#rockbox log for 2006-08-05

00:01:55 Quit obo ("bye")
00:02:15freqmodlet's talk about something else: is there interest for a patch to fix image loading on 64 bit simulator hosts?
00:02:20Bagdersaturday, time for bugs and patches mails
00:02:55linuxstbOnly 104 open bugs - and 110 people in this channel...
00:03:14freqmodi could fill it as a bug ;) then wi'll get 105 open bugs
00:03:42Bagderfile the patch instead
00:04:03linuxstbFeels odd that an ipod bug is the third-oldest...
00:04:17freqmodthe only problem is that it uses the unix header stdint.h to get (u)int(16|32)_t
00:04:45linuxstbWhat about inttypes.h ?
00:05:17freqmodwhere is that <rockboxroot>/fimware/export/?
00:05:45freqmodfound it
00:06:24bluebrotherI created that patch some hours ago, maybe someone wants to have a look at it? http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5770
00:07:17freqmodthat's not the same
00:07:43linuxstbbluebrother: Yes, I saw that. m3u8 seems a bit of a pointless extension though...
00:08:09{edf}sshymn only works with itunes up to version 5.01
00:08:14bluebrotheryeah, maybe. I thought I just add it for the sake of completeness.
00:08:27bluebrotherat least it doesn't hurt (imo)
00:09:28linuxstbAlso, why does a utf8 file need a BOM?
00:10:04Bagderwhile(!morning) sleep();
00:10:40bluebrotherlinuxstb, it doesn't need it, but some editors tend to add one. So we should be able of handling it.
00:10:53linuxstbBagder: Hope you don't wake up every second to check if it's morning...
00:11:16bluebrotherI just found skip_utf8_bom(char*) in gwps-common.c
00:11:47{edf}ssnudelyn pics plz

00:34:32gwylionHello...
00:34:56gwylionI need a hand, and was wondering whether anybody could help me.
00:35:32Paul_The_NerdGo ahead and ask whatever question you may have. If those around can help, they often will
00:36:03gwylionSorry, I think I might have just found the answer... :) I'm trying to install Rockbox on my iRiver H320, from a Mac.
00:36:36 Part Paul_The_Nerd
00:36:47 Quit bluebrother ("'night!")
00:37:20gwylionThe Rockbox site didn't seem to have much info on it... I downloaded the source code file. I compiled scramble, descramble and mkboot
00:37:35gwylionI descrambled the hex file to a bin file successfully.
00:38:02gwylionBut when I tried to patch it using mkboot, I got an error: rockbox-2.5/tools/mkboot H300.bin bootloader-h300.bin new.bin => Bus error
00:38:35gwylionAny ideas?
00:38:39linuxstbAh - don't use the rockbox-2.5 source - that's extremely old. Get the latest source - either the daily build or cvs build.
00:39:58gwylionAaah! Thank you! :) I'll try again.

00:49:12gwylionBrilliant. Thanks linuxstb. mkboot works now. :)
00:51:10gwylionAnd I've scrambled it successfully, ending up with the right checksum. Thanks again!

01:07:49falconfoxis there a way to make the scroll-wheel go faster for the ipod color, it takes forever to get to the bottom of the alphabet
01:08:58linuxstbThere's a patch in the patch tracker which tries to implement that. Some of the ipod experimental builds available in the forums include that patch if you don't want to compile Rockbox yourself.
01:09:41falconfoxok cool
01:10:04falconfoxdo you konw what the patch is called?
01:11:27linuxstbNo, but a search for "scroll" or "scrollwheel" or "clickwheel" should find it.
01:11:41falconfoxalright, i found it

01:21:13meshugaso i'm trying to put rockbox on my 3g ipod. I had an archos before, and love it. I've copied it over, and now my screen is white
01:21:18meshugathe bootlaoder booted fine
01:21:23meshugait looked good, then went white
01:21:32meshugaif i hold it at a tilt, i can barely see rockbox
01:21:35meshugano buttons do anything
01:21:36meshugaany ideas?
01:22:16meshugai used linux to put it on
01:22:19meshugai'll try it in windows
01:22:43linuxstbLinux should work fine...
01:23:04meshugawork fine for what?
01:23:10meshugaoh, to load it? nope.
01:23:10linuxstbInstalling Rockbox.
01:23:22meshugait gave me the error above :(
01:23:27meshugaany ideas?
01:23:31Mikachuyour deduction seems a bit strange
01:23:41meshugamy deduction?
01:23:50Mikachublaming linux
01:23:50meshugai didnt make any judgements. i just followed directions.
01:23:55meshugai didnt blame linux.
01:24:13meshugai never said linux caused the fault, i just figured i'd try windows.
01:24:21meshugado you guys have any other ideas?
01:24:26meshugastock is fine.
01:24:37meshugaipodlinux didnt work either, so it could be the ipod (i got it for free)
01:24:39BHSPitLappyit's more of a pain-in-the-arse to do it on windows than in linux.
01:24:41linuxstbYou haven't given us much to go on.... Which bootloader did you download and install?
01:24:52meshugahttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallationFromLinux
01:24:56meshugafollowed these instructions
01:25:06meshugai used bootloader-3g.bin
01:25:15meshugadunno which one that is..
01:25:38meshugaand yes, i have a 3g. i know cuz there is buttons in the middle, instead of just the wheel (very easy indicator)
01:25:50linuxstbIt's definitely not a 1g or 2g?
01:26:19linuxstbThere's only one developer with a 3g, and he's not around at the moment...
01:26:21meshugaoh, i dunno actually
01:26:28meshugai just went off the pics on rockbox..
01:26:32meshugahttp://www.rockbox.org/download/
01:26:39meshugaonly one thats similar is a 3g
01:27:02Mikachubut 1g and 2g aren't represented
01:27:15meshugais the process different for those models?
01:27:20linuxstbSo it has four buttons in a line under the LCD?
01:27:28meshugayessir
01:27:38linuxstbThen that's a 3g.
01:28:16linuxstbCan you see any messages from the bootloader when it boots?
01:28:40meshugayes, the bootloader doesnt have any errors
01:28:53linuxstbBut the messages are displayed clearly?
01:29:09meshugayup
01:29:14meshugaand then i see rockbox logo fine
01:29:23meshugathen it like leaves backlight on as strong as possible
01:29:26meshugaso its hard as hell to see shit
01:29:48linuxstbThen it would seem the bootloader is installed fine. The rockbox logo means that Rockbox itself has been started, so that part is working as well.
01:30:23 Quit falconfox ()
01:30:28 Part pixelma
01:31:06linuxstbAll I can suggest is coming back tomorrow and see if dan_a is around - he's our only 3g developer.
01:31:32linuxstbBut it doesn't seem to be an installation issue - just Rockbox not working on your ipod for some reason.
01:31:39 Quit mkey (""Welcome to IRC; Where men are men, women are men and little girls are FBI agents!"")
01:31:48meshugayea it actually comes up
01:31:52meshugabut the backlight is just on full blast
01:32:14meshugaso i have to look at it at an angle
01:32:28BHSPitLappybut it appears correctly if you look at an angle?
01:32:38linuxstbHave you looked to see if there is a setting to reduce the brightness? (I've no idea if there is one)
01:32:39BHSPitLappyyou just need to know how to change the contrast??
01:32:40meshugayup
01:32:47meshugalinuxstb: i'm trying to find it
01:32:49meshugayes pls
01:32:55meshugaits hard to find when looking at an angle :)
01:33:09BHSPitLappyoh, but your buttons don't work you said.
01:33:13BHSPitLappybummer.
01:33:14meshuganope my buttons work now
01:33:17meshugait finally came up
01:33:18BHSPitLappyoh
01:33:21meshugatook like 3 reboots
01:33:30BHSPitLappythen look through settings
01:33:35BHSPitLappy(the LCD category I believe)
01:33:35meshugaand it finally moved past the rockbox logo. the odd part is, the first logo on bootup and the bootloader looks great
01:33:37Mikachui would guess display->lcd
01:33:41meshugaheh i cant read the settings very well
01:33:55BHSPitLappyget glasses?
01:34:01Mikachutry booting with the hold switch on, maybe rockbox decided there were saved settings?
01:34:05meshugawooot it was constrat!
01:34:10Mikachunever mind then
01:34:22meshugaBHSPitLappy: heh dude, its cuz the constrat by default is totally off
01:34:26meshugamy vision has 0 to do with it :)
01:34:42meshugaconstrast was like 30
01:35:03meshuganow its at 48 and i can read txt now, yay
01:37:05netmasta10btbagder: still around?

