Would offer my gta04...

2012-12-30 Thread rixed
...to someone who think he can contribute something to this project.

I'm too lazy to package and ship it so the hacker would have to live
near Paris (fr).

I received it many time ago but haven't played with it yet (beside
installing the MoBo and checking it's working). Let's be honnest,
I won't have time to dig in this, so it's better if I pass it along.

I give a few old batteries and various cables with it (even a guitar
pick if you want although not the original one :-))

PM me if you are interrested.

GTA02 for sale on ebay, currently going for $20

2012-12-30 Thread Ian Darwin
I posted this on eBay hoping the world would beat a path to my door, but 
they don't seem to have; the GTA02 has only gone up to $20 (as of Dec 
30, 2012) and there's just a few days left on the auction. If you've 
been meaning to pick up a GTA02 (or a spare) for dev or testing, this 
could be a bargain.


See http://www.ebay.com/itm/290834549813

I also have a GTA01 if anybody's interested, write me directly only (if 
today's date is before the 14th January 2013), otherwise I'll list it on 
eBay as well.

Does this one have wifi?

I have whatever version only had bluetooth.

I'd be quite interested in both if I had a clear path how to run them
without needing to have the battery (as an always-on touchscreen for
home automation).. see http://androidthermostat.com/

GTA01 does not have WiFi, GTA02 does. I don't know about GTA01 (it's
probably the same, but I'm not sure), but you can power GTA02 from USB
without battery (on early models, GTA02A5, you need to have battery on
boot - after that you can remove it), but GSM modem won't work when
powered by USB, because it's connected directly to the battery.

Which version(A3/A4/A5) is it?

Yes, the GTA02 has WiFi. You can see that 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_Hardware

and there is a link to some of the software in the "standard" Linux ports.
But just to confirm, I was able to connect it to my home LAN without a 
hitch; the Android-on-FreeRunner port tht I have installed on it at 
present, supports WiFi nicely.

Wanted: GTAxx with Wifi and RS-232

2012-12-30 Thread Troy Benjegerdes
I have committed to provide an open-source energy monitoring system for
about 20 residential homes, and I need a gateway device I can program 
that will take in data from an RS232 connected energy monitor, and then
upload it to http://emoncms.org

I can do this with a GTA02 (wifi built-in, and USB-host mode), or *maybe*
a GTA01 with a usb hub and wifi dongle, but I don't really want to spend
a lot of time testing, so I'd rather go with something that already has
wifi, or if someone is willing to test it with a GTA01.

For an example of what this looks like, see http://grid.coop/meter.jpg

(for the curious, you can also see my electrical usage/generation at
http://emoncms.org/grid.coop/ , which is uploaded by a python program 
I wrote, that I'll want to run on the GTAxx )

My per-unit budget for the hardware is between $50 (bare GTA) and
$150 (GTA running my python code with wifi and rs232)

If anyone has some hardware lying around they'd like to sell and get
a Raspberry Pi or just help out another open source hardware project.

I also have some http://xess.com/prods/prod048.php boards I'd be willing
to trade for a GTA if you promise you'll try compiling the 
http://yasep.org vhdl for the fpga ;)
