| switchy | what is the expected range of battery voltages? | 07:32 |
| josch | switchy: "The Reform will accept DC power between 9 and 32 volts into its barrel" -- source: https://mntre.com/reform2/handbook/advanced.html#electronics-repair | 07:49 |
| josch | oh wait, battery voltage | 07:49 |
| josch | switchy: only lifepo4 chemistry is allowed | 07:49 |
| chartreuse | You could possibly mod it for other chemistries by changing some current and voltage setting resistors and modifying the LPC to account for it, but that's not a simple matter | 08:01 |
| chartreuse | And if you have the protected battery boards those are also set for lifepo4 | 08:02 |
| josch | chartreuse: the big reform motherboard absolutely needs more variable resistors you can adjust with a tiny screwdriver, don't you think? ;) | 08:02 |
| chartreuse | lifepo4 will have a voltage of 3.65 at 100% and around 2.5v at 0% | 08:03 |
| chartreuse | Heh, as long as they have a safe max limit so bumping stuff doesn't mess things up | 08:03 |
| chartreuse | Could add a variable resistor to the one pin on the charging chip to add a max charging current fairly easilly though | 08:03 |
| chartreuse | I guess with protective battery boards more control could be fine, though I still lack them XD | 08:04 |
| josch | [insert i like to live dangerously meme] | 08:05 |
| josch | i never had a problem with the unprotected boards (my cells all survived) but i also never had my reform in a drawer to allow for deep discharge | 08:06 |
| chartreuse | Yeah I killed the batts once when it was fully off but was left for a few months unplugged | 08:06 |
| chartreuse | Replaced the two shot ones, but really should have gotten some more as one is questionable and dies before the rest | 08:07 |
| chartreuse | Whichever cell corresponds to the bottom left in the battery display currently | 08:07 |
| chartreuse | Still lasts decently but would last a fair bit longer if I find another JGNE 1800 cell to replace that | 08:07 |
| josch | chartreuse: mapping of the cells: https://mntre.com/reform2/handbook/input.html#oled-menu | 08:12 |
| josch | chartreuse: but you do not have the protected boards, so it's the other way round | 08:14 |
| josch | chartreuse: for you, it should be like this: https://community.mnt.re/t/wrong-battery-mapping-on-the-handbook/1073/3 | 08:14 |
| josch | minute: somehow i'm not able to edit some of my posts on community.mnt.re -- for some it works fine but for others the edit button is just not there. Do you know what the problem could be? | 08:16 |
| minute | ^alex: but the cells are not near their top voltage yet? | 09:52 |
| grimmware | Just to check, it's currently "safe" to do an apt upgrade on the pocket, right? | 11:05 |
| grimmware | I love how easy it is to use this thing wedged between my knees whilst sitting on a step and waiting for a train | 11:07 |

| minute | grimmware: yeah that display gets some ghosting | 16:21 |
| grimmware | ack, as long as it's nothing I should be worrying about | 16:48 |
| minute | grimmware: no, the ghosting will go away... probably we should bring back xscreensaver :D | 16:58 |
| mhoye | grimmware: you can take libreoffice, make a slideshow that's six fullscreen slides - red, green, blue, black, white, black - and run it with 10sec/slide autoscroll/repeat for a while. | 17:17 |
| mhoye | works a treat to fix lcd ghosting in 20-30 minutes. | 17:20 |
| ^alex | minute, turns out we reflashed with trunk, not your branch, going to retry with your branch | 17:21 |
| mhoye | Anyone have any experince with menus in non-gnome apps showing up as black rectangles? I'm so far unable to get openscad or freecad working. | 17:21 |
| mhoye | though I suppose that if I stopped dumping stderr directly into null I'd learn something. | 17:22 |
| minute | mhoye: you already have QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb, yeah? | 17:27 |
