houkimecamera is attached via flexible strip. Where exactly it should be connected? http://neo900.org/stuff/joerg/N97-cam/18:29
houkimeIt seems like the camera goes through hole and it needs to be attached on the other side of LOWER18:29
houkimeopposite from the BOB side18:30
atkffs18:30
atkThese spammers are getting quite annoyin18:31
atkhoukime: you're back :D18:31
houkimeWell, I was never out actually/18:31
houkimeIt's just that I didn't really check chanlogs and stuff.18:32
houkimeMotivation waves also18:32
houkimeI usually can't count on more of a month of real dedication.18:33
atki see18:33
houkimeBut the good thing is it oscillates.18:33
DocScrutinizer05bear woth me, not awake yet. what's the question?18:33
DocScrutinizer05camera goes to upper18:34
houkimeWhat is exactly math of this? There is a cable length deducable from the layout, but not much more18:36
DocScrutinizer05it goes through a holde in lower to a sticky pad on upper and the B2B conn nearby takes the flex from camera18:36
houkimeAnd also there's a bunch of LEDs that kinda seem to go to the upper.18:41
houkimeWhere are holes for them exactly?18:41
houkimeIt is a sheet "LEDs" of the schematic18:42
houkimethey look like they need to be on the edge.18:43
Joerg-Neo900yes, they go to spacerframe which is transparent, they should ve on the corners so  they can be seen from 360° around the device18:48
Joerg-Neo900Donnager: config supybot.plugins.ChanTracker.cap18:50
DonnagerJoerg-Neo900: Error: You don't have the config capability. If you think that you should have this capability, be sure that you are identified before trying again. The 'whoami' command can tell you if you're identified.18:50
DocScrutinizer05Donnager: config supybot.plugins.ChanTracker.cap18:50
DonnagerDocScrutinizer05: Error: 'supybot.plugins.ChanTracker.cap' is not a valid configuration variable.18:50
houkimethey are not a part of the vanilla design, aren't they?18:51
houkime*are they18:52
houkimeSo, if i understood you correctly, you insert a spacerframe between two case parts18:53
houkimeso the neo900 gets a bit thicker.18:54
houkimeand the LEDs then need to be anywhere in the corners, (but not through the case)18:54
houkimeand they need to be on the lower surface of the UPPER?18:55
DocScrutinizer05they can be on both. And they are in proto_v219:03
DocScrutinizer05however the controller is prolly on UPPER since it controls a few other LEDs too19:04
houkimeok, and what is about mic placement? It is strangely enough on LOWER and there should be some dedicated place, right?19:06
DocScrutinizer05we have the mics placed right and left side of device, on S2 or S3 and with a rubber ring "chanber" with an aperture to the spacerframe19:09
houkimeSo, the mics are on the upper side of LOWER, and they need to be close to the right and left edges19:11
DocScrutinizer05yes19:11
houkimeWhat are the properties of a rubber ring?19:11
DocScrutinizer05not defined yet19:11
DocScrutinizer05rubber foam doublesided sticky cut to shape19:12
DocScrutinizer05can even go across 0402 etc19:12
houkimeCan it safely cover some components?19:13
DocScrutinizer05^^^19:13
DocScrutinizer05yes19:13
houkimewhat are the approximate radii (not-really-keepout, but to place nothing hot or tall)19:15
DocScrutinizer05go figure you have to place a rubber foam ring there, what do you want this to be like. I guess 1.5 or 2.0 mm torus material width, plus inner hole for chanber/mic. So maybe 5 to 6mm diameter?19:22
DocScrutinizer05and it's actually a half-ring, cut on diameter by the edge and spacerframe19:24
houkimeok.19:24
DocScrutinizer05the open inner thingie/chanber directly contacts to spacerframe with a 0.8mm hole to outside19:25
DocScrutinizer05I hope the tuning of this acoustomechanic contraption won't become a pita. It for sure has some resonances etc, I hope they are not too strong or ideally act in favor of the over-all-linearity of the mic19:35
