Re: Solar charger (was Re: News Openmoko Shop Pulster)

I thought I would provide some of my experience with using solar power. My experience involves using a 12v panel. You can get 12v panels from all kinds of places. In order to step down 12v to the required 5v you will need an efficient dc converter: http://us.100y.com.tw/PNoInfo/21207.htm Do NOT us

Subversion access to new project

I'm not sure who to email about this issue; but I have opened a openboat project on the projects area, but I can't seem to commit anything. I have used both dav and ssh. I have created a directory structure with my work to date, then run: First method is ssh: svn import . svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED

Re: robotics anyone?

As I posted earlier, I have already been using the Neo1973 as a main CPU for my solar powered robotic boat. I am using it with Phidget controllers which are USB based. Phidgets have API's for C#, C, Java and Python. I'm using the Python API. The Neo is an ideal robotics platform with communication

Re: Robotics and Openmoko

I have a blog at: http://www.devcentre.org Under the "science" tab I've got all my Open Boat content, with articles from conception to implementation. I've made some mistakes along the way, some quite expensive - such as blowing up a motor controller by plugging it into the wrong polarity, and I

Robotics and Openmoko

I've been doing some robotics with Openmoko; with the Neo 1973. I thought I would introduce myself a little. Since January this year I have been working on a solar powered autonomous boat project. I decided on using a Openmoko as the on board computer as it has excellent power requirement characte

Re: ancient hardware?

I wouldn't focus on the age of the hardware at all. The real question is whether this will be a hardware platform that others will be able to build innovation on top of. With phone companies making available only applications which earn them money you have not really seen the same kind of innovati

Re: questions about our mailinglists

I was a little confused about all the lists myself. I have started developing apps on the Openmoko, but not for the core - aka I doubt my apps would ever be distributed as part of a standard distro as they focus on robotics. I think it would be good to rationalise the number of lists. Right now I s