| ^alex | ok so, the best luck we've had power wise is using the 20w port on a belkin adapter using a thunderbolt cable, which charges at around 1 amp for 10 seconds, drops to 0 for a moment, then goes back to 1 amp | 17:27 |
| ^alex | but now it appears to be charging instead of holding steady at the same voltage | 17:28 |
| ^alex | also: if we wanted to factory-reset to the latest system image, we could just `dd` that onto the `mmcblk` device while booted from SD, right? | 17:32 |

| ^alex | thinking about ways to get the 2 system UARTs out to a connector on the side panel >.> | 19:35 |
| ^alex | so we don't have to run it with the top cover off while debugging the system controller | 19:36 |
| dozens | seeing people on mastodon getting their pockets and feeling anxious for mine | 19:40 |
| minute | we're currently finishing the last batch of crowdfunded hypers, should go out next week. then we'll make the last 68 crowdfunded non-hypers. | 19:43 |
| minute | then we'll proceed with the ones that are presold by crowd supply after the crowdfunding ended | 19:43 |
| dozens | \o/ | 19:48 |
| chartreuse | ^alex: Can just make a hole and have them come out to the side as female pin headers perhaps using standard ftdi ordering. Or I think I've seen someone that put a FTDI or similar ttl serial to usb port on the side for hooking up the console easilly | 20:57 |
| ^alex | yeah, the pin-header thing on the headphone/standby side is probably what we're gonna do :) | 20:58 |
| chartreuse | A 2x6 female header would let you just plug in a standard ftdi type module for either port and not be too bulky, though could also just have like a 2x3 minimal one for the two ports | 21:00 |
| chartreuse | Better than leaving the bottom cover open or running the cables below the keyboard | 21:00 |
| ^alex | mostly our issue is gonna be with mounting it cleanly | 21:01 |
| chartreuse | Maybe some kind of panel mount mini-din connector could fit | 21:03 |
| ^alex | until then we can run it with the cover off and our Bus Pirate clipped to the uart :) | 21:03 |
| chartreuse | Could also remove one of the side covers and run some dupont leads out the side as a temp too | 21:04 |
| ^alex | oooh we could panel-mount a pair of TRS jacks | 21:05 |
| chartreuse | If you have a trackball reform you could also worm in out one of the sides near the keycaps too, though that's more in the way than removing a side cover | 21:05 |
| chartreuse | That'd work | 21:05 |
| ^alex | we've got the Pocket | 21:05 |
| chartreuse | Ah | 21:05 |
| chartreuse | I was just thinking of the fullsized since it has much more space to route stuff out | 21:05 |
| ^alex | nah we gotta be difficult ;) | 21:06 |
| - vagrantc (QUIT: Quit: leaving) (~vagrant@2600:3c01:e000:21:7:77:0:50) | 21:08 | |
| chartreuse | Would look a little weird but could make a custom PCB for the lid cover and add some surface mount jacks of some kind to that and route the uarts up to the screen | 21:10 |
| chartreuse | Though that'd be more if you're constantly hacking on it | 21:10 |
| ^alex | the side-port TRS is probably gonna be our best bet | 21:23 |
| ^alex | though that might affect the radiation pattern of the antenna? :) | 21:25 |
| mhoye | so | 21:25 |
| mhoye | I've got a usb to serial adapter sitting just under my sdcard reader | 21:26 |
| mhoye | sparkfun thing, works grea | 21:26 |
| mhoye | great | 21:27 |
| ^alex | yeah, we've got USB UARTs coming out our ears | 21:28 |
| mhoye | ... and milling out side panels to add antennas is pretty easy, I've done that too. | 21:33 |
| ^alex | yeah we're just being weird about how new metal near the existing antenna will affect things | 21:36 |
| mhoye | I'm curious | 21:37 |
| mhoye | I mean. I'd love a way to add a bus pirate to the inside of this thing but there's not room. | 21:37 |
| ^alex | yeah the bus pirate was gonna be our interim solution until we got the TRS jacks wired in | 21:39 |
| chartreuse | Maybe if you stripped the headers off | 21:39 |
| chartreuse | That's most of the height of a bus pirate | 21:39 |
| chartreuse | There's probably room somewhere | 21:40 |