DocScrutinizer05I doubt this is reasonably possible to calculate, for sure I lack the competence to do so. So a few tests with proto_v2 will be best and simplest approach19:36
DocScrutinizer05also depends on specific gravity of the rubber foam, as well as rigidity and amount of open pores aka air tightness in foam19:40
DocScrutinizer05we need to adjust those parameters, as well as dimension of the chamber and diameter of hole in spacerframe, to tune the thing to deliver either a flat frequency response fit for high quality stereo recordings, or a simple function like first order lowpass that easily can get equalized in electronics/software19:43
DocScrutinizer05for proto_v2 it's not yet a major item on todo list19:44
houkimeMics will be asymmetrical19:45
houkimetheir positions rather19:46
houkimeit is no way they can be placed in a symmetrical near-center way19:47
houkimetoo many fixed edge parts19:47
houkimehowever... maybe it is not so bad19:49
houkimelet me check again19:49
houkimeif they are digital and not analog it is good.19:50
houkimeok, guess found a place19:51
DocScrutinizer05well, we have to live with what can get achieved, no? :-) It's probably still the best hifi stereo recorder with palmtop and phone built in that you possibly can find19:54
DocScrutinizer05and for high quality recordings we have a line-in on 3.5mm jack - maybe even sensitive enough to accept mic signals19:55
DocScrutinizer05and when even this is not good enough, go for a USB soundcard with mic19:56
DocScrutinizer05or hackerbus19:56
atkinteresting19:57
atkIs the DAC and AMP on the Neo900 going to be something interesting or something bog standard?19:58
atks/AMP/Amp/19:58
DocScrutinizer05rather interesting than poor quality19:58
DocScrutinizer05the codec is sufficiently high quality to compete with playback quality of the average CD player19:59
atk don't know the quality of the average CD player19:59
atkBut as long as it's not crap then that's good :P19:59
DocScrutinizer05the digital mics I can't say I know much about thir real quality19:59
DocScrutinizer05on paper they look good enough20:00
atkI have a dedicated sony recording device if I ever needed to record anything20:00
houkimeYes, and the problem with this is that amplified analog circuits need to have a separated ground and everything20:00
DocScrutinizer05atk: that's what we want to compete with20:00
atkI see20:00
atkit's very good quality to be honest20:00
atkvery clear recording20:00
houkimeso all audio stuff will have a dedicated plot of a groundplane beneath it that should be separated.20:01
DocScrutinizer05houkime: luckily we have digital mics20:01
DocScrutinizer05well, "separated" is not exactly the right specification/word20:02
DocScrutinizer05you need to make sure your analog GND has no digital noise on it, from strong current flowing same path20:02
DocScrutinizer05in Neo900 we use differential signaling a lot, for audio20:03
DocScrutinizer05this mitigates GND issues20:04
DocScrutinizer05and 3.6mm AV-jack "GND" is also of that type, IIRC20:05
DocScrutinizer053.5 even20:05
DocScrutinizer05at least for mic-in20:06
atkhmm20:06
atkit would be nice to properly test the prototype's audio capabilities20:07
atkunder load and off load both mic input and audio output20:07
atkbecause if the foam around the speakers is a problem then that's not too bad, you can fix that yourself by replacing the foam after the fact20:07
atkbut if there's interference from the other components then you're kind of screwed20:08
houkimeYeah, kind of had this sort of poor design on an Asus Xonar board.20:10
DocScrutinizer05that's one of the purpises of proto_v220:10
DocScrutinizer05purposes*20:11
DocScrutinizer05I know about that sort of fsckup ;-)20:12

Joerg-Neo900ooh this was SPAM, just if you didn't notice20:31
qwazixI'm really curious what is the attack vector here...20:59
Joerg-Neo900 annoyance20:59
Joerg-Neo900like all spam21:00
qwazixmost spam do have some kind of a goal21:00
