Hello,

Sorry I found only GTA04A4  but not GTA04A5 with LTE for pre order and
price.

Why

Thanks for your answer

Best regards

 Hi all,

 What will be different to GTA04A4?

 * the GPS receiver can provide a 1 second impulse interrupt to the CPU
 * the infrared receiver can be independently powered off (it was
 alternatively powered with RS232 before)
 * some sensors have been upgraded to non-obsolete versions (e.g. BMA180 is
 out of production)
 * WLAN/BT power controlled through a GPIO (so that VAUX4 is now free for
 other use)
 * 6-pin ZIF connector for external keyboard or other I2C devices
 * it is possible to use a new earpiece (from Knowles) so that we finally
 can offer a complete case kit
 * the GPS antenna switch has been redesigned
 * improved headset detection hardware
 * CPU will be always 1 GHz and Memory 512MB RAM / 1GB NAND
 * UMTS module may have newer firmware inside (tbc.)
 * there is a plan for a 3D printed case (approx. 50 EUR) with integrated
 touch pen
 * there will be 3D data (STEP) of the PCB and components so that you can
 design your own case that fits with a micrometer precision :)

 Preliminary (there may still come minor changes coming from PCB
 Layout tuning and from first production feedback) schematics can be found

 Why

If you look at the date (22 janvier 2013), a long time has passed. We did start 
for preorders
back then, but there wasn't enough response. So it was put on hold some weeks 
later.

In the meantime the list cited below is still almost correct, but not 
everything.

Now, we are *thinking* about restarting the project with *maybe* LTE (option).

Restarting means to think about all details - and decide if it is now a better 
time to
do it. You know world economy has changed, attitudes for openness, freerom have
changed and people are no longer following that much the top 2 brands.

I.e. please wait for a new announcement.

BR,
Nikolaus

Re: SHR: monitoring charching rate, voltage, ...

Hi,

Matthias Apitz g...@unixarea.de writes:
 I would like todo some charching tests with my special charger (a
 minty-boost, http://learn.adafruit.com/minty-boost?view=all ),
 is there a simple way with some shell scripting to monitor every minute
 or so the current charging rate, voltage etc. of the process?

See /sys/class/power_supply/battery/uevent (and other files in there if
you need file-per-parameter).
