Feb 14 21:53:47 hi: got my audio adapter today, just plugged it in; works like a charm; it is this device: http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6844729626&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 chipset is c-media Feb 14 22:00:05 updated this in the wiki Feb 14 22:00:48 next project is probably getting bemused running on the slug. That way I can use a symbian phone as a remote control for audio playback Feb 14 22:01:38 also will try to get flite working. I'll keep you posted. Feb 14 22:01:43 g'nite for now.... Feb 14 22:01:58 nite Feb 14 22:03:52 thanks for the info eFfeM-log :-) Feb 14 22:04:46 EvilDevil, my pleasure (actually got the info on getting this dongle here; at $ 10.49 including insured shipping to NL it is a bargain Feb 14 22:06:54 i found a usb-audio device (cmedia cm 108) on ebay. it's 6,49 + 5,90 euro shipping (from germany) Feb 14 22:07:55 should be working too Feb 14 22:08:22 "XEAR 3D USB Soundkarte extern DSP 7.1 Skype 3D Gaming" Feb 15 03:31:46 has anyone done much with java on the slug? Feb 15 04:53:34 anyone get a javax.com working with jikes Feb 15 06:07:44 <[g2]> andrew_redfern I'm off to sleep Feb 15 06:08:03 <[g2]> I'd be interested in what you are trying to run on the slug with java Feb 15 06:08:27 sounds good Feb 15 06:08:34 <[g2]> I've got the Loft platform that's got 2x the memory and 2x the processor of the under-clocked slug Feb 15 06:08:47 i'm trying to track down some javax.comm packages now Feb 15 06:09:10 <[g2]> I know like zero about java though Feb 15 06:09:21 Loft platform? Feb 15 06:09:25 how much is that? Feb 15 06:09:36 does it still have USB ports? Feb 15 06:09:42 I don't know anything about Feb 15 06:10:00 <[g2]> It's expensive relative to consumer stuff Feb 15 06:10:09 <[g2]> but cheap if you are building product Feb 15 06:10:11 <[g2]> $349 Feb 15 06:10:51 <[g2]> 533Mhz 425, 64MB, 2 Ethernet, POE, 3 MiniPCI, Serial, JTAG, 2 USB 2.0 host ports, case PS ..... Feb 15 06:11:01 <[g2]> Industrial temp rated Feb 15 06:11:09 not bad Feb 15 06:11:14 do you have a link for it/ Feb 15 06:11:25 <[g2]> http://www.giantshoulderinc.com Feb 15 06:11:44 <[g2]> The site's _way_ out of date Feb 15 06:12:01 <[g2]> see http://www.giantshoulderinc.com/hw-4533 and Feb 15 06:12:10 <[g2]> see http://www.giantshoulderinc.com/ab3/case.jpg Feb 15 06:12:28 <[g2]> You can run Debian LE from external disks Feb 15 06:12:51 wow that's cool Feb 15 06:13:05 I'm looking at the slug for a basestation Feb 15 06:13:08 <[g2]> Oh it's got CF/IDE slot Feb 15 06:13:16 <[g2]> I'm running madwifi now in BE Feb 15 06:13:21 I do wireless sensor networks Feb 15 06:13:32 <[g2]> heh we should talk :) Feb 15 06:13:58 any time Feb 15 06:14:00 <[g2]> you're not the bat guy are you ? Feb 15 06:14:12 <[g2]> or the frog guy ? Feb 15 06:14:15 no, fire Feb 15 06:14:28 <[g2]> now that sounds cool! Feb 15 06:15:33 <[g2]> so you are re-purposing the slugs for a sensor network ? Feb 15 06:16:33 yeah there are a few other people that have built things with it Feb 15 06:16:48 I'm doing an open-source one Feb 15 06:16:55 <[g2]> :) Feb 15 06:17:15 <[g2]> is this a POC ? Feb 15 06:17:42 here's a link for some friends of mine that are also doing it Feb 15 06:17:44 http://www.moteiv.com/products-tmoteconnect.php Feb 15 06:21:02 <[g2]> interesting Feb 15 06:21:07 <[g2]> that's zigbee stuff right ? Feb 15 06:21:15 yeah Feb 15 