Hi,
Is it possible to lock an XO that came from the factory unlocked?
All of our XOs are currently unlocked and we are comfortable with
that for the moment. However, we may want to change this in the
future.
Yes, entirely possible; Martin can help.

This sounds like the problem with TurtleArt
The bias is present in voltage mode.
The version for sensors on the xo1.5 is

The bias is not leakage and capacitance, 15k ohms at the socket halves the bias
voltage at the socket.

This matches what Walter and I are observing with TurtleArt 103.
TA uses commands issued to amixer, amixer seems to be behaving inconsistently.
Biases of 5k and 15k have been observed but unpredictably. The amixer commands
that should switch the bias off just change the gain. With 0dB

From the XO-1.5 hardware spec at
http://wiki.laptop.org/images/f/f0/CL1B_Hdwe_Design_Spec.pdf
2.7.4External Microphone Input
.
An external voltage applied to this input is limited to between 0 and 3.5 V.
Inputs exceeding this range may cause excessive current to flow through a
The published XO-1.5 spec is very conservative.
But unfortunately, layout concerns prevented me from
providing too much protection. The parts used (1/16W)
should protect up to 9V continuously,
ignore previous mail, question answered
thats +-9V?
Just make sure you keep in mind the difference between the specification and
what is likely to be acceptable. One value is better suited to personal
tinkering, the other to widespread propagation.
Good point. As background to my questions Turtle Art 103 now supports sensor
input.
I would like to make a request for a protection resistor between the microphone
socket and the protection zener diode on the 1.75 so it can more safely be used
with external sensors.

Sorry, on closer inspection its not locked up, it just looks like its locked up
because it is doing something else for a long time.

Unfortunately it saves 11 photos to the journal every time it starts. There is
no way to easily delete multiple journal items. Suggest that it only saves
these photos on the first start and maybe only 4 photos.

Thanks
When XoPhoto loads, it checks for at least 10 images, (mime_type
.png,.jpg,.tif). If there're not enough to play around with, load 11.
This I expect is what happened, I had 2 of my own images, it installed 11 more,
I deleted 4, ran it again and it installed 11 more.
