Sadlmkr,

I get the same /dev/ttyACMO for an Arduino as the working port. I have to set the baud rate depending on Arduino. I use it as an intermediary when hacking hardware. Its capable of 4800 up to 115000 so far. I havent tried anything above that.

No, I understood, but this was going in the back of my suv and I don't have the cords to stretch that far right now, I just forgot to tell you that part. Sorry. You are entirely correct that the antenna mounted right on the usb dongle would cut losses. My communication skills are almost as bad as my...

Part of the setup that is not shown in the photo is a USB TP-Link TL-WN722N WiFi unit with an external removable antenna. I then got a TP-Link TL-AN2408C 8 db antenna with a magnetic mount. That antenna is what I am focusing the parabolic dish on. I have never played with parabolic antennas. Looking...

I havent done much with tv boxes. I did find out if you over heat a pi it throttles back. Overclock only if you provide good heat sinks and possibly a fan. Standard fans are 12 volt, the Pi fans are 5 volt and noisy. I havent found a good way to cool it. I am thinking a dual voltage supply. I have a...

It was to big, you caught me adjusting it. It should show up now.

So I came up with an extra satellite reflector. Being a generally curious fellow I wondered if I could use it with my Wardriving rig. My standard set up is a CF-19 Mk1, usb Wifi with external antenna that has a magnetic mount, and Pharos 500 gpsr. First I modified the mount for the dish, I cut the p...

The Raspberry Pi connector S2 is a display serial interface and I found the pinout. I disassembled a 27 and the lcd is a nice unit, but it is closely tied to the touch screen I think. So I need to find the schematics for the lcd / touch screen. This could be fun or disaster. Here is the pin out on t...

I bought some things from ADOR and vice versa. I found out he lives close to my in laws. So on a flying trip to see the in laws I got to stop by and meet ADOR in person and trade stuff. I wish we had more time, but like I said flying trip. Now there is a terrible problem with meeting a fellow collec...

I use Foxtrot on both a CF-19 and a CF-29, the built in gps unit failed on the 29, gpsd picked up the dongle from MS Streets and Trips quickly, its a Pharos500 usb unit. I stored Open Street maps and update occasionally. I don't have an internet connection when I am driving, it does fine. Look for a...

Somebody working on Android (or hex boot, :headbang: lol) can hijack this thread if they want. See... homework stopped my experiments and then my internet went down, xxxx said they could NOT fix it even though I pay them because yyyy supplied the equipment and bandwidth, yyyy says they cant touch it...
