<qi-bot> [commit] Paul Cercueil: Disable inotify support if libopk is not found (packages) http://qi-hw.com/p/gmenu2x/0ee45d5
<qi-bot> [commit] Paul Cercueil: Fix build for platforms without libopk (packages) http://qi-hw.com/p/gmenu2x/6947997
<pcercuei> soooo
<pcercuei> when do we merge that branch back to 'master'?
<mth> now?
<pcercuei> I fixed the build for the old A320 toolchain, I assume it will compile just fine with the Nanonote toolchain too
<pcercuei> the only new requirement it has, is the font
<pcercuei> which is hardcoded in font.c
<pcercuei> font.cpp
<mth> DejaVu is OK license wise, afaik
<pcercuei> (the path to the font)
<mth> so it's only a packaging issue
<mth> kyak (iirc) said that the current package script contains a frozen version
<mth> so it would only become an issue when someone starts updating the package
<pcercuei> ok
<pcercuei> the font it expects to find is /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
<pcercuei> however, it'd be better to have gmenu2x handle the font according to the theme
<kyak> that's correct.. as said, keep doing what you do
<pcercuei> ok, so we have your green light?

<kyak> when someone gets to updating the git revision we run on nanonote, we'll fix possible problems as they appear
<pcercuei> ok
<kyak> franky speaking, i doubt this would happen any time soon
<pcercuei> # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 185 commits.
<pcercuei> mth: good job!
<kyak> i just believe that if development have stopped on the nanonote side (that's realistic, optimistic would be "slowed down"), then it shouldn't block your active improvement
<pcercuei> get ready to be spammed

<pcercuei> what? :(
<mth> pcercuei: a precaution was added to the bot after I did a huge merge on qi-kernel some years ago :)
<pcercuei> I expected 185 messages from qi-bot
<pcercuei> ah :p
<pcercuei> I'll switch branch on buildroot too
<wpwrak> toys ! toys ! toys ! (to sing to the tune of "girls, girls, girls" by Sailor, 1976)
<wpwrak> well, doesn't really matter. i was about to phase out that style of connector anyway (using the "breakable" ones instead)
<wpwrak> so i now have the raw materials for making large holders :)

<wpwrak> might actually be useful a mold clamps :)
<wpwrak> these should actually make nice game controllers for the ben: http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?vendor=0&keywords=CKN10345-N
<wpwrak> needs six signals: two to select the group of switches (wheel+center or direction), and 3-4 for the switch status. plus three diodes, to avoid confusion if there are multiple activations
<wpwrak> well, 6 diodes. seems that the nav switches can be combined too.

<DocScrutinizer05> wpwrak: awesome "compatible replacement" they sent to you
<DocScrutinizer05> USRP o.O
<DocScrutinizer05> "transceiver" :-o
<wpwrak> naw, they didn't try to replace it. they just picked the wrong part
* DocScrutinizer05 idly wonders about the TX part
<wpwrak> but i don't actually need the critters i originally ordered since the breakable strip can replace them perfectly (and frees me from having to stock a dozen different sizes)
<DocScrutinizer05> God, if only they had added and integrated an up-converter for the range 50kHz..50MHz
<DocScrutinizer05> I'd probably throw money at the screen
<DocScrutinizer05> the tech specs "page" is a bit sparse
<DocScrutinizer05> wait... no such page at all
<DocScrutinizer05> hmm, 2p pdf
<wpwrak> it's probbaly all in the source :)
<DocScrutinizer05> yeah
<DocScrutinizer05> I actually found one figure that tells me sth: +10dBm TX out
<DocScrutinizer05> but way more interesting would be proper sesitivity figures
<DocScrutinizer05> well, SSb/LO suppression is a clear value, but not THAT interesting
<DocScrutinizer05> and WTF 1.5deg_RMS@3.5GHz ??
<DocScrutinizer05> I'm prolly too noob to that stuff to figure what it might mean
<DocScrutinizer05> rcv Noise figure: <8dB, hmmm
<DocScrutinizer05> and look at the abysmal "picture" upper right in those 2 pages pdf :-S
<DocScrutinizer05> you have to wonder how they managed to get it that crappy
<DocScrutinizer05> well, obviously this device is not meant to get connected to antennae directly
<DocScrutinizer05> nevertheless quite interesting
<DocScrutinizer05> maybe not as a replacement for a sony multiband receiver http://www.sony.de/product/por-world-band-receivers/icf-sw7600gr but definitely for lab usage
<DocScrutinizer05> I don't even bother to find price for the latter ;-)
<DocScrutinizer05> if you happen to have a surplus one you need to dump at my site, please don't forget to also dump all the extensions from http://www.rohde-schwarz.com/en/product/fsl-options_63490-8042.html