02:45:02linuxstbConvert them to another format.
02:45:05Mikachuor give someone here a lot of money

02:47:18netmasta10btanyone else working on e200
02:47:42linuxstbI don't think so.
02:47:55linuxstb(just Bagder and the mysterious MrH)
02:48:00netmasta10btheh
02:48:18netmasta10btwell it appears that the 'BL' that is built isn't really a BL but a firmware the way we are loading it
02:48:30linuxstbYes - we know that.
02:48:44netmasta10btoh ok, i guess the terminology threw me off
02:48:58netmasta10btwish i new that a bit ago :)
02:49:18linuxstbIt's how Rockbox works on a lot of targets - the original firmware's bootloader loads the Rockbox bootloader (thinking the Rockbox bootloader is the original firmware), and then the Rockbox bootloader will load either Rockbox or the OF.
02:49:33netmasta10btahhh
02:50:22netmasta10btok, cuz bagder mentioned a bit ago today that after i load a new PP5022.mi4 to recover i might have to reload the original BL −− but that is not the case
02:50:41netmasta10btthe BL does not get touched
02:51:15linuxstbI don't know the details on the Sansa.
02:51:28netmasta10btwell u knew more than me :)

03:18:03ShadowdogMUiPod?
03:18:30Mikachuyeah, i made the decoded audio buffer bigger than the file buffer, i have a nano so there is no disk to spin up
03:18:48Mikachui would have to scroll through lists like crazy for 20 seconds to make it skip
03:18:57ShadowdogMUImpressive
03:19:11ShadowdogMUSo why does it skip on Rockbox but now default?
03:19:13ShadowdogMUnot on*
03:19:42Mikachuwell, apple knows exactly how it works, we have to guess
03:19:50Mikachuand the rockbox code isn't very optimized for ipods yet
03:19:58Mikachuand also, the ipod has two cpus but rockbox only uses one
03:20:05ShadowdogMUo.O
03:20:15ShadowdogMUThat's not fun, plans to utilize both in the works?
03:20:28Mikachudan_a is working on it
03:21:23ShadowdogMUGood to know
03:21:41ShadowdogMUSo in the end, will Rockbox be optimized to make use of battery life more efficiently?
03:21:53Mikachuyeah, i hope so at least :)
03:22:09ShadowdogMUI really hope someone adds video support
03:22:23ShadowdogMUVideo Support, and optimized battery life and I would be happy
03:22:33Mikachuthe video hardware is even less publically documented
03:23:02ShadowdogMUGreat, that basically means less change of it working with Rockbox, eh?
03:23:08Mikachuyes
03:23:09ShadowdogMUchance*, can't type tonight
03:23:52ShadowdogMUOk, I lied, I want accessory support as well, because I am pretty sure switch firmwares often can't be great on my battery life
03:25:14sharpeShadowdogMU: well, perhiprial support depends on an undocumented protocol, so until someone figures it out, we're pretty much in the dark about it...
03:26:46ShadowdogMUfigures, after my iTrip comes in, I'll have to see what is more versatile, running Rockbox or Apple primarily
03:27:11ShadowdogMUit might be best for me to run Apple all the time, and switch to Rockbox when I want the "ohh ahh" factor, games, and a new look
03:27:20ShadowdogMUhaven't had time to play around with the Rockbox EQ though
03:27:42sharpeyou can always just get an fm transmitter that isn't dependant on an ipod...
03:28:00Mikachuor get a car radio with line-in
03:28:03ShadowdogMUI try not to use any though, more work on the processor = less battery life and in Rockbox's case, probably more skipping
03:28:04sharpeindeed.
03:28:16ShadowdogMUtoo late, already bought my iTrip
03:28:27ShadowdogMUjust went to the store, but they didn't have it in white, figures, so they are shipping it to me
03:28:30sharpeeh. not too late to sell it. :)
03:29:10ShadowdogMUheh.
03:29:30sharpei actually need to get new earbuds...
03:29:44*ShadowdogMU has 2 pair of iPod headphones
03:29:46Mikachujust get a sharpe with linein
03:30:02sharpeyep. i work just as well.
03:30:52ShadowdogMUSo I've wondered this, if you go into iPod diagnostics mode, it tests "Line in", is there hidden stuff to enable recording maybe, even with accessories?
03:31:28sharpewhat do you mean?
03:31:49MikachuShadowdogMU: linuxstb recently got some basic recording working on 5g i think, via the headphone contact
03:31:59Mikachu(in rockbox)
03:32:10sharpeMikachu: i thought he had it with the line-in on his dock...
03:32:26 Quit midkay ("Leaving")
03:32:30Mikachuwas the 4g via the contact then?
03:32:39sharpei don't remember the 4g.
03:32:56Mikachui remember it was via the contact on at least one model
03:33:09sharpemay have been the 4g then...
03:33:11ShadowdogMUdefine contact
03:33:16sharpeheadphone jack.
03:33:27ShadowdogMUnothing else required?
03:33:32sharpenope.
03:33:35ShadowdogMUWow.
03:33:35Mikachuno, he could even record via the headphones
03:33:51ShadowdogMUHow would that work? plug in a mic there?
03:33:53Mikachubut not 100% sure it was on 5g now
03:34:14ShadowdogMUstill, I consider it amazing
03:34:25sharpewell, it's only a matter of a microphone-like device being connected, speakers would work, since they are essentially the same thing... but they wouldn't work as well.
03:34:38sharpes/speakers/headphones
03:35:20ShadowdogMUReally, you can record through speakers?
03:35:39sharpeyeah... same principle as a microphone.
03:35:51ShadowdogMUimpressive
03:36:02Mikachucomputer speakers usually don't work since they have builtin amplifiers and stuff
03:36:12sharpewell, it's always been like that as long as we've had magnets and wire...
03:38:25sharpewell, for speakers, ones without an external power source would be the best bet to work... :)
03:40:10sharpeeh. i spelt peripheral wrong.
03:40:35Mikachuwhen did you say peripheral?
03:40:50sharpe<sharpe> ShadowdogMU: well, perhiprial support depends on an undocumented protocol, so until someone figures it out, we're pretty much in the dark about it...

