I don't know enough about Turtle Blocks to comment, but if an application such as Turtle Blocks tries to read the sensor, it will probably block for as long as it takes for the transaction to complete ... roughly 33 milliseconds. I am getting 60mS per read in Turtle Blocks from print time

Hi Testing a 1.75 with the HS 'clicky' keyboard Speak is a bit clicky. The clicks occur in the same places on the same text. Repeat some text: ctrl C ctrl V ctrl V and the same word is clicky, eg 'the quick brown fox' the word 'quick' is noticably more clicky. Power on fanfare sounds

Re: Re: New prototype XO-1.75s in Auckland, New Zealand

Yay!!! The 1.75 arrived today. Got it unbricked ok and installed os36 Ran Turtle art and the accelerometer works. :) You will need V114 though. Does it need the mod where you put tape on the heat spreader near the power jack? There is a thread on the heat spreader, are there any precautions to

Re: Re: Re: Skype on XO 1.5

Thanks Peter and Sameer I was wrong to attribute the lag on Skype on Sugar 0.88 installed with http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Skype to the installation, it works fine, it was internet lag tried yum localinstall skype-2.2.0.35-fedora.i586.rpm on 11.3.0 OS2 but it fails: cannot retrieve repository

Re: Re: C\C++ SDL

Development using C, C++, and SDL, is already supported by the underlying Fedora packages. A student need only install these packages and begin to use the tools. All the IDEs available in Fedora are available on an OLPC XO, and the installation is trivial compared to the task of writing a

Re: Re: [Sugar-devel] Pulse Sensor: an Open Source Heart-rate Sensor that Rocks by Yury Gitman ? Kickstarter

Do you know what kind of voltage that mic input can handle? +/5 VDC? The XO1 is protected at the input by a 5V zener diode. The allowable input is -0.5V to 5V. Inputs outside this range will cause excessive current and damage. Even a single 1.5V battery can cause damage if connected reverse

Sridhar Maybe but I dont think so. The problem was, I think, only for images, not text. Need to go back and check 10930 reads like it would apply to either text or image Tony Could this be due to http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10930 ? Sridhar On 24 June 2011 16:43, Sridhar Dhanapalan

Re: Re: XO-1 touchpad once more

My experience is that the xo1 touchpad previously had infrequent periods of total unusability, that is you just had to shut the lid and do something else for an hour but this was a relatively rare event, maybe once a week Now the touchpad auto-recalibrates, there are frequent periods of
