joschrwa_: let us know how it goes -- i also have a rcore-dsi rk3588 reform with me but my a311d is still the main device and the other is to tinker09:33
rwa_i've already mainly used it in the last days, everything i need day to day is available in Debian stable09:41
rwa_biggest step was the switch from Arch to Debian, but alas the Reform does not need a rolling distro09:42
rwa_not sure how i keep my AUR PKGBUILDs updated... :D09:42

gordon1i think that is a steady state of kernel compilation, at least after 20 mins or so https://0x0.st/KzQY.txt (first two cooling devices are pcie aspm? they are always active, last four - cpu thermal throttling that are all 0s)11:08

gordon1tbh now i am worried that thermal throttling does not work at all, how to test it?11:54
gordon1ah, nvm, all thermal trips are at 85°C, not 80°C that i thought for some reason11:58
gordon1rwa_: if i had to guess that is either related to a laptop stand or (which is unlikely) to the small thermal interface i added between heatsink and the metal case on the back12:00
rwa_i drilled some holes in the bottom plate and added a bit of thermal grease between the heatsink and the backplate12:08

rwa_i left the device when the batteries where at 2.7V - a few minutes later it only shows this: https://ibb.co/gMQ7gz0D13:41
rwa_device is now unresponsive, OLED still shows this state13:42
andreas-eBut you do have the new battery boards? I sometimes got deep discharges with the old ones, and that probably kills the batteries. But probably I am missing context from yesterday :)13:46
rwa_the device is only a week old, so yes it should have the protected battery boards13:47
rwa_will try a systemcontroller reset then13:52
rwa_LPCRST has no effect, OLED still showing the values, circle menu unresponsive13:59
rwa_removing all battery cells did the trick, it's now charging14:05

minuterwa_: ah, i see you did something already. it is not necessary to do anything though. if it happens again, just wait. those measurements are not real (BB is in protection mode), but it's hard to determine and show that16:14
joschminute: are the step files the preferred form of modification for the pocket reform case? Or am i failing to find the original source of the step files in the pocket-reform repo?16:18
rwa_minute: ah ok, thanks :)16:18
minutejosch: step is best, otherwise there's only fusion which is windows/mac only16:18
joschokay!16:19
joschminute: does this mean that if i want to contribute an improvement i create a merge request for those step files?16:20
minutejosch: that's a possibility, but it won't get merged as any improvements would go through ana and her fusion design. a step will help, but most important would be some drawings and a rationale16:23

gordon1so, i took the SiN ball, heated it up cherry red, and sprayed it with 81% phsosphoric acid from a small pulverizer, it did create optical pattern on the surface of the ball, but unfortunately it did not improve trackball tracking20:32

minutealso: we just launched rcore on crowd supply: https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt-research/mnt-reform-rcore-v2-with-rk358821:48
josch$1 goal? :D21:49
joschin the table, a311d is listed as 4 gb which i guess is technically correct but only 3.6 GiB can be used by linux21:51
joschminute: in the table it says "yes" for imx8mq compatibility with pocket reform21:53
minutejosch: yes, $1 means we will do it even if there's only 1 sale ;)21:57
minutejosch: imx8mq technically can work in pocket :D21:58
minutenot sure if i ever published the dts for that though21:59
joschheh :)21:59
joschokay, good to know!21:59
chreminds me i have a pending order21:59

joschyeeeh same hear :)22:00
josch*here22:00
minutethe team is currently working on a batch with all orders till beginning of july i think22:01
minuteif i'm not mistaken we've caught up with may (except for a few a311ds and one order with rkx7)22:01
minutejosch: ch: which order dates?22:02
joschi think i ordered right when it was announced, so August 822:03
minuteahh the upgrade board (carrier)22:03