03:42:26sharpeyep. i'm a quick one like that.
03:43:03ShadowdogMUis there a tiny speaking in the ipod, how else does it make a "click"?
03:43:06sharpehas totally nothing to do with it though. i'm subtle.
03:43:29MikachuShadowdogMU: yes
03:43:30sharpeit has a piezoelectric speaker...
03:43:36Mikachuyou can make it beep too
03:43:51Mikachui made an awesome plugin that beeps with a frequency that depends on where you have your finger on the wheel
03:43:56ShadowdogMUI've got it to beep

03:50:48Mikachuthe capitalization is apparently important
03:51:07sharpenot if you see everything in lowercase.
03:51:47ShadowdogMUhow much ram does the 30gb 5g have?
03:51:51sharpe32mb.

03:52:09Mikachu120?
03:52:13sharpe-1.
03:52:16ShadowdogMUnifty, always wondered
03:52:29Mikachubut rockbox only uses 32 in either case i think
03:52:51sharpealthough, there is a patch to utilize all 64mb on the 60gigs...
03:52:55ShadowdogMUI just had an idea, iLinux can play video on the nanos right?
03:53:08sharpeiLinux...?
03:53:18ShadowdogMULinux for your iPod
03:53:21sharpelast i heard it was ipodlinux...
03:53:24Mikachuthat angers me, it's lInux
03:53:34ShadowdogMUIs it really?
03:53:43Mikachuno, it's iPodLinux
03:53:57ShadowdogMUWell yes, but it can play videos
03:54:02sharpetry asking in #ipodlinux if it's ilinux or ipodlinux... :-D
03:54:14ShadowdogMUand not just mpeg4 and h.264 or w/e it is
03:54:20ShadowdogMUso it is possible for Rockbox to

04:08:19sharpethey come with rockbox.
04:08:38Febscowmilk2, take a look at the manual, it will give you an excellent overview of what Rockbox can do.
04:08:39ShadowdogMUWhat is the iPod's default volume range?
04:08:49arowi really like the rockbox software!
04:08:56FebsShadowdogMU, what do you mean "default"?
04:08:56cowmilk2codecs come with rocxbox? so there's no way of separetng rocxbox from its codecs
04:09:04cowmilk2nor would i want to separate the 2, right?
04:09:07sharpeShadowdogMU: the left of the screen, to the right of the screen. :)
04:09:13ShadowdogMUDefault as in Apple's Firmware
04:09:19ShadowdogMUI meant in terms of dB :P
04:09:33sharpecowmilk2: you really don't need to worry about the size of rockbox...
04:09:36cowmilk2what do you guys think of the other software... linuxpod or something like that
04:09:52cowmilk2or ipodlinux... i forgot the name
04:10:06FebsI don't believe that the Apple fw uses a dB scale for volume.
04:10:08ShadowdogMUipodlinux is correct
04:10:14MikachuFebs: it uses a blue bar
04:10:28ShadowdogMUWell I know they don't, but hasn't someone at least estimated it?
04:10:31sharpeMikachu: like i said, left of the screen, to the right of the screen.
04:10:34cowmilk2ShadowdogMU: how does ipodlinux compare with rockbox? can ipodlinux play wma files?
04:10:44ShadowdogMUcowmilk2 haven't used it
04:10:58ShadowdogMUcowmilk2: #ipodlinux
04:11:06excitatorycowmilk2: dude, calm down. rockbox works out of the box, and you'll love it. at best, you'll want themes.
04:11:23ShadowdogMUThemes, oh yes: http://www.brockarthur.com/zupload/dump%20060804-121832.bmp
04:11:37excitatoryi use it on my nano with zero problems. plays everything flawlessly.
04:12:11cowmilk2excitatory: i think i'll love it.
04:12:20ShadowdogMUcowmilk2, you will.
04:12:24cowmilk2excitatory: the only complaint that i have (as of yet) is the battery life.
04:12:53ShadowdogMUYes, but remember the iPod rockbox has a bit of ways to go
04:13:04cowmilk2apple says 14 hours for default apple software. while rockbox page shows about 7 hours for my 5g iPod
04:13:14ShadowdogMUI believe it just recently got sound
04:13:27ShadowdogMUcowmilk2, Apple has gotten sued over inaccurate battery life ratings
04:13:30Jungti1234hm
04:13:41excitatoryyea, on my nano, i listen to it all day at work. probably get a solid 6-8 hours of constant play, with the occasional playlist modification here and there.. and a brief shutdown for lunch.
04:13:45cowmilk2ShadowdogMU: but is there any validity to the suing?
04:13:57ShadowdogMUYou may get 14 hours if you have 1 playlist, no backlight, and you hit play once and that is it, volume at it's lowest

04:16:13cowmilk2i understand that rockbox is still in its baby stage and is still growing up. but if i understand the nature of rockbox correctly, rockbox will never come close to the battery life usage as that of default Apple software, yes?
04:16:37excitatorycowmilk2: no, untrue.. it's basically on par with the apple firmware in my tests
04:16:46cowmilk2And this is because, I understand, rockbox is playing from the hardware, as opposed to the apple software playing from ____ (somewhere else).
04:16:54cowmilk2excitatory: is that right?
04:16:55cowmilk2cool
04:17:09excitatorybut i never got more than 8 hours with the apple firmware
04:17:19excitatoryand this was the first week i owned the thing.
04:17:59cowmilk2excitatory: you have a 30 gig 5th get?
04:18:01cowmilk2gen?
04:18:11excitatoryalso, the format of your music and bit rate will affect it as well.
04:18:35excitatoryif you're listening to flac files, your battery will drain a lot faster than a 192kbps mp3, or even q6 ogg
04:18:48cowmilk2excitatory: i see. a higher bit rate means faster battery drainage
04:18:48excitatorycowmilk2: no, just the nano
04:18:57sharpecowmilk2: both the apple firmware and rockbox play audio with a software codec...
04:19:01Febscowmilk2, Rockbox uses software codecs.
04:19:25excitatorywell, yes, more processing power is needed to decode the file at those rates
04:19:34cowmilk2Febs: what's your point?
04:19:37excitatoryand so slightly more power is consumed
04:19:40ShadowdogMUEQ too, use the EQ>

04:20:47ShadowdogMUit could get bad
04:20:49excitatoryidk, 95% of my music is q6 ogg, and i get at least 7 hours of continuous play, with a backlit screen, loud volume, and playlist changes periodically.

