<houkime>
they are not a part of the vanilla design, aren't they?
<houkime>
*are they
<houkime>
So, if i understood you correctly, you insert a spacerframe between two case parts
<houkime>
so the neo900 gets a bit thicker.
<houkime>
and the LEDs then need to be anywhere in the corners, (but not through the case)
<houkime>
and they need to be on the lower surface of the UPPER?
<DocScrutinizer05>
they can be on both. And they are in proto_v2
<DocScrutinizer05>
however the controller is prolly on UPPER since it controls a few other LEDs too
<houkime>
ok, and what is about mic placement? It is strangely enough on LOWER and there should be some dedicated place, right?
<DocScrutinizer05>
we 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 spacerframe
<houkime>
So, the mics are on the upper side of LOWER, and they need to be close to the right and left edges
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes
<houkime>
What are the properties of a rubber ring?
<DocScrutinizer05>
not defined yet
<DocScrutinizer05>
rubber foam doublesided sticky cut to shape
<DocScrutinizer05>
can even go across 0402 etc
<houkime>
Can it safely cover some components?
<DocScrutinizer05>
^^^
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes
<houkime>
what are the approximate radii (not-really-keepout, but to place nothing hot or tall)
<DocScrutinizer05>
go 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?
<DocScrutinizer05>
and it's actually a half-ring, cut on diameter by the edge and spacerframe
<houkime>
ok.
<DocScrutinizer05>
the open inner thingie/chanber directly contacts to spacerframe with a 0.8mm hole to outside
<DocScrutinizer05>
I 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 mic
<DocScrutinizer05>
I 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 approach
<DocScrutinizer05>
also depends on specific gravity of the rubber foam, as well as rigidity and amount of open pores aka air tightness in foam
<DocScrutinizer05>
we 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/software
ravelo has joined #neo900
<DocScrutinizer05>
for proto_v2 it's not yet a major item on todo list
<houkime>
Mics will be asymmetrical
<houkime>
their positions rather
<houkime>
it is no way they can be placed in a symmetrical near-center way
<houkime>
too many fixed edge parts
<houkime>
however... maybe it is not so bad
<houkime>
let me check again
<houkime>
if they are digital and not analog it is good.
<houkime>
ok, guess found a place
<DocScrutinizer05>
well, 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 find
illwieckz has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<DocScrutinizer05>
and for high quality recordings we have a line-in on 3.5mm jack - maybe even sensitive enough to accept mic signals
<DocScrutinizer05>
and when even this is not good enough, go for a USB soundcard with mic
<DocScrutinizer05>
or hackerbus
<atk>
interesting
<atk>
Is the DAC and AMP on the Neo900 going to be something interesting or something bog standard?
<atk>
s/AMP/Amp/
illwieckz has joined #neo900
<DocScrutinizer05>
rather interesting than poor quality
<DocScrutinizer05>
the codec is sufficiently high quality to compete with playback quality of the average CD player
<atk>
don't know the quality of the average CD player
<atk>
But as long as it's not crap then that's good :P
<DocScrutinizer05>
the digital mics I can't say I know much about thir real quality
<DocScrutinizer05>
on paper they look good enough
<atk>
I have a dedicated sony recording device if I ever needed to record anything
<houkime>
Yes, and the problem with this is that amplified analog circuits need to have a separated ground and everything
<DocScrutinizer05>
atk: that's what we want to compete with
<atk>
I see
<atk>
it's very good quality to be honest
<atk>
very clear recording
<houkime>
so all audio stuff will have a dedicated plot of a groundplane beneath it that should be separated.
<DocScrutinizer05>
houkime: luckily we have digital mics
<DocScrutinizer05>
well, "separated" is not exactly the right specification/word
<DocScrutinizer05>
you need to make sure your analog GND has no digital noise on it, from strong current flowing same path
<DocScrutinizer05>
in Neo900 we use differential signaling a lot, for audio
<DocScrutinizer05>
this mitigates GND issues
<DocScrutinizer05>
and 3.6mm AV-jack "GND" is also of that type, IIRC
<DocScrutinizer05>
3.5 even
<DocScrutinizer05>
at least for mic-in
<atk>
hmm
<atk>
it would be nice to properly test the prototype's audio capabilities
<atk>
under load and off load both mic input and audio output
<atk>
because 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 fact
<atk>
but if there's interference from the other components then you're kind of screwed