chhad a , in there22:10
minutehuh.22:10
minuteahh and in the backend this is glued to the email i guess22:11
minuteso there's a name in libredesk22:11
minutebtw semi related, this was a fun one https://github.com/abhinavxd/libredesk/issues/122#issuecomment-320151964322:12
minute(in case you're wondering what i'm doing when not fixing bugs in the actual products)22:14
choh my22:15
chi'm on 'fun' tasks like moving my paperless-ngx install. at least i dont have to debug it too22:18
minutehaha well well22:20
minutei guess that's on me for using alpha software22:20
gordon1minute: it doesn't really look particularly different, some areas of the ball is very slightly lighter hue, i thought that would be enough but apparently i need to do something more radical (probably just leave the acid for longer)22:26
gordon1minute: https://tinystash.undef.im/il/2cuyE8NY6FhkyWDdiFYspR89DpnsyfGjiQiN6C9nBKCym1e3dpuW8temdL7yhHq1eTC24VS8QuonTNfadHgJtheM.JPG22:29
gordon1is there any place where i could get those black delrin balls btw?22:30
gordon1neither ebay nor aliexpress didn't yield any results22:35
joschgordon1: as m.inute agreed that your patch is correct, how would you like to be attributed in the Author field of the git commit?22:41
gordon1josch: sure22:42
gordon1i mean whatever is more convenient to you, i wont' hold a grudge if i wont be22:42
joschgordon1: right now the git commit has:22:43
joschAuthor: Gordon Q <@gordon>22:43
gordon1good enough?22:43
joschbut we can fix this with any name and email that you wish to see there22:43
joschif you tell me it's good enough then we leave it like that22:43
gordon1good enough then22:44
joschbut it would be helpful if it were the same as any potential future commits of yours are22:44
joschi.e. whatever you have configured as email and author in your ~/.gitconfig22:44
gordon1they will, i'll use credentials i registered on source.mnt.re22:44
joschbut you probably registered there with a "real" email address, no?22:45
gordon1i did22:45
joschthen why not put that? :)22:45
gordon1ok, sure, put it there: gordon@niflheim.info22:45
gordon1i'll use that if i'll do any MRs on the gitlab then22:46
joschokay!22:46
gordon1found 25.4mm black delrin balls for sale, will they work?22:49
minutegordon1: which country are you in? regarding the pom balls22:49
gordon1UK22:49
minute25.4 is probably too thick22:49
minutegordon1: we can just mail you a ball or two22:50
gordon1i mean it would be awesome, i can keep chat updated on my experiments then22:50
minutewe got ours from a ball factory on alibaba22:50
minutegordon1: but yeah, experiments always welcome22:50
gordon1yeah, i found them on alibaba but they want minimum order of 10022:51
gordon1i don't think i need that much22:51
minutegordon1: yeah. you could open a UK reform ball store ;)22:51
gordon1i would love to, unfortunately at the moment the only ones that work well are stainless steel ones22:52
minutegordon1: hmm something wrong with your sensor? the original ball should normally work well. white ones also work, just not in mega sunlight 22:52
minutewhite ones might be easier to get22:53
gordon1it is so sad, SiN ball tracks beaitifully if you add 2-3mm distance from the sensor, but there is no space22:53
joschi tried the silicone nitrite ball for both classic and pocket reform and it works way better for the pocket even though the sensor is the same22:53
gordon1oh, no, don't worry, original one works too22:53
joschmaybe it is related to other factors like distance of sensor from the surface?22:53
gordon1i meant in addition to original one22:53
minutegordon1: could you make a new holder for a bit smaller SiN ball?22:54
gordon1yeah i think that might work22:54
gordon1for 20mm or so22:54
minuteyeah or just few mm less so that it all maths out?22:54
gordon1i also tried little teflon balls instead of stainless bearings in the cup and the movement is so much smoother, however there is no reasonable way to hold them in there, they work fine with the ball in, but the moment you take the ball out they threaten to fall off to the sensor, and CA doesn't help to hold them22:56
gordon1i tried to model a rim but my printer is not capable of printing such details, maybe SLA can do the job22:57
minuteahh, intricate22:57
gordon1but yeah, i think i'll give 20mm ball a try next22:58
gordon1wow they like 0.5x the price22:59
minutespherical volumes are very counterintuitive :D23:00
jfredall this customization talk reminded me that one of these days it'd be fun to try making my own reform like jacqueline did23:00
gordon1yep23:00
jfredbut, eternal project list23:00
gordon1you just need a cnc and a 3d printer! (maybe two)23:01
jfredwe have both of those at the local hackerspace :)23:01
gordon1perfect23:02
jfred(now, am I cleared to use the CNC on my own yet? absolutely not lol)23:02
jfredSMD soldering I also don't have much experience yet, that'd be a big learning experience (but one I've been wanting to do for a while now)23:03
jfreds/experience/experience with/23:03
gordon1that is much simpler than people tend to think btw23:03
jfredoh really?23:04
gordon1you do want some magnification if you do <0603 23:05
jfredI guess with a stencil putting solder paste in all the right places is probably straightforward23:05
gordon1well, that's cheating23:06
jfredheheh23:06
gordon1i was talking about soldering it with hot air or soldering iron23:06
gordon1just get yourself some smd solder practice kit and give it a try, you'll be surprised23:06
gordon1oh, one more piece of advice, face mask is also of immense help23:07
kfxjust don't get old!  might as well use the stencil.  sooner or later you're gonna23:07
gordon1so you won't blow the pieces off23:07
jfredaha, hadn't thought of that23:07
gordon1well, that's true23:07
gordon1tbh stencils are so cheap now there is no reason to order a board without one23:08
gordon1but with jlc and their prices very soon you just can order it preasembled, they are embarrassingly cheap23:08
jfrednow *that's* cheating :P23:09
jfredlearning how to solder SMD parts by hand is useful regardless if you need to repair something (I've had to repair my reform before)23:09
gordon1that is true23:09
jfredwhat I would have given for a pair of hot tweezers at that point lol23:09
gordon1just use a bigger tip23:11