04:21:58cowmilk2arow: nope i am not dutch. why do you ask?
04:22:09sharpetechnically it's two cores... not two processors... :)
04:22:13excitatorycowmilk2: really, the only thing you need to know is that the interface is odd at first, but you'll grow to LOVE it once you give it a chance and actually learn it, and two, the default theme is a joke, and you really need to replace it immediately.
04:22:31cowmilk2ShadowdogMU: what's the siginficane of the Rockbox using only one processor (or core, as sharpe says)?
04:22:50arowcowmilk2: cause you sayd "gratis-internet"
04:23:13cowmilk2excitatory: based on what you said, i guess i don't need to worry about rockbox's battery life usage
04:23:29cowmilk2arow: no, that's the name of the website/company that gave me an iPod
04:23:37ShadowdogMUcowmilk2, think about it, if a computer has a dual core processor, but only uses one, what happens?

04:24:33ShadowdogMUI was using a hypthetical sitution
04:24:46cowmilk2why does'nt rockbox use both processors (or cores), then?
04:24:53cowmilk2if using both processors is better?
04:24:55Febscowmilk2, the point is that Rockbox has untapped potential.
04:24:55ShadowdogMUNot coded yet

04:25:18cowmilk2oh, is dan_a the man behind rocxbox

04:26:46cowmilk2it does charge
04:26:48arowcowmilk2: codecs you don't have to be considered about ;)
04:26:53cowmilk2arow: ok
04:26:58ShadowdogMUthen it's 2.0
04:27:16cowmilk2ShadowdogMU: but i hear that 1.0 usb's also charge
04:27:17arowi mean optimized, if you like
04:27:19excitatoryShadowdogMU: wait, that doesn't mean anything.. i've charged off of 1.1
04:27:47ShadowdogMUexcitatory, I've never in my life seen a powered USB 1.1 port
04:27:50excitatoryhe's got a p3 box, i'm willing to bet it's only 1.1, unless there's a usb2 pci card
04:28:03sharpethe usb version doesn't really matter. you can charge off a battery...
04:28:05ShadowdogMUI think that is a safe bet
04:28:10excitatoryShadowdogMU: come over then
04:28:15ShadowdogMUOk, where ya live?
04:28:16excitatoryworks on my old box

04:28:31ShadowdogMUhmm, a bit far, but fine

04:28:55ShadowdogMUbreak a window even
04:29:16ShadowdogMUOk, I want to try to make a theme now
04:29:17cowmilk2ShadowdogMU: excitatory you guys made me chuckle
04:29:42ShadowdogMUcan't be too complicated
04:30:36excitatorycowmilk2: hrm.. the output is not obvious
04:33:14ShadowdogMUexcitatory, cowmilk2 pretty sure it's 1.1

04:33:21ShadowdogMU1.0*
04:33:23cowmilk2ShadowdogMU: how do you know?
04:35:20ShadowdogMUBecause your lspci output told me your USB controller was, 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB
04:35:33ShadowdogMUso a simple google search brought me to the intel page, and gave me the spec pdf
04:36:21cowmilk2ShadowdogMU: ok.
04:36:37cowmilk2if it's version 1, i guess i just have to be patient when i add music to my iPod
04:36:56ShadowdogMUhow many songs do you have?
04:37:22cowmilk2ShadowdogMU: i'm adding the audio slowly
04:37:30cowmilk2by that i mean. a little at a time
04:37:37ShadowdogMUok
04:37:58cowmilk2i still havent' figured out how to get podcasts onto my ipod
04:38:09cowmilk2currently the software i'm using on my box is gtkpod
04:38:17cowmilk2but gtkpod can't fully do podcasts

04:50:38midkay:)
04:51:09fatherforkwhoa whoa, yeah, dang. kick me.
04:51:32midkayliterally, or..?
04:51:44ShadowdogMUI can't get creative enough right now to make a theme
04:51:45ShadowdogMUtomorrow
04:51:47midkaywas that sarcasm or "i'm offended that you told me where they are", or...?
04:51:58fatherforkhypothetically
04:52:08fatherforkneither
04:52:16fatherforkseriously, I just didn't see it
04:52:20midkayyou can't describe it as hypothetical.. that word doesn't fit here!
04:52:26ShadowdogMUdoes rockbox themes support transparency?
04:52:27midkayalright, well now you know where it is. :)
04:52:32fatherforkI know, I just didn't know what to say
04:52:32ShadowdogMUdo*
04:52:38midkayShadowdogMU: what kind? in a way they do.
04:52:38fatherforkthanks
04:52:45fatherforkyes, they do support it
04:52:50midkaynot like 50% transparent, but like this-is-drawn or this-is-not-drawn.
04:53:02ShadowdogMUI mean like alpha transparency
04:53:02fatherforkit's like a pink color correct?
04:53:11midkayShadowdogMU: not really.
04:53:17sharpein fact, that is exactly what we use to signify transparency. this-is-drawn and this-is-not-drawn.
04:53:18ShadowdogMUOk, I'll have to fake it
04:53:20midkay255,0,255 is 100% transparent.

04:55:45ShadowdogMUYes and yes
04:55:53cowmilk2how and how?
04:56:11ShadowdogMU1. apple restore utility or delete and remove bootloaded
04:56:17ShadowdogMU2. just replace the files
04:56:19midkayread the wiki, and unzip a daily build..
04:56:27midkayboth should be in the manual and/or wiki.