<houkime>
Yeah, kind of had this sort of poor design on an Asus Xonar board.
<DocScrutinizer05>
that's one of the purpises of proto_v2
<DocScrutinizer05>
purposes*
<DocScrutinizer05>
I know about that sort of fsckup ;-)

ooh this was SPAM, just if you didn't notice
<qwazix>
I'm really curious what is the attack vector here...
<Joerg-Neo900>
annoyance
<Joerg-Neo900>
like all spam
<qwazix>
most spam do have some kind of a goal
<Joerg-Neo900>
the spam of today was just to annoy grumble and freenode staff in general
<qwazix>
trolling then...
<Joerg-Neo900>
it's an idiot script kiddie with a botnet under their command, fighting a personal war against freenode staff
<qwazix>
:nod:
<atk>
qwazix: I think it's just attacks on freenode as a network
<atk>
probably by some trolls from another network
<atk>
they're trying to get lots of people to go to the #freenode channel and harass people
<qwazix>
I hope they somehow end up in jail
<atk>
That's unlikely
<atk>
and maybe a bit over the top
<qwazix>
I 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.
<Joerg-Neo900>
for running a botnet they should go to jail
<qwazix>
It destroys the utility of the network. But that's off topic so I'm gonna shut up now.
<Joerg-Neo900>
hi qwazix, long time no see :-)
<qwazix>
yeah true, I've been quite absent...
<qwazix>
how's everything?
<Joerg-Neo900>
getting old
<qwazix>
I see there's a proto Neo900?
<qwazix>
me too :)
<Joerg-Neo900>
houkime does layout work right now
<Joerg-Neo900>
for proto_v2
<Joerg-Neo900>
the 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 continue
<qwazix>
good 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 day
<Joerg-Neo900>
I got a Cat S60 as auxiliary device and to learn why I hate android and google. N900 still my primary phone
<qwazix>
The state of mobile computing has become sad...
<Joerg-Neo900>
indeed
<qwazix>
I got an Xperia XZ and trying to work it without google. (f-droid ans stuff from around the web)
<Joerg-Neo900>
Neo900 and STEP2 would be more important than ever. Alas the interest and understanding by 'marjet' aka customers/users is worse than ever
<qwazix>
but FOSS app quality is lacking compared to maemo and even harmattan
<Joerg-Neo900>
market
<qwazix>
yep
<qwazix>
gtg. bye.

How rearrangeable are io expanders.
<houkime>
?
<Joerg-Neo900>
totally
<houkime>
ok
<Joerg-Neo900>
no legacy in them, so do with them whatever needed
<Joerg-Neo900>
we 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 either

schematics bug: look at display connector LED.
<houkime>
it has wron reference
<houkime>
it points on the connector instead of a led
<freemangordon>
DocScrutinizer05: hi! talking about proto v2, is there any estimation about when it will be available?
<DocScrutinizer51>
sorry, will look into it later, not at home right now
<freemangordon>
on a side note - do you follow leste progress?
<freemangordon>
DocScrutinizer51: ^^^
<DocScrutinizer51>
freemangordon: no estimations. Leste isn't on my short range radar
<houkime>
It is hard to estimate really.
<freemangordon>
you;re not curious? hmm...
<houkime>
I was in a BOB swamp for a while till there was a somewhat plausible solution although weird-looking
<houkime>
And it seems there are many more obstacles.
<freemangordon>
houkime: I know we (engineers) hate to provide deadlines :), however my question was not about some hard deadline, but more about the gut feeling
<DocScrutinizer51>
freemangordon: I'm curious but tii mucg on my plate
<freemangordon>
as always :)
<freemangordon>
the same reason I didn;t follow the progress here for a while
<houkime>
gut feeling: I will be a new man when we finish this.
<DocScrutinizer51>
sorry afk, laters
<freemangordon>
houkime: you're on your own with some help from doc, right?
<houkime>
Pretty much.
<houkime>
If I learned sth is that every extra feature in a tiny package has a huge headache cost.
<houkime>
oh. maybe there's no bug. It may be a display-integrated LED.
<qwazix>
enyc: now I am. I also saw that postmarketos is bundling hildon. I'm also watching the librem 5 space as gnome-shell is very maemo-like.
<qwazix>
<rant> but tbh I feel a bit burnt out with all these failed attempts and the ageing hardware and the state of the web requiring huge amounts of ram and cpu</rant over>
