minutemeh, work pc (intel i9-9900) became unstable, will freeze completely every few hours. display stays on. does not react to hard reset, needs power cycle14:03
joschmay be a hardware issue with caps getting old14:07
minutevddgfx is wildly fluctuating hmm14:07
joschminute: i have new input for the mb25 charging issue14:07
minutesometimes 731mV14:07
minutethat doesn't sound normal14:07
joschwith the same cable and the same two usb-pd 20V adapters I can successfully charge my reform by changing the usb-c wall adapter14:08
joschit works with an apple usb-pd adapter which claims to be able to provide 4.7 A at 20 V14:08
minuteaha?14:09
joschso that's an adapter close to 100 W14:09
joschwith the other two i tried that claimed to be 60 W and 65 W i ran into issues14:09
joschit would still be nice to be able to configure the charging speed so that charging also works with my 60 W usb-pd adapters14:11
joschi'll purchase a 100 W usb-pd adapter but use your slow-charging patch until then14:11
joschjust tried a second cable as well with the same results14:16
joschso switching out the power supply for a beefier one helped while the other components (20V usb-pd adapters and cabling) stayed the same14:17
joschminute: did other buyers of mb25 report similar observations?14:18

AbortRetryFailI haven't had a chance to test the slow-charge patch yet. :(16:33
AbortRetryFailDoes anyone know if there's battery longevity consequences to charging LiFePO4 in pulses?16:34
minuteidk... i'm not 100% comfortable with that patch yet also16:35
minutefor me the "delayed start" patch just works TM16:36
minutewithout any pulsing16:36
AbortRetryFailYeah, I have a feeling some kind of delayed/soft start would fix it 16:36
AbortRetryFailACTION still needs to try the capacitor on RNG/SS16:36
AbortRetryFailI just haven't had the Reform apart since I've been using it a lot16:37
minuteAbortRetryFail: yup, so i implemented that now in a patch and it made the hiccups go away for me on the stock power supply16:37
minuteAbortRetryFail: great to hear you're using it a lot :316:37
AbortRetryFailWhich hiccup?16:37
minuteAbortRetryFail: the issue that the power supply would stop supplying power probably because of overcurrent (but this is not 100% scientifically validated)16:38
AbortRetryFailThis totally replaced my old HP 16:38
minuteAbortRetryFail: what were the rough specs of old hp?16:38
AbortRetryFailHuh mine has not done that yet. 16:38
minuteAbortRetryFail: ah. you had a different charging issue?16:38
AbortRetryFailIts an EliteBook 745 II, AMD Kaveri of some sort I think16:38
AbortRetryFailI had the grounding/noise issues with teh Mean Well adapter and overcurrent shutoff with USB trigger cables.16:39
minuteAbortRetryFail: here's the (sketch quality) charge delayed start patch http://dump.mntmn.com/mb25_lpc_charge_delay.patch16:39
minuteAbortRetryFail: ah ok.16:39
minuteAbortRetryFail: you're on LS1028A IIRC? or a311d?16:39
AbortRetryFailNormally I charge my Reform off an Astron smps for radios 16:39
AbortRetryFailimx8mq 16:40
minuteoh ok wow16:40
AbortRetryFailTbh teh fact that the Reform has batteries that work and don't self-discharge to death in 3 days makes it 1000% more useful than the HP :)16:40
minutehaha nice16:42
minutejosch: i haven't heard of these mb25 issues other than from you i think, and from myself with the stock power supply (but only at home, maybe that one is a bit weak)16:43
minutethe easiest solution would be to spec the psu current to 100W... :D16:43
minute(or sth between 60 and 100, don't know yet what supplies exist)16:44
sknebeltoo bad about the RNG/SS issues (did your testing back then include if thats generally a problem or only when using it to shut down the charging entirely as the original design did? I had a search but didnt find anything officially documented about these issues)16:44
sknebel(like could you still use it for a "weak charger" mode even if the original use case didnt work?)16:45
AbortRetryFailin my experience it hasn't been the Reform shutting down charging, but the charger turning itself off.16:49

sknebelright, I was just curious if that was "its totally unreliable" or "it didnt work for what we wanted to do", but I take it it's the former 17:09
AbortRetryFaili'm curious of the same thing. The Reform is not the only device I have that uses that chip.17:09
minutesknebel: it messes with the voltage regulation 17:09
minuteon a % of the ICs/boards17:10
minutethis was a huge headache during first batch testing until i found the workaround with the diagonal resistor bodge... 17:10
minuteso i soldered that into 100s of motherboards17:10
sknebelright. yeah, if using it at all breaks the overall voltage regulation thats of course no good17:12