05:03:06midkayoh, you should have included the ubuntu part in your question, rather than just "how does anyone here get their podcasts on their ipod".
05:03:17cowmilk2midkay: right
05:03:29cowmilk2coz i thought maybe rockbox does that?
05:03:47midkay.. gets podcasts onto the ipod on which it runs? magically or what?
05:04:08cowmilk2huh?
05:04:16cowmilk2Febs: am reading the manual... and i have a question
05:04:25midkayhow would rockbox get podcasts onto an iPod?
05:04:40cowmilk2midkay: that's what i don' know. i'm still reading up on the nature of rocxbox
05:04:55midkayit modifies what runs on your iPod, not what puts stuff on it. you do that yourself.
05:05:03cowmilk2midkay: i see
05:05:42cowmilk2the rockbox manual says that though the apple firwmware resides entirely on flash memory, most of the rockbox software resides on iPod hard drive...
05:05:45***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
05:05:57midkaywhere does it say that?
05:06:05cowmilk2doesn't this mean that the rockbox cannot ever become as efficient in battery usage as firmware
05:06:15cowmilk2midkay: it says so at http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-buildch1.html#x3-20001

06:04:56BHSPitMonkey"updated" to the version I was already at
06:05:06BHSPitMonkeynot restore
06:05:07cowmilk2BHSPitMonkey: what do you mean?
06:05:35BHSPitMonkeyan update just replaces the firmware partition, a restore wipes the whole device

06:07:25cowmilk2yes, on your ipod.
06:07:51BHSPitMonkeythere's a linux partition on my iPod, because my iPod has (had) linux on it.

06:12:25BHSPitMonkeywhichever I wanted to, is this about "correcting" my decision to use iPodLinux?
06:13:20BHSPitMonkeyif it is, you truly don't "get" the underlying premise of the open-source world in general
06:13:21cowmilkBHSPitMonkey: nope
06:13:26BHSPitMonkeyok
06:13:36cowmilkwhat's your computer os?
06:14:31cowmilki use Ubuntu, an open-source os. i'm not your enemy. i'm not an enemy to the open-source world.
06:14:35BHSPitMonkeyI have several installed. I'm liking Ubuntu, so I've been using it primarily recently.
06:15:08cowmilki only ask what programs _you_ use on your linux partiiton on your ipod because i wanted to know if it's something i should look into
06:15:15cowmilkit <−−ipodlinux
06:16:15BHSPitMonkeythere's always modules for podzilla2 being released by people
06:16:45BHSPitMonkeyI like iDoom and iBoy better than the rock* equivalents
06:17:51BHSPitMonkeythere's usually some cool new developments happening over there, so that part of the project interests me as well.
06:18:47BHSPitMonkeyplus it was the first project I involved myself in when I got an iPod (before finding Rockbox), and I'm just fond of the project and it's people, because I've learned a lot through it
06:19:00BHSPitMonkeyso I'm biased a little bit, personally.
06:19:22cowmilk8-)
06:19:55cowmilkwhen you say "bias", you don't mean you can't see clearly regarding rockbox and ipodlinux, do you?
06:21:15cowmilki'd like to try ipodlinux too, but am scared of undergoing the expeirience you had
06:21:40BHSPitMonkeythis experience wasn't because of iPL (well, I suppose on some level it was)
06:21:41BHSPitMonkeyanyway
06:21:46BHSPitMonkeyI'll get it worked out

06:22:56BHSPitMonkeyBHS = school initials
06:23:26cowmilki see
06:24:27BHSPitMonkeyis your iPod dense with music yet?
06:24:37BHSPitMonkeyor, rather, music that isn't safely backed up on your PC
06:25:00cowmilkBHSPitMonkey: huh?
06:25:15cowmilkum... i've got 1 gig of music on my ipod
06:25:23cowmilki've just started using it this week
06:25:27BHSPitMonkeycould you deal with wiping out the iPod, is your music backed up on the computer
06:25:31cowmilki've still got some stuff i'd like to updolad
06:25:44cowmilkdo i need to wipe out iPod for some reason?
06:25:56cowmilkwell, yes, by music is on my harddrive
06:26:29BHSPitMonkeyiPL has a relatively new installer, so installing it is much easier than it once was
06:27:04BHSPitMonkeybut if you use it, you do have to erase the music you have so far.

06:30:24BHSPitMonkey(in my case, I gave up 64MB)
06:30:33cowmilkso that i can avoid it
06:30:54BHSPitMonkeyumm, just don't run the apple updater.
06:31:25BHSPitMonkeyany time you run the updater, it WILL overwrite your rockbox and/or linux bootloader, anyway
06:31:33BHSPitMonkeyso you wouldn't want to do that probably anyway
06:31:55BHSPitMonkeyI only ran it because I was desperate, and I was trying things to fix a problem I had.
06:32:07BHSPitMonkey(a problem that was more easily solved, I found out)
06:32:25cowmilkBHSPitMonkey: ok. but after the updater overwrites the rockbox and/or linux bootloader, i can just re-install the bootloder, right?
06:32:38cowmilkBHSPitMonkey: what was your prob, and how did you solve
06:33:02cowmilki would like to run the ipod updater because i hear it fixes bugs and perhaps will get my battery usage better
06:33:08cowmilkwhat exactly does the ipod updater do?
06:33:19cowmilkif you can tell me, i can better decide if it's somethinh i don't need
06:33:23BHSPitMonkeymy problem was that my itunes database got itself corrupted , but an iTunes sync ended up fixing it.
06:33:41cowmilkBHSPitMonkey: you mean you had to sync outside of ubuntu?
06:33:56BHSPitMonkeyI still manage my iPod in iTunes.
06:34:09BHSPitMonkeythat's one of the few things I have to reboot into Windows for
06:34:24cowmilkwhy don't you use a linux app? i use gtkpod

06:39:52BHSPitMonkeythe iTunesDB is the basis of the iPod's Apple firmware music player
06:40:02BHSPitMonkeyit's that thing that rockbox hates ;)
06:40:12cowmilkBHSPitMonkey: ah
06:40:35cowmilkso you mean that rockbox can't play any of the songs on the iPod that were loaded with itunesdb?

06:42:01cowmilkah
06:42:10cowmilkwhy did apple do that i wonder?
06:42:20BHSPitMonkeyit goes against the rockbox file structure philosophy, to just have audio files organized in plain-jane directory hierarchy
06:42:40BHSPitMonkeyprobably because it's easy for their software, and hard for everybody elses.

