaul | if you consider it should | 01:59 |
| wolfspraul | oh wow, wait looking | 01:59 |
| kristianpaul | wpwrak: qi-bot is able to read commits from github? | 03:36 |
| kristianpaul | wolfspraul: ^ | 03:36 |
| wolfspraul | don't know | 03:38 |
| kristianpaul | he i dint knew this http://opencores.org/news,1304959611 | 03:46 |
| wolfspraul | he, nice | 03:48 |
| kristianpaul | oh, there is a phone number :-) | 03:49 |
| wolfspraul | just checking their donation, it's up to about 10,000 USD now, not bad | 03:49 |
| wolfspraul | shows that there is quite some passion behind this idea | 03:50 |
| wolfspraul | not that those 10k usd will ever result in anything, imho :-) | 03:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | wow, would result in a nice holiday here :-D | 07:26 |
| DocScrutinizer | kristianpaul: microSD is mostly specifying formfactor, while SDHC is a protocol implying a maximum supported storage size (next step SDXC) | 07:30 |
| lunavorax_mini | Hello everyone ! | 14:33 |
| lunavorax_mini | Is it me or did the VGA via SD Card slot on the Ben Nanonote made some serious progress ? :) | 14:34 |
| wpwrak | lunavorax_mini: it did fro the first version to the latest. didn't have time to play with it last week, though, so no progress since it hit the news | 14:40 |
| lunavorax_mini | wpwrak, I said this because I saw some articles about it on hackaday and such with a beautiful picture of a perfect vga screen. | 14:46 |
| lunavorax_mini | wpwrak, well this one actually http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/ubb/vga/web/ubb-vga-pub-1024-medium.jpg | 14:50 |
| wpwrak | lunavorax_mini: dvdk submitted it to slashdot once i had set up a page about it: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/ubb/vga/web/ | 14:53 |
| wpwrak | lunavorax_mini: i mentioned the page on the mailing list: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/pipermail/discussion/2011-May/007981.html | 14:54 |
| wpwrak | (although after we got slashdotted ;) | 14:54 |
| lunavorax_mini | wpwrak, ok :) | 14:55 |
| lunavorax_mini | wpwrak, I suddently was wondering if that kind of hack was possible on my netbook which got an SD card slot. | 14:55 |
| lunavorax_mini | wpwrak, not necesseraly a VGA hack but a bliniking led hack and such. | 14:56 |
| wpwrak | depends on whether you can find out what controller chip is used for the sd card slot. it's probably some usb-to-sd/mmc/ms/etc. bridge | 14:59 |
| methril_work | once again wpwrak impress me | 14:59 |
| wpwrak | then you can try to find documentation. then find out if it implements some direct gpio access. if it does, great. if it doesn't, your plan B would be to see if you can fake transactions to a point where they do something useful. faking transactions is tricky, though. | 15:00 |
| wpwrak | methril_work: success ! ;-) | 15:03 |
| methril_work | i need to met you some day, you motivate some hackers ;) | 15:05 |
| lunavorax_mini | ok wpwrak look even harder than I though :P | 15:06 |
| wpwrak | lunavorax_mini: yeah. it's much easier with an SoC, like in the ben. there, you have the controller right in the cpu and you can generally switch the pins to gpio | 15:07 |
| wpwrak | methril_work: actually ... i should have a slot to speak about qi-hw at FISL. so if you go there, we could have a few beers ;-) | 15:08 |
| methril_work | wpwrak, i`ll try to go | 15:09 |
| kristianpaul | beer ! | 15:11 |
| kristianpaul | free beer? ;_) | 15:11 |
| kristianpaul | wpwrak: methril_work have a mm1 i think, so i think it looks like you can make a party :-) | 15:11 |
| methril_work | i`ve | 15:12 |
| methril_work | i`ll try to be there | 15:13 |
| wpwrak | methril: great ! | 15:14 |
| lunavorax_mini | Oh it's in Brazil ! | 15:15 |
| kristianpaul | se | 15:16 |
| wpwrak | lunavorax_mini: no less than the biggest annual free software event on the planet :) | 15:17 |
| lunavorax_mini | wpwrak, darn :( can't be there at all | 15:17 |
| lunavorax_mini | too far | 15:17 |
| wpwrak | it's actually a pretty convenient distance from buenos aires ;-) | 15:18 |
| lunavorax_mini | Hahaha | 15:18 |
| Action: kristianpaul is near but dont have credit now, may be for a travel to argetina later | 15:18 | |
| kristianpaul | indeed wpwrak :-) | 15:18 |
| kristianpaul | I think you can reach brazil even by Bus i was talk some day.. | 15:18 |
| lunavorax_mini | wpwrak, I really don't have credits for now, even less if you add the fact that I still am considering to make a donation to qi-hw ;) | 15:19 |
| wpwrak | (now they're even flying there from the domestic airport, which is a few taxi minutes closer to my home than the international one. has more strikes, though.) | 15:19 |
| methril_work | wpwrak, if i finally go, you could come to Pelotas, and we go together | 15:21 |
| wpwrak | kristianpaul: (bus) should be feasible. it would be something like 24 hours, i guess. by plane it's something like 2-3 hours | 15:21 |
| methril_work | i`m living near Porto Alegre | 15:22 |
| methril_work | 2-3 hours by car | 15:22 |
| Action: methril_work bbl, lunch time | 15:23 | |
| Action: methril_work i`m back | 16:01 | |
| ron_ | wpwrak have you been following recent news about device support by Android | 22:13 |
| ron_ | protocol does not look too complex | 22:14 |
| ron_ | one reason it may be interesting w/Nanonote is it's designed for USB device (like Ben) talking with external platform (USB host) | 22:15 |
| ron_ | some interesting Android-ish stuff will support the Google protocol | 22:15 |
| ron_ | http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/FTDI-Vinco-and-Microchip-starter-kit/?kc=rss | 22:15 |
| wpwrak | rjeffries: funny. reversed host/device roles ;) | 23:19 |