06:21:17 <[g2]> I could plug those into my platform Feb 15 06:21:17 tinyos Feb 15 06:21:25 yeah Feb 15 06:21:41 they use the ftdi usb to serial driver Feb 15 06:22:37 I've got it up and running on the slug now Feb 15 06:22:45 was not too bad Feb 15 06:22:58 I'm trying to get some of the java tools to work now Feb 15 06:23:51 <[g2]> nod. on Openslug or Debian Slug ? Feb 15 06:24:05 * [g2] guess openslug Feb 15 06:24:21 I did it on OpenSlug another guy has it running on unslug Feb 15 06:24:36 * [g2] hugs andrew_redfern Feb 15 06:25:09 why do I get hugs? Feb 15 06:25:20 <[g2]> heh Feb 15 06:25:47 <[g2]> I'm kidding around, I'm a very early openslug production champion Feb 15 06:26:10 <[g2]> s/production/product/ Feb 15 06:26:10 [g2] meant: I'm kidding around, I'm a very early openslug product champion Feb 15 06:27:01 I know Feb 15 06:27:13 <[g2]> uh oh... Feb 15 06:27:17 * [g2] hides Feb 15 06:28:05 <[g2]> are you aware of #openjtag ? Feb 15 06:28:51 no what's on that line? Feb 15 06:29:58 hmmm not bad Feb 15 06:30:03 that could be usefull Feb 15 06:32:32 <[g2]> The guys at that site look like there are remotely JTAGing the sensors Feb 15 06:33:17 really? Feb 15 06:33:48 <[g2]> FWIW that what it sounds like to me from the web-site Feb 15 06:34:16 <[g2]> The slug acts as a GW and they TCP/IP to serial to the sensors Feb 15 06:34:27 <[g2]> it's really just a simple routing exercise Feb 15 06:34:53 <[g2]> a lot like the uucp _years_ ago Feb 15 06:35:11 <[g2]> but you can reprogram the sensors from afar Feb 15 06:35:30 <[g2]> I'm looking to the the same thing for contract manufacturing Feb 15 06:35:44 <[g2]> just way higher speesd Feb 15 06:35:50 <[g2]> s/speesd/speeds/ Feb 15 06:35:51 [g2] meant: just way higher speeds Feb 15 06:37:19 yeah they are using it to program and collect and rout the data from the wireless network Feb 15 06:37:52 <[g2]> and control too Feb 15 06:38:05 yes that too Feb 15 06:38:06 <[g2]> I guess that's the "program" part :) Feb 15 06:38:15 <[g2]> it's a little late here Feb 15 06:38:37 it's not just programing them though Feb 15 06:38:43 it's sending messages Feb 15 06:39:01 <[g2]> well what are the using the JTAG stuff for ? Feb 15 06:39:22 there is an onboard JTAG Feb 15 06:39:37 <[g2]> debugging ? Feb 15 06:40:12 not really it's really hard to port tinyos code for what the JTAG tells you Feb 15 06:40:37 mostly it's used for programming Feb 15 06:40:49 <[g2]> just flashing the devices Feb 15 06:40:57 yeah Feb 15 06:41:14 the ti chip has a boot strap loader Feb 15 06:41:23 <[g2]> a guy in #openjtag build a FTDI based rig to control the JTAG Feb 15 06:41:51 <[g2]> with that sw running on the SLUG/Linux you could lose the TI adapter Feb 15 06:42:06 <[g2]> it'd probably be 1/2 the cost Feb 15 06:42:23 <[g2]> and less if it was bundled in with the header Feb 15 06:42:27 yeah you can build one for about $10 Feb 15 06:42:36 I've made one Feb 15 06:42:40 it's not hard Feb 15 06:43:03 FTDI has a new great chip as well Feb 15 06:43:14 <[g2]> which one is that ? Feb 15 06:43:35 FT232R Feb 15 06:43:50 all you need are a few caps Feb 15 06:48:07 <[g2]> well it's really time for some sleep now Feb 15 06:48:17 <[g2]> very nice chatting Feb 15 06:48:27 <[g2]> pls drop me an e-mail if you can Feb 15 06:50:06 <[g2]> nite Feb 15 06:51:09 g2: what is your email? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Feb 15 10:59:56 2006