07:00:07midkayiTunesDB doesn't make it "easy for their software", it just makes it more exclusive.
07:00:48Paul_The_Nerdmidkay: It does to an extent.
07:00:57midkaywhy?
07:01:03Paul_The_NerdThe filename will always have the same exact number of characters in it.
07:01:14midkay.. why would that make it easy in any way at all?
07:01:39Paul_The_NerdYou know exactly how much memory you need for filenames without feeling like you waste even a single char.
07:01:47Paul_The_Nerd:-P
07:01:49midkay.. gosh, that simplifies so much...
07:01:50midkay:)
07:02:08midkaynot that they use the filenames...?
07:02:14midkaythe database uses tags.
07:02:28Paul_The_NerdYeah, but you have to have a file to associate them with when they get loaded from disk
07:02:57Paul_The_NerdThat also means that playlists have a predictable size that increases linearly. That might be an advantage in some strange world.
07:03:01midkaydo we know for a fact that these are loaded to memory? :)

07:10:31BHSPitMonkeyhi
07:10:38Jungti1234Is normal sound of Rockbox different from normal sound of iriver firmware?
07:11:09BHSPitMonkeyit would take a picky ear to notice, I would think
07:11:46Jungti1234um
07:11:47midkaywhy don't you try and see?
07:11:53midkayit probably is.
07:11:54Jungti1234what
07:11:59Jungti1234what try?
07:12:00Paul_The_NerdI believe tests have shown that, at least on the iRiver, our Mp3 decoder is not significantly different than the one iRiver used.
07:12:04midkaytry listening to both.
07:12:09Jungti1234haha..
07:12:10Jungti1234hey
07:12:23Jungti1234[11:04:49] <Jungti1234> Volume of original firmware(iriver) what Rockbox's volume with what same?
07:12:29midkayhaha.
07:12:33*midkay gives up and gets back to mapping.
07:12:54Jungti1234Because their sound is different, I can't know correctly it.
07:13:18Paul_The_NerdThen guess.

07:15:05Jungti1234Normal sound setting, different?
07:15:23Paul_The_NerdI have no idea what you're asking.
07:16:14Jungti1234Don't you know answer? or don't understand?
07:16:33Paul_The_NerdI don't understand.
07:16:45Paul_The_NerdWhat you asked was not a question.
07:17:00Jungti1234hmm...
07:17:30midkayhaha.
07:17:35Jungti1234How does iriver mark volume?
07:17:49Jungti1234and how does rockbox mark voulme?
07:18:20midkayby numbers, and by decibels.
07:18:36Paul_The_NerdRockbox tells you how much the hardware is actually adjusting the volume of the output.
07:18:47Paul_The_NerdiRiver makes up numbers and says "This is the volume"
07:18:52Paul_The_NerdThey are imaginary.
07:19:28Jungti1234ah.. iriver is inexact?
07:19:53Paul_The_NerdiRiver doesn't mean anything.
07:20:04midkayit's exact according to its scale, its scale is simply random.
07:20:25Paul_The_NerdThey picked a certain level to be 1, said the loudest is 40, an divided the space up between the two.
07:20:43midkayis there a 0? :)
07:20:51Paul_The_NerdI think 0 is mute.
07:20:53Jungti1234hehe
07:21:01Paul_The_Nerd1 is far too loud for me at night though.
07:21:04Jungti1234I doubt iriver's technique....
07:21:07midkayhaha.
07:21:11midkaywhat technique?

07:21:16Jungti1234all
07:21:21Jungti1234hahahaha
07:21:22Jungti1234yes, yes
07:21:23Paul_The_NerdHeck, on an airplane, sitting right behind the engines, I find myself listening at only -35
07:21:45midkay.. like that's a common occurrance? :)

07:22:08midkay:(
07:22:27Jungti1234hehe
07:22:34Paul_The_NerdActually, if it's quiet enough, I end up continually turning it down, and bit by bit.
07:22:41Paul_The_NerdThen suddenly, I lower it ONE more, and it's off.
07:22:54Paul_The_NerdWell, on the iPod Nano. On the iRiver, the hiss is too loud.
07:22:55midkayhaha.
07:23:18Paul_The_NerdPlus the iRiver has a lower minimum.
07:23:36Jungti1234white noise..

07:46:39midkayperfectly?
07:46:41Jungti1234I must have reason?

07:47:09Jungti1234no
07:47:10Paul_The_Nerdmidkay: Well, there are one or two screens where it cannot be used. It works perfectly in the sense that everywhere it works, it works fine.
07:47:19Jungti1234I don;t ask much.
07:47:48midkayPaul_The_Nerd: so it could work at one screen "perfectly".. :)
07:47:53midkayJungti1234: um, whatever..
07:47:54Jungti1234And I don't talk much because I don't know well English.
07:48:14Paul_The_Nerdmidkay: I think it's down to one or two custom screens that it doesn't work. And plugins in which the author couldn't be bothered.

10:33:16amiconnWhat about the of?

10:33:32Slasherithat works only without of

10:34:11Slasherithen it would be same as crash -> still invalid flag :)
10:34:46amiconnHmm. What happens if the dircache info doesn't match the disk contents, but rockbox doesn't detect that situation?
10:35:10*amiconn is really paranoid when it comes to data safety precautions
10:35:25Slasherihmm, basically read-only opened files might be corrupt, but that doesn't affect write operations (because dircache is not used then)
10:35:36Slasheriand of course dir contents might be incorrect also

10:36:09amiconnThat's one (major) reason why I don't use dircache. I don't trust it...
10:37:10Slasheribut i think it should be as safe as cache updated on every boot (because only real situation for incorrect cache state would caused by manually disconnecting the drive or some other damage to the drive)
10:37:20amiconnTagcache is a totally different thing. If it doesn't work correctly, it doesn't corrupt data on the disk
10:37:34Slasheriyes, true

10:56:09amiconnSlasheri: Does dircache ensure that no info going _to_ the disk can be corrupted by wrong (cached) info coming _from_ the disk?
10:56:57amiconnWhat I mean is e.g. saving a file to a directory first scans the dir whether the filename already exists, in order to decide whether this is an overwrite or a new file
10:58:17amiconnSame goes for the shortname in case it's a new file, the code needs to make sure the shortname is unique
10:58:21Slasheriamiconn: dircache cannot corrupt the file in that situation, because files opened with O_RDWR or O_WRONLY does not go through the dircache at all
10:58:30linuxstbMikachu: (reading your comments in the logs) I've only got the 4g (greyscale and the Color/Photo) recording via the headphone socket (in mono). Both the 4gs and the 5g are recording in stereo via the line-in in the dock connector.
10:58:48Slasheriamiconn: only when opening files for O_RDONLY (or checking whether a file exists), dircache is used to speed up to locate the startcluster
10:59:27Slasheriand with an incorrect startcluster readed data can be wrong
11:00
11:00:19amiconnYeah. My point is: When opening a new file for writing, the code needs to scan the dir whether the filename already exists
11:00:30amiconnAnd if that scan goes through dircache...
11:01:24midkayif it'll need to spin up anyways, you may as well check the disk itself..
11:01:32Slasheritrue, so that can confuse the software.. it can overwrite an existing file even if rockbox thinks that while doesn't exist
11:02:27Slasheriamiconn: but it should be extremely rare for that to happen.. either when the previously mentioned conditions are met or there is a bug in dircache

