When it's already known where it'll be and which date?

Re: QSuunto-Lite

2009-07-10 Thread Joop Boonen
Is/will QSuunto-Lite a KDE program i.e. will it also run on kde4?

Is some qSuunto-Lite code already available.

(I have a Suunto Cobra).

Regards,

Joop.

 Hi,

 glad someone is interested in this one as I want to (re)concentrate on it
 again.

 You can use divetools-ab to download via USB serial (see my little patch
 here [1]) - the package is already capable of using /dev/ttyUSB0
 You need to switch to host mode and have a special adapter for your
 regular USB plug to fit into the mini USB (~ €1.5 on ebay).
 Or you download them on your PC with divetools-ab and upload just the
 file. QSuunto-Lite can only _display_ information from file _not_ download
 itself.
 These features are planned for the next dive program which will also not
 be Suunto specific and hopefully get GPS integration and stuff - but this
 is still a long way...

 Next (and probably last) feature for QSuunto-Lite will be to display the
 dive profile graphically.

 I am not planning to do it in elmentary as it was my first real program in
 C++ and QT and thus also meant to learn it. But for the next program maybe
 it will be possible to seperate GUI and logic enough, so there could be a
 QT (e.g. for Desktop PCs) and an elementary GUI. My primary target is the
 above mentioned feature for QSuunto-Lite and then getting the new dive
 logging application on the way.

 Concering QSuunto-Lite - make sure you have one of the older Suuntos that
 are compatible with divetools-ab [2]. Newer Suuntos are also planned to be
 supported in the new app.

 http://git.senfdax.de/?p=oe_recipes;a=blob;f=divetools-ab/files/001_usbserial.patch
 [2] a) http://www.acs.uni-duesseldorf.de/~becka/dive/divetools/index.html
   b)  http://www.sarnau.info/papers:suunto_protocol see Vyper, Spyder,
 etc.

 Hope this helps.

 Cheers,
  Christian

 Thanks for this!

 Questions:
 * What are the features you're currently working on?
 * This requires that the FR is in host mode to download from the dive
 computer, correct?
 * As asked earlier, any chance of porting to elementary rather than QT?

 Now I can't wait to get my phone back from buzz fix!

NeoTool

2009-02-15 Thread Joop Boonen
All,

I've changed a few things in NeoTool.
1) No need to run it as root any more as long as you are in the uucp group.
2) The config is saved in ~/.neotoolrc
3) The backup directory can be chosen, the default is: ~/openmoko/backups

I couldn't reach the original maintainer yet. So i build version 1.2.1 for
now, in the rpm packages.

Regards,

Joop Boonen.

 Nowadays wifi drivers doesn't support monitor mode, the only way to

Why don't the drivers support monitor mode?

Would it be possible to add it to this driver? To me it's not preferable
to add an extra wifi dongle when the device has wifi itself.

Of course it's a matter of taste. But I also like the black and white

Re: consider buying Neo Freerunner

2008-10-21 Thread Joop Boonen
The problems mentioned are do they occur in both qtopia as in OM2008?

I understood that qtopia is more stable.

If this is true why no make it dual boot, as is possible. Boot up in
Qtopia when the phone has to be stable and when a problem is ok, boot up
in OM2008?

I'm going to order my Freerunner soon. I think in spite of it's problem
it's the best embedded product, with total freedom,  around right now.

 Qtextended is probably the most stable at this point, and that has
 it's caveats.

 Incoming calls are always registered as missed calls.

 Incoming calls are always answered as speakerphone, instead of
 handset. I'm not sure if there is a setting for it, but I haven't been
 able to find it. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd
 appreciate it as I hate having to remember to switch it to handset
 after I answer a call.

 Often, accessing the keyboard after a call starts is impossible, which
 makes it difficult when you have to navigate through a company VM
 menu. You can use the Smart theme which works a little better but
 you will need to use the stylus to access the .5 x .5 dialpad the
 comes up in a call.

 SMS messages received will often double themselves, or show five or
 six times the amount of new messages in the New Message alert.

 Select All-Move to Trash works sometimes, sometimes not, and it will
 often redownload them from the SMS server after the phone
 crashes/hangs/doesn't-come-out-of-suspend and requires a hard restart
 which, for me, is about every two or three days.

 Using the stylus is almost a necessity; you're not going to have much
 luck using your finger for anything other than the largest, most
 well-divided buttons. Even on the menus, you'll find yourself
 selecting the wrong entry over and over (fingernails are not much of
 an option for me. I'm a guitarist and keep them pretty short.) The
 dockable qwerty keyboard works moderately well for composing messages
 with the stylus, but the arrow keys don't work in the terminal, so be
 prepared to type commands over and over, as the bash/ash history is
 not accessible. The predictive text keyboard is mostly unusable due to
 the inability after a word or two to change keyboard types or erase
 characters.

 I don't use the alarm so I can't comment on the issues others have had
 with that module.

 MP3 playback is pointless as it stutters constantly.

 WEP wireless connections seem to only be available via command line. I
 can't connect via WEP by the GUI, so I just wrote a script to do it.
 Even that is weird, as I have to follow the following sequence to get
 that to work:

 iwconfig eth0 essid my_ap enc my_encryption_key;
 sleep 2;
 iwconfig eth0 essid any;
 sleep 2;
 udhcpd eth0;

 The first time I call the script it fails. so I control-C it, and run
 it again (the up arrow on the keyboard would be very handy here in the
 terminal.) The second time it works and gets an IP address, however it
 seems resolvconf is not updated (even though the DNS addresses are in
 resolv.conf) as I can't ping by DNS, only IP. Now, if i run it a third
 time it works like a charm. I don't know if this is something odd with
 my network and the card on the Neo, or what but my laptop connects
 fine with Ubuntu.

 These things of course have all been filed as bugs already AFAIK. If
 there are fixes for anything I've mentioned here, I'd love to apply
 them.

 I'm not sure if the phone is just grossly underpowered for what we are
 trying to do with it (MP3 playback) or if it's just that the software
 has  a lng way to go before being usable as a day-to-day phone
 with some extra PDA features.

 So, in conclusion, I'd say there are a lot less expensive gadget
 phones out there that do more and will not result in your hair turning
 gray prematurely. The Neo is a wonderful idea, just not implemented
 very well I guess. The design is nice, it's case feels better in your
 hand than any other phone I've used. It's nice to have linux on my
 phone and be able to do all the things I'd do with my laptop or
 desktop, but without GPRS or 3G availability, it's kind of silly. If I
 have access to wireless APs, I'll have my laptop most likely, so why
 use the phone for that stuff? The display resolution is crisp and many
 people have commented to me on that. I like the phone, I just can't
 use it without a lot of finger digit acrobatics.

 No, you are in the vast majority I think - those who can reliably make
 phone and sms calls are in the minority - if they even exist.

 Those of use using reliably are minority but we do exist. Occasionally
 the phone will coma on me and require a hard restart (remove battery and

rpm packages for openmoko-*-arm(v4t)-linux-gnueabi-toolchain

2008-10-19 Thread Joop Boonen
All,

I'm currently working on rpm packages (Centos/Fedora/Mandriva/OpenSuSE)
for openmoko-*-arm(v4t)-linux-gnueabi-toolchain. (Packed from the
binaries provided by the openmoko project).

I think I got them to work. I didn't test them yet.

I'm wonder is it helpful for the openmoko people?

The packages can be found at:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/worldcitizen/

Please drop me a line if they don't work as they should or when you
think it's no use (if possible also explain why).

Regards,

Joop Boonen.

Short remark: The i686 version is probably not up to date yet as it's
not build, yet. The last version that is.
