And they have bad chips in them! The white sticker on the box say's "Before these will work correctly, you must upgrade them"... So I think to myself, "Smartbridges said they pulled back all the ones they still had with bad chips, so these must not have any heat issues... right.." WRONG!
Here's a nice little 30 second movie: http://www.iodamedia.net/new-appo.avi One on the bottom is running the .8 code, one on top is running the code it came with, .5 Now, they got deliverd at around 12:30pm CDT. I wasn't there, called them on the phone and told them to sit them outside in the sun, plugged in just for grins. This day (yesterday) happen to be breaking record temps all over the place. It showed 102*F on the temp readout on my jeep. These units were warm, but not hot to the touch. "burnning" to the human touch is around 50*C (122*F). MUCH lower than what the units are rated at. But anyway, you can very plainly see that on the bottom unit, it's working just as normal (RFtxrx light blinks), but on the top one... it's totaly off. DEAD... well, I didn't replace the two AP's that I needed to replace still. I tested them today.. I'm going to put up the screen shots from it.. it's quite funny, and let's just say I found a few FW bugs in the airBridge, or else SB you make good enough of a radio that it connected to an AP 5 miles away, through/around a large hill, and through 20+ multistory brick buildings (with a RSSI of -20 something and a LQ of 90%+ and passing traffic for a while) The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org