11:04:11Slasherihmm, that is not possible

11:13:58linuxstbDoes the bootloader I installed last night set the "intact disk" flag, or will I need to upgrade?
11:14:17Slasherilinuxstb: you will need to upgrade :)
11:14:33Slasherii still need some testing and code clean-up with the eeprom driver
11:16:54amiconnSlasheri: I think the binary config data that will stay binary after the switch to .cfg files for most options should go to the eeprom too
11:17:13amiconnOn archos we'll (continue to) use the RTC RAM for this
11:17:22linuxstbI'm assuming the OF uses the eeprom?
11:17:23amiconnArchos recorders, that is
11:17:33amiconnlinuxstb: Yes it does
11:17:47Slasheriamiconn: hmm, that sounds good.
11:18:11Slasheribut true, there needs to be possibility to save the data on disk too because eeprom is not available if OF is still installed

11:18:28Slasherifortunately rockbox can detect if rockbox has been flashed
11:18:41amiconnWe should check how much of the eeprom the of uses. Maybe it's doesn't use all of the eeprom
11:18:54amiconns/it's/it/
11:19:17Slasheriamiconn: hmm, at least all eeprom bytes was quite random binary data last time i checked..
11:20:07amiconnAdding the size of all binary cfg data I remember right now, we'd need 12 bytes

11:24:45*amiconn suggest a better term for this data. It's not cfg data, but status information

11:29:10Slasheriin fact that isn't needed then at all..
11:29:27Slasheribecause if rockbox is flashed, we can load the image from disk
11:29:41amiconndircache size (or the validity flag) is also status info

11:37:24amiconnYes it would mean flashing every time

11:37:39Slasheribut doing the upgrade flashing is very simple and fast
11:37:45JdGordondont we need the of to do the flash?
11:37:48amiconnThe bootloader will stay the same
11:37:51linuxstbYou can still load a rockbox.iriver from disk by holding REC when booting.
11:37:57amiconnJdGordon: Nope.
11:38:01Slasherijust select rockbox.iriver -> open with -> iriver_flash and flash has been updated
11:38:16JdGordonoh ok, well if its possible now ill give it a try, my h300 is us and the usbotg mod didnt work
11:38:32amiconnSlasheri: You use the same image as when running from ram? why?
11:39:10Slasheriamiconn: currently there is some problems with audio playback when running directly from flash
11:39:22Slasherii am not sure what causes it but rockbox will crash in 30 minutes
11:39:26amiconnDid you try to use the 'catch mem accesses' feature?
11:39:36Slasherihmm, probably not
11:39:45Slasheribut i can try that soo
11:39:48Slasheri*soon
11:39:51amiconnMost often this is something trying to write to a data location which is declared 'const'
11:40:12*amiconn remembers debugging rom execution on archos
11:40:35amiconnSome things just failed "mysteriously"
11:41:25amiconnSlasheri: ROM execution requires a different link address. What's your approach for this?
11:44:23Slasheriamiconn: i have enabled the rom creation from Makefile and modified the rom.lds a bit
11:44:40amiconnok.
11:44:55amiconnWhat filename (extension) do you use for these files?
11:45:11*amiconn would prefer a unique cross-platform approach
11:45:27amiconnWhat about using .ucl? Did you look into this?
11:45:38Slasherii haven't yet planned that so far.. currently and first i was only planning to support the .iriver type of ram images only
11:45:50Slasheriand maybe in future the rom images too
11:45:54Slasheriucl sounds good
11:46:22amiconnIt could even support ucl compression (although it's not strictly necessary given the ROM size)
11:48:56JdGordonSlasheri: would it be possible to flash it back to the of or the current rb loader?
11:49:28amiconnThe flash plugins on archos do quite a lot of sanity checks to prevent accidental (and deliberate, to some degree) mis-flashing
11:51:36amiconnThese measures (reportedly) saved some user's boxes from bricking
11:51:43linuxstbDo the Archos plugins create a backup of the current flash contents?
11:52:27SlasheriJdGordon: it is possible to flash back (at least if you have taken the dump of the rom contents before), but currently that feature is not yet supported
11:52:39amiconnNot by themselves, but the flashing instructions recommend doing so before (by using the ROM dump feature in the debug menu)
11:53:34amiconnrockbox_flash in fact doesn't need to backup anything. Only the first time flash (firmware_flash) should be preceded by a ROM dump
11:53:52Slasheriand erasing/programming the whole flash at once always increases the risk to brick the unit
11:54:14linuxstbamiconn: How big are the voice files for the h1x0?
11:54:29amiconnlinuxstb: Same size as for archos (still)
11:54:34linuxstbSo about 1.5MB?
11:54:47amiconnYou _can_ use somewhat larger ones (I believe)
11:54:53linuxstbI was just wondering if there would be any advantage to storing them in flash.
11:55:05amiconnYes, although it should be more like 1.4MB for archos today :/
11:55:08linuxstbWe have about 1.6MB of unused space I think.

12:15:04JdGordonah, hmm.. that makes sense :p
12:15:36amiconnindeed
12:16:21amiconnThe disadvantage is that the sysfont is only iso8859-1, so it isn't possible to translate strings which are displayed using the sysfont into greek, or hebrew, or korean etc

12:17:32JdGordonfter = after
12:18:06amiconnBeing part of the binary, it's not possible to make the sysfont full unicode. But if we come up with a hybrid solution, we could even reduce the built-in part to pure ascii
12:18:17amiconn...as the internal error msgs are always englsih
12:19:05amiconnYou mean just "overloading" the built-in font with an on-disk version?
12:19:09JdGordonye
12:19:37amiconnHmm, that sounds like a relatively simple soluton. Requires a bit more font cache that reusing the built-in glyphs directly thoguh

12:20:32JdGordondo we even really need two fonts?
12:20:36amiconnThe sysfont needs to be fixed width, and of a certain size (currently 8x6 on all targets). Otherwise a lot of layouts will break
12:21:34amiconnHmm, in fact you're right. We should try and make all screens in rockbox work with the user font
12:21:58amiconn...and then use the sysfont _only_ for "emergency" messages
12:22:14JdGordonno! bad idea!
12:22:21*JdGordon slaps self for putting that idea forward
12:22:29amiconnThis way we don't need a hybrid solution at all, and can still shorten the sysfont to ascii
12:22:41JdGordontoo much work making every screen scale to every font size
12:22:58amiconnI don't think it needs to be any size

12:26:27amiconnThe recording screen code looks like one big hack...
12:27:34amiconnNow I'd rather say we should drop the full unicode sysfont idea, and work on making things work with the user font instead

13:15:30amiconnAlso, comparing the .ucl size for recorder is futile. rockbox.ucl is compressed, so it doesn't tell anything about the real code size change
13:15:53amiconnEither compare rombox.ucl, or better directly compare rockbox.bin
13:21:08JdGordonamiconn: i compared the ucl because i thought the ucl was the equiv of .iriver..

