Re: Barometric altimeter on 'future' Freerunner ?

2008-05-18 Thread Heikki Sørum
Actually, implementing a railgun would probably be feasible as long as
the projectile weight and powerload is taken into consideration. I'm
not sure if the battery can handle multiple +1 gram projectiles though.
And not to mention the need for a new chasis with space for a PCB
with series of capasitors as I suspect the chemical battery can't
deliver the necessary Ampere during the short time the projectile spends
accelerating on the rails. ^_^

Would be cool in an extremely geekyness way. What's next, a
freerunner chasis that doubles as a tesla coil?

PS. Tesla coils are way cool, with a sufficent _high_ voltage it's even
possible to use your body/hands/fingers as a tesla coil. Imagine using
your body as a electric resonance cavity and then letting the lightning
play between your fingers and your hands. Now add a mad scientist
laugh while wearing a laboratory coat. ;)

Completely OT? You bet I am! :P

Heikki Soerum.

PS. Go read about what Tesla did with electricity.. It will blow your
mind.

Hi,

No.

Event if the precision is something like +/- 20 meters, I believe  
it's got a better accuracy than a barometric altimeter that you've  
got to calibrate to the meteorological conditions all the time.


GPS altitude precision is more like +/- 200 metres. Even cheap  
electronic altimeters are accurate to a few feet. That they need  
daily calibration makes them only of use to people who actually  
_need_ to know their height - an altimeter built into a digital  
watch, for instance, is usually no more than a gimmick, but a hang- 
glider pilot can simply hold down the zero button on his £100  
altimeter for 3 seconds and then knows his height accurately for the  
duration of the day's flying.

This has given me an idea.  What if we built onto Neod (or an equivalent 
future software) a function to deliver triggers for events from 
Wifi/GSM/GPS/BT/Accelerometers like acpi does for power.


For example, currently I use acpi triggers on my laptop to start 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] when power is connected and kill it when I switch to 
battery.  I did this by adding a line to a .sh file in 
/etc/acpi/battery.d/ or similar and that script is ran whenever that 
event happens.  Could we build an equivalent to this so that when you 
connect to Wifi for example, it could launch a Voip client, download 
mail, or whatever the user configures.  This could also be used for 
GPS.  We could have a file to set what should be run when GPS = a 
certain position.  This seems like the easiest way to deliver radio and 
accelerometer based events.

I never said it was perfect, just another option. I have no affiliation to 
either digium or trixbox, but I did try both ISOs when i was starting out 
with asterisk. I don't use either any more - CentOS, asterisk, vi.

I didn't give AsteriskNOW much time because it wouldn't play easily with the 
non-digium passive BRI card I had at the time. I found the install-zaphfc 
script for trixbox and it 'just worked' so I stuck with it. It probably 
helped that I was already familiar with CentOS too.

The 'FreePBX overwrote my edits' issue is a bit limiting. For most things you 
can edit the whatever_custom configs which it includes and does not 
overwrite, but there are things you just can't do this way. That's why I now 
use vi ;-) OTOH most people running a small setup won't need to edit the 
configs.

I agree with Andy about the concept of the internal http server, and trixbox 
runs too many things on the PBX for my taste, but to be fair I haven't seen 
this cause any problems in a small setup. Small was ~20 SIP clients and a 
single BRI running on a passively cooled Via C7, so not exactly a 
powerhouse :-) 

When I get the Freerunner one of the first things I'll be trying will be VoIP, 
so it's great to see someone at digium looking at this. If it's going to gain

Accellerometer spin

Instead of adding a compass to the device to be able to read spin about the 
gravitational axis, would it not be easier to offset one of the accellerometers 
from the centre of the device? 

That way, the roll is uneffected and the yaw and pitch can be calculated by 
accounting for the known offset in the equ.

with asterisk. I don't use either any more - CentOS, asterisk, vi.

I didn't give AsteriskNOW much time because it wouldn't play easily  
with the
non-digium passive BRI card I had at the time. I found the install- 
zaphfc
script for trixbox and it 'just worked' so I stuck with it. It  
probably

helped that I was already familiar with CentOS too.

The 'FreePBX overwrote my edits' issue is a bit limiting. For most  
things you

can edit the whatever_custom configs which it includes and does not
overwrite, but there are things you just can't do this way. That's  
why I now
use vi ;-) OTOH most people running a small setup won't need to edit  
the

configs.