Joerg-Neo900the spam of today was just to annoy grumble and freenode staff in general21:01
qwazixtrolling then...21:01
Joerg-Neo900it's an idiot script kiddie with a botnet under their command, fighting a personal war against freenode staff21:02
qwazix:nod:21:02
atkqwazix: I think it's just attacks on freenode as a network21:03
atkprobably by some trolls from another network21:03
atkthey're trying to get lots of people to go to the #freenode channel and harass people21:03
qwazixI hope they somehow end up in jail21:04
atkThat's unlikely21:04
atkand maybe a bit over the top21:04
qwazixI know it's unlikely but I don't think it's over the top. Well maybe a tiny bit. But I see spam as an attack against civilisation.21:05
Joerg-Neo900for running a botnet they should go to jail21:06
qwazixIt destroys the utility of the network. But that's off topic so I'm gonna shut up now.21:06
Joerg-Neo900hi qwazix, long time no see :-)21:07
qwazixyeah true, I've been quite absent...21:07
qwazixhow's everything?21:08
Joerg-Neo900getting old21:09
qwazixI see there's a proto Neo900?21:09
qwazixme too :)21:09
Joerg-Neo900houkime does layout work right now21:09
Joerg-Neo900for proto_v221:09
Joerg-Neo900the plan is to have some working hardware to show off (make videos etc) and then start a kickstarter og sorts to get the needed number of preorders to continue21:10
qwazixgood to hear. I've since moved to evil android world, though my N900's still work and are kept up yo date for a rainy day21:10
Joerg-Neo900I got a Cat S60 as auxiliary device and to learn why I hate android and google. N900 still my primary phone21:11
qwazixThe state of mobile computing has become sad...21:12
Joerg-Neo900indeed21:12
qwazixI got an Xperia XZ and trying to work it without google. (f-droid ans stuff from around the web)21:12
Joerg-Neo900Neo900 and STEP2 would be more important than ever. Alas the interest and understanding by 'marjet' aka customers/users is worse than ever21:13
qwazixbut FOSS app quality is lacking compared to maemo and even harmattan21:13

houkimeHow rearrangeable are io expanders.22:08
houkime?22:08
Joerg-Neo900totally22:09
houkimeok22:10
Joerg-Neo900no legacy in them, so do with them whatever needed22:10
Joerg-Neo900we have a few considerations maybe about which IO goes to which expander, so we can have IRQ sharing nicely distributed, but that's not a big concern either22:12
enycqwazix: are you also aware of maemo-leste project?22:34
houkimeschematics bug: look at display connector LED.23:26
houkimeit has wron reference23:27
houkimeit points on the connector instead of a led23:28
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: hi! talking about proto v2, is there any estimation about when it will be available?23:29
DocScrutinizer51sorry, will look into it later, not at home right now23:29
freemangordonon a side note - do you follow leste progress?23:29
freemangordonDocScrutinizer51: ^^^23:29
DocScrutinizer51freemangordon: no estimations. Leste isn't on my short range radar23:30
houkimeIt is hard to estimate really.23:31
freemangordonyou;re not curious? hmm...23:31
houkimeI was in a BOB swamp for a while till there was a somewhat plausible solution although weird-looking23:31
houkimeAnd it seems there are many more obstacles.23:32
freemangordonhoukime: I know we (engineers) hate to provide deadlines :), however my question was not about some hard deadline, but more about the gut feeling23:33
DocScrutinizer51freemangordon: I'm curious but tii mucg on my plate23:33
freemangordonas always :)23:33
freemangordonthe same reason I didn;t follow the progress here for a while23:34
houkimegut feeling: I will be a new man when we finish this.23:36
DocScrutinizer51sorry afk, laters23:36
freemangordonhoukime: you're on your own with some help from doc, right?23:37
houkimePretty much.23:39
houkimeIf I learned sth is that every extra feature in a tiny package has a huge headache cost.23:42
houkimeoh. maybe there's no bug. It may be a display-integrated LED.23:55