16:16:20JdGordonye, its just as u turn it on
16:16:36JdGordoni never worried about it, but seen as febs brought it up i thought i may as well mention it

16:20:27leftrightver 6 is the latest bootloader right ?
16:21:21Jungti1234what's function is'Load to RAM' in tag cache option?
16:21:34JdGordonv6 for h1xx v5 for h3xx
16:21:36Jungti1234what function?
16:21:43JdGordonJungti1234: its the same as dircache
16:21:46leftrightstill a pop/crack on startup and shutdown, but as I said the original firmware does that too
16:21:48JdGordonit speeds up the id3 browser
16:21:58Jungti1234um.. what is id3 browser?
16:22:04Jungti1234see id3 database?
16:22:12rasherSlasheri: if the bootloader can pass stuff to Rockbox, would it be possible to pass presses on "play" (for resume)
16:22:21rasherSlasheri: so you can press "play, play" and not have to wait
16:23:07Jungti1234id3 browser is 'Show Files -> ID3 Database'?

16:26:25Jungti1234Of course, I unuse it.
16:27:24Jungti1234but.... just curious
16:27:30Jungti1234please answer..
16:28:17JdGordonits a debugging tool, to tell you if you are accessing invalid memory, or something like that
16:28:23leftrightJungti1234: if you are not a programmer don't go to debug section, most of the stuff there is to assist developers
16:28:24rasherIt's something to do with catching memory accesses made to "wrong" parts of the memory or something. It helps debugging.. stuff

20:00
20:05:04dionoea0x00->0x79 == no sound, 0x80 == full volume up to 0xff == low volume
20:05:19dionoeai don't understand why that has to specified twice though
20:06:46Mikachuwhat happens if you use different values?

20:19:51dionoea0x00??0000 influences the volume (and frequency?)
20:19:59dionoea0x0000???? is frequency stuff
20:20:17dionoeai don't know what the other stuff in the first byte might be used for

20:33:19Mikachuand when you set it to 00 or ff it's completely flat maybe, so that would explain the silence
20:33:35Mikachuit sounds different?
20:34:34Mikachuless overtones in triangular

20:35:21dionoeaok
20:35:34dionoeaso that leaves us with 7 useless bits in the first byte
20:37:42Mikachuthe msb turns it on?
20:38:04dionoeayep
20:38:05Mikachuit's possible they're just unused
20:38:13dionoeaseems so
20:39:23Mikachuhey uh
20:39:28Mikachuthe freq loops at 0x2000
20:39:35dionoeai was just about to say so :)
20:39:46dionoeafinger pressed on right :p
20:39:53Mikachuso i guess only &1fff affects the freq then

20:40:48bluebrothernice poll.
20:41:18dionoeaso ffe000 would afect the wave form ?
20:41:50Mikachui guess it might
20:41:56Mikachutakes a while to try with your current interface
20:42:21dionoeait sounds like it does
20:42:25dionoeai'll upload new sources
20:42:34dionoeaMikachu: new sources uploaded
20:42:38Mikachuokay
20:45:19dionoeai'll have to try this thing on my neightboor's dog :D
20:45:22Mikachuhaha
20:46:03Mikachui think you limited the ?: field a bit weirdly now
20:46:07Mikachuit lets me set too large values
20:46:48dionoeayeah, the ? field is all messed up :)
20:46:55dionoeabut it's useless anyway
20:47:28Mikachuit's hard to tell if the extra precision field actually affects the waveform by ear
20:47:41dionoeait does
20:47:51dionoeaat least the sound changes continuously

20:48:37dionoeawell maybe not
20:48:40Mikachuwell yeah, but it would if it had no effect too since the first two bytes change
20:49:00dionoeadoes anyone here have an ipod and a good microphone ?
20:52:55dionoeai can't hear frequencies 1->5
20:53:04Mikachui think it sort of overflows itself
20:53:45Mikachui can hear 5 but not 1-4
20:54:38dionoeahum, yay! i can hear 5 if i put my ear on the ipod's back
20:55:34dionoeawe must have pretty much figured it out i guess
20:57:07dionoeanow let's do a piano plugin :D
20:57:43dionoeaI'll add a comment to the piezo patch in FS
20:59:33Mikachui have some pics in qoscc but i can't make much sense of it
20:59:42dionoeacan i have a look ?
21:00
21:01:12Mikachuthe waveform changes radically depending on what part of the nano i hold over the mic
21:01:35dionoeaon top of the hearphone socket sems to be the best place
21:01:54Mikachui'm guessing you don't have a nano?
21:02:05dionoeano ... i have a video
21:02:16Mikachuthe earphone socket is nowhere near the piezo on a nano :)
21:02:28dionoeahehe
21:04:43Mikachuusing the sound card as an oscilloscope is not 100% satisfactory :)
21:04:49dionoea:)
21:04:58Mikachui can't notice anything for the extra 7bits anyway
21:06:08***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
21:07:19Mikachudidn't look a bit triangular or sawtooth though :)
21:07:27dionoea:(
21:07:41Mikachubut i get like 3 data points per oscillation so it's hard to tell
21:07:59dionoeawhat if you lower the frequency ?

21:12:21Mikachuat 1fff, the frequency is low enough to clearly see every 'click' on the screen
21:12:39Mikachuso the tones are formed like closing a zipper quickly, nothing pure about it :)
21:14:20dionoea:)
21:15:18MikachuOH
21:15:26Mikachuthere appears to be two clicks
21:15:33Mikachuthe vol2 sets the time difference between them
21:15:42Mikachuat 80, they are more or less at the same time

21:18:26 Quit YouCeyE (Remote closed the connection)
21:18:30Mikachuat 80, the extra click is right between two normal clicks
21:21:07Mikachudionoea: here it is set to 80 http://mikachu.ath.cx/piezo80.png
21:21:18Mikachuthat is 80 in the final command
21:22:07Mikachuand the frequency very low of course
21:22:53dionoeawhat if you change the waveform thing ?
21:22:59dionoeahow does it change the graph ?
21:23:10Mikachuthat's what i just explained
21:23:25Mikachuevery second click moves relative to the other set
21:23:34Mikachuat 00 they overlap exactly and seem to cancel out
21:23:47dionoeaoh, ok :)
21:24:28Mikachui think i would need an actual oscilloscope and better mic to say anything more

21:25:24dionoeayep. I guess that some people here have some
21:25:31dionoealets hope that they read this :)
21:26:01dionoeanow i can try sending random commands to some other device on the ipod (and hope that it doesn't break)
21:26:06Mikachuwhen i looked at higher frequencies, it also just looked like every second top was moving
21:26:30Mikachui'm not exactly sure why you would want to do such a thing
21:26:50dionoeame neither :)
