Re: Happy Birthday Freerunner

We currently run the first German Openmoko Workshop in Munich to  
celebrate the "birtday".
Yesterday evening, we had approx. 15 attendents and today, maybe even  
more.
Mickey Lauer is doing a hands-on workshop on FSO today.

External GPS antenna question

2009-07-03 Thread Mikhail Umorin
Hello --

I want to buy an external GPS antenna and would like to know what is the 
difference between "active", passive (?), powered, and amplified antennas 
(antennae). 

What are the implications of their use with FR (power consumption, 
performance, etc)?

Which ones of the above "should" work in FR?

"Should" any antenna with MMCX connector work in FR?

Thank you for your time, 

Mikhail.

P.S. I checked http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/External_GPS_antennas but I want 
to know more of the general info.

Re: Anyone know a store that sells FreeRunner accs in the US

Just for everyone's information, plain water works just as well--you can 
just fill the bottle back up.  They used to ship it without any 
solution, with instructions to just use water, and it always worked fine 
for me (although having a spray bottle is nicer).

Also, if the bubble is showing up in the same place with each 
application, it's probably caused by a piece of dust.  You need to make 
sure everything is very clean.  It's very easy for a piece of dust to 
get in there while you're applying.

I'm not sure if it will be possible after it has dried, though.  I've 
never tried to reapply later (and I think they say you shouldn't, if I 
remember correctly).

Be careful with the spray. I killed my FRs touchscreen by using too much.

I have redone it several times, but no luck. I also hoped, that it
will disappear,
after couple of day. But didnt happened either.

I also used up all the spray (all the 20ml spray;-)

The same as any other mechanical switch - operation becomes unreliable leading 
to inaccurate speed measurement, then fails completely. It doesn't happen 
quickly - it was on the second or third set of batteries so it would have been 
several years and thousands of miles.

They do, and they eventually fail, hence the "no moving parts/contacts" bit. 
Both will work, but hall effect should last longer.

If input isn't getting to the console either then check whether the keyboard 
is actually appearing as an input device. You could check dmesg or logread, or 
try:
ls -l /dev/input/by-path/
hal-find-by-capability --capability input.keyboard

Using WMS servers on TangoGPS

2009-07-03 Thread David Reyes Samblas Martinez
Dear all,
I have published a piece of PHP in the tuxbrain blog[1] that allows to
"translate" the OSM tile sistem used by TangoGPS(and omgps) to a
standard OGC WMS 1.1.1 web services,
In the code[2] is an example implemented the Institut Catala de
Cartografia (http://www.icc.cat) but I think the hard stuff (changing
coordinates), change datum, etc can be reused to other wms server out
there, the maps usually are free aviable for non comercial use, so I
think it can be interesting to use other maps source than OSM (low
detail in some zones) or google maps (not able to mass download).
The article is in spanish but the source code comments are on english.

About x11-16 uglyness - yestersay I've started to make theme, which in
x11-16 looks like default theme in x11 :) Results on scap.

And that x11-16 trick can also be used with Paroli, without uglyness
everywhere :)

of course -- it is a devel package.
to me your symptoms sound like you didn't have a working configuration (ie  
navit.xml).
maybe navit-dev simply installed something working?

IIRC if you re-spray the IS, you can remove it and re-apply it... so
no need to remove it and send it back?

HTH!

Hm, i was always under the impression that most bike systems use a
simple magnet and a reed switch (no need for hall effect sensor) for
both cadence and speed measurements. So any sensor from a regular
"bike computer" can be directly attached to the mic line of FR.
