**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Apr 15 02:59:56 2008 Apr 15 03:03:53 My neo has started issuing the message "Unknown HZ value! (84) Assume 100." - does anyone know what this means? Apr 15 03:19:11 rtm: that it's not keeping time very well? Apr 15 03:19:24 Did you reflash anything, or did it just do this out of the blue? Apr 15 03:20:18 The only change is that I installed an 8 GByte microSD card. Apr 15 03:20:54 And yes, it is keeping time very poorly. Apr 15 03:22:31 $399 US, that is a nice price... Now, all I need is a date. Apr 15 03:23:11 I need a date too, but that has nothing to do with OM. Apr 15 03:23:39 Oh, I am in that boat too. Apr 15 03:35:43 ScaredyCat: as you wondered about 1345, did you mean 1341 instead of 1337? Apr 15 03:43:16 so, steve talks about going the open route. Is he really saying they plan to compete on a quality device? that's never going to work! :) Apr 15 03:43:31 * doc|home looks forward to the gta 03 too Apr 15 03:43:40 it'll *have* to kick ass Apr 15 03:47:18 I get the impression that Steve is talking about not trying to take over the market Apr 15 03:47:54 I've no problem with fic winning massive market share once there's good reason for it Apr 15 03:49:07 right, but I get the impression that at this point, it's not OpenMokos plan Apr 15 03:52:55 I'd hope it is :) Apr 15 03:53:21 even if not with the gta02 they should still sell well Apr 15 03:58:00 * * OM Bug 1347 has been created by reddog(AT)mastersword.de Apr 15 03:58:01 * * Double suspend (second suspend right after resume) Apr 15 03:58:02 * * http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1347 Apr 15 04:16:57 hrm, I wonder why the OE package for bdb is stuck at 4.3 Apr 15 04:17:11 I hope it's just that no one has bothered updating it and not some evil arm incompatibility Apr 15 04:50:36 hahaha, snuff videos of the destructive testing, nice... Apr 15 04:57:01 doc|home: url ? Apr 15 04:59:36 dvarnes: none, someone requested them on the mailing list Apr 15 04:59:38 :) Apr 15 04:59:47 ahh :-) Apr 15 05:12:33 good morning Apr 15 05:13:07 hi Apr 15 06:29:47 Morning Apr 15 06:36:01 hmm, now to find a way to justify buying a freerunner :) Apr 15 06:38:45 Uhm, sort of a stupid question: Apr 15 06:38:48 The accelerometers Apr 15 06:38:58 They show the amount the phone is MOVING right? Apr 15 06:39:13 not what angle it's at and such? Apr 15 06:39:36 like http://blogs.gnome.org/thos/files/2008/04/81db03e78db4a5dc4e2ee9977bd44571.png ,he must be moving the phone at that point (the accelerometer numbers) Apr 15 06:42:36 flexd: The accelerometers measure acceleration, but I don't know what values thos is showing on that image :) Apr 15 06:42:47 motion != acceleration Apr 15 06:43:32 Maybe they show angles, in some odd units Apr 15 06:44:29 I've worked with the wii, as I work for my bachelor thesis - gesture recognition for the wii Apr 15 06:44:49 here's how you could compute roll and pitch http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Motion_analysis Apr 15 06:45:49 the accelerometers show mainly two things Apr 15 06:46:00 static acceleration when you're in the +-1G values Apr 15 06:46:13 and dynamic acceleration when you go above these values Apr 15 06:46:56 mib_csgmqrim: Thanks for the facts :) Apr 15 06:51:14 I was basically thinking of being able to decide things based on motion/how the device is held Apr 15 06:56:13 morning Apr 15 07:40:58 thos: you moo'd ? Apr 15 07:43:27 CM: see technical:accelerometer in the wiki Apr 15 07:43:45 * CM takes a look Apr 15 07:45:01 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Accelerometer Apr 15 07:45:15 Already half down the page ;) Apr 15 07:46:59 Some of the numbers on the page are significantly better than reality due to the sorts of accels used in the freerunner Apr 15 07:47:37 As long as there's a light saber app I'll be happy :P Apr 15 07:54:25 CM, therefore you'd have to read http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Howto_Holographic_Display first Apr 15 07:56:09 since I worked with the adxl330 which is inside the nintendo wii, I wonder what does 20 times worse mean Apr 15 07:56:22 if you hold the phone still, the values will change constantly? Apr 15 07:56:32 and within what limits Apr 15 07:57:21 the nintendo wii has an error of ~0.03 when I keep it still on the table Apr 15 08:02:45 borza: it has 20* the noise Apr 15 08:03:03 16mg/s^2, compared to around 1mg Apr 15 08:03:16 At a bandwidth of around 1Hz IIRC Apr 15 08:06:32 why so much noise SpeedEvil? Apr 15 08:08:12 0.6G is a LOT of noise Apr 15 08:09:11 16mG Apr 15 08:09:16 not 0.6G Apr 15 08:09:51 That's 16cm/s^2 - a velocity uncertainty of 16cm/s after 1s Apr 15 08:10:20 * ScaredyCat tries to understand.... Apr 15 08:10:35 if they are so bad - why have them? Apr 15 08:10:47 They are not bad - for some purposes. Apr 15 08:10:51 it was probably a misunderstanding - i said 0.03G and you said 20* and then i multiplied Apr 15 08:11:26 .03G is _substantially_ worse than the ADXL303 type device in the Wii can do - if used properly with correct input circuitry. Apr 15 08:11:27 ok, so what uses are 'good' ones Apr 15 08:11:29 do you have a phone near you, I am curios what values does the accel generate when you keep it on the table Apr 15 08:11:48 The datasheet - when I last looked at it - diddn't admit any noise. Apr 15 08:11:58 shake to wake == good? (since it's fairly violent) Apr 15 08:12:15 Simply the quantisation error that comes from putting a +-2G range into 8 bits. Apr 15 08:12:25 To put this into perspective. Apr 15 08:12:28 portrait to landscape == good? Apr 15 08:13:04 The ADXL303 type chips can get an angular accuracy - measuring where down is - to within about .3 degrees or so. Apr 15 08:13:25 The one in the freerunner will measure it to maybe 3-4 degrees. Apr 15 08:13:41 ok, well, that's not so bad then is it.. Apr 15 08:13:42 So you can see that they are far from useless - just that they are not as useful as they might be. Apr 15 08:13:57 The problem comes in applications where you try to push the limits. Apr 15 08:14:03 right... Apr 15 08:14:13 For example, using them to measure secondary effects - like rotations. Apr 15 08:14:16 I'm looking from the acceleromter gestures perspective to these accelerometers Apr 15 08:14:30 Which they basically can't do - unless htey are very violent. Apr 15 08:14:32 Ooops Apr 15 08:14:40 to clarify - rotations about the gravity axis. Apr 15 08:14:41 I liked the idea someone came up with.... Apr 15 08:15:05 the phone rings, you don;t want to answer it so you turn it face down and it mutes the ring Apr 15 08:15:49 That sort of stuff is all fairly simple and possible. (if you're not in motion) Apr 15 08:15:59 how about, the phone rings, you pick it up and take it to your ear, and it answers automatically Apr 15 08:16:10 that too - it's on the wiki somewhere Apr 15 08:16:35 i wrote about it on the list devel Apr 15 08:16:41 for the gsoc Apr 15 08:16:58 Utterly not worth $4000 Apr 15 08:17:16 A generalised gesture framework - yes Apr 15 08:17:37 learning gesture system... ? Apr 15 08:17:53 of course, i was not talking about a single gesture Apr 15 08:17:55 teach it the gesture for an action... Apr 15 08:18:11 exactly Apr 15 08:18:41 you could define your own gestures and associate them to actions Apr 15 08:25:33 On gestures - http://youtube.com/watch?v=aXdtUISSHuo Apr 15 08:49:39 stefan_schmidt: pong? Apr 15 08:51:07 hi guys Apr 15 08:51:26 i'm going to get the group buy going for the freerunner - has anyone got the URL for that page on the wiki handy? Apr 15 08:52:04 ScaredyCat, yeah, did you try my theme yet :-P Apr 15 08:55:54 torpor, http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/OpenMoko_Local_Groups ? Apr 15 09:10:23 torpor: yes Apr 15 09:10:38 great thanks mbuf Apr 15 09:10:46 i'm going to get a 10pack of freerunners ASAP .. Apr 15 09:11:13 can you increase the size of the tnof in combo/dropdown boxes Apr 15 09:12:41 * ScaredyCat has a 10 pack.... Apr 15 09:12:59 imaginary 10 pack for imaginary friends... Apr 15 09:13:09 * mjr has his 10-pack full :) Apr 15 09:14:05 is there an ncurses interface available on the Neo, instead of matchbox? Apr 15 09:14:23 "no, but you're welcome to do it" Apr 15 09:14:33 mjr, ok Apr 15 09:14:51 there's already someone setting up a second 10-pack for Helsinki :) Apr 15 09:15:39 ScaredyCat: why no qtopia phone images at buildhost.automated.it? Apr 15 09:15:41 i wanna order ASAP Apr 15 09:16:51 ljp: gimmie 10 mins, I've built it... but I haven't done my rsync Apr 15 09:17:55 hm, anyone doing/done call recording software yet btw? Apr 15 09:18:01 it's on my build schedule so it'll happen magically now.. Apr 15 09:18:21 * ScaredyCat did have a strange problem with it though,,,, Apr 15 09:18:34 no gsm stuff, didn't see the network at all :( Apr 15 09:29:18 hrm Apr 15 09:29:24 ScaredyCat, where you trying to talk to me? Apr 15 09:29:35 trying? Apr 15 09:29:38 what? Apr 15 09:32:14 ahh.. now I see it Apr 15 09:32:28 thos: yes Apr 15 09:32:41 [2008-04-15 10:09:16] can you increase the size of the tnof in combo/dropdown boxes Apr 15 09:34:15 ScaredyCat: gta01? Apr 15 09:34:22 yes Apr 15 09:35:05 i will look into that tomorrow,. been working on 4.4 lately Apr 15 09:35:05 there's an image upthere now and the ipks are being uploaded Apr 15 09:35:11 ah ok Apr 15 09:35:25 thanks Apr 15 09:41:16 np Apr 15 09:43:03 whats the qtopia-core image? Apr 15 09:44:22 ScaredyCat, the tnof? Apr 15 09:44:44 ljp: ignore it... Apr 15 09:44:52 it's just the base system Apr 15 09:45:02 thos: font Apr 15 09:45:57 oh Apr 15 09:46:00 * * OM Bug 1348 has been created by reddog(AT)mastersword.de Apr 15 09:46:01 * * Can't figure out how much mony is left on my prepaid card Apr 15 09:46:02 * * http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1348 Apr 15 10:35:45 http://vanderled.com/onlinestore/product_info.php/cPath/49_48_54/products_id/80 Apr 15 10:38:36 ScaredyCat: Hehe..