I agree with Andy about the concept of the internal http server, and  
trixbox
runs too many things on the PBX for my taste, but to be fair I  
haven't seen
this cause any problems in a small setup. Small was ~20 SIP clients  
and a

single BRI running on a passively cooled Via C7, so not exactly a
powerhouse :-)

When I get the Freerunner one of the first things I'll be trying  
will be VoIP,




so it's great to see someone at digium looking at this.

I am from digium, but this is not a digium product, nor am I working
On it at digium on the clock.

Just clearing things up :)


If it's going to gain
openmoko features I might have to look at the GUI again too ;-)

Heh,

From experience, asteriskNOW is my favorite, and the first platform


I am going to get the client to work with automatically.

(I am going to add an 'openmoko' option in the AsteriskGUI)

AsteriskNOW Also has Digital / Analog card support for detecting /
installing / configuring all digium Hardware.

It also has auto provisioning for polycom phones.

:)

But, I work for Digium, so I am somewhat biased right? :P

I will push for more features based on openmoko, in the GUI, however.

Both make setting up an asterisk server very easy. They also run

whether

this is
good or bad is a matter of opinion, as is preference between the
different GUIs.

Totally. Hopefully the end result will be an svn state/branch that  
anyone can checkout and build. (and it the readme, just state it  
depends on other libraries) and make the ipkg depend on your packages.  
Thanks :)

Perfect. I will throw those inthere and pass a test call tonight, to  
see if we have any problems. (eg segfault. :P)


I believe the only reason I used the beta was because it was about to  
become stable and was recomended on the site. No reason ;)

 If there is a bug you have, report it, or I cannot fix it. The GUI
 comes a long way everyday, given its relatively new on the project
 scene.

 Every bug you submit gets assigned to me, and fixed :)

I doubt there was a bug. It's more likely I just hadn't found or understood 
the right bit of documentation for AsteriskNOW, whereas I found the right bit 
for trixbox. If I find something I'm convinced is a bug I report it :-)

Re: Will GTK be used in Openmoko?

2008-05-18 Thread Piotr Duda

maybe Im missing something but I couldnt find where Shachar demands from
openmoko to give him support for his language it looks like he is
disappointed with decision of moving from gtk to efl (just because the
first one has some ready to use tools to implement support for his
language)...
well, IIRC from the beginning openmoko was supposed to be based on gtk
(I can remember the flame war gtk vs qt some time ago) and I can imagine
that he could have found this project interesting just because of that...
and now, unexpectedly, we have such a big change... If Im right, I think
he has right to feel disappointed
I know that gtk will be there also, but main openmoko apps, the one which
will officially be supported, will be not based on it and this makes
a *big* difference...

warning
Im definitively not in position to judge this decision now and this is not
my point... ;-P
/warning

good luck for OM team with bringing the first free phone to us, and good
luck for Shachar in his search for some alternative solutions...

please READ THE EMAIL. suddenly the use of efl means We are efl based. the
non-use of shipepd gtk apps means we dont support gtk and so on are all
bizarre views people hold and are espousing on these lists. they are not true.
we use EFL for certain apps and uses. it's good at certain things. qt and
qtopia re on their because openmoko decided that for the phone to be a usable
phone at all we need to just use qtopia's phone suite and ship it. to keep
supporting gtk and all other toolkits we have gone to effort to support it
under X11. we still use X - all toolkits still work.

shachar *IS* asking for work. he's saying use gtk! dont use efl! it doesnt
support hebrew and arabic and farsi... bidi. that means WORK for US. we nave
to re-implement from basics the things EFL then does for us already.

GPRS IP Networking

2008-05-18 Thread Steven Kurylo
Does someone know how IP addresses are handed out on the cellular
network?  Do they give each phone an IP address, or do they do NAT?  I
want to know if I'll be able to connect to my freerunner over GPRS,
say I wanted to ssh into it.

I've been searching the internet and haven't found an answer.  I
connected to my website with my blackberry and saw different IP
addresses for different requests; makes me think they have an outgoing
NAT pool.  Of course this could also be carrier dependent.

Thanks.

Re: GPRS IP Networking

2008-05-18 Thread Brandon Kruse
Either way, you could write a simple program on the phone to keep  
connecting to an end point (server) and give the server reverse access  
(stunnel) back to the device.


Just what I'm thinking :)
