joschgordon1: OpenSCAD :)08:09
joschgordon1: thank you for your PCB design! I turned the relevant mechanical part into a small 3D model so that I can test the position and size of your current version without manufacturing an expensive PCB first08:11
joschi put a rendering and openscad model here as this is only temporary anyways: https://source.mnt.re/gordon/reform/-/issues/108:11

gordon1josch: i asked just because i wanted to put dimensions of the screw holes somewhere but decided to put it right in kicad's pcb, so i guess that is the best cad-agnostic approach10:33
gordon1uh, would be cool to make keycap models to put in kicad's 3d render10:37
gordon1never tried to do it from openscad, i guess .step should work10:37
joschgordon1: i think keeping things in kicad is fine11:34
joschi can also render the keycaps into something like step or stl once i'm satisfied11:34
gordon1there is a keycap/switch model in the kicad project, i just wanted do add a cut for trackpoint stick11:41
gordon1i just wonder how would be easier to do that11:41
joschgordon1: but having the keycaps with the cut in kicad is just a nice-to-have, no?11:51
gordon1yes, pretty much11:51
gordon1not required for manufacture11:51
joschgordon1: do you still want to add a usb-hub and some jst connectors to the board?11:52
gordon1nah, i'm still thinking on how to do that, i'll probably opt out for a separate board11:52
joschindeed. I also recently saw https://social.sdfeu.org/@realleif/115815246064620291 but unfortunately the usb D+/D- pins are not connected on the classic motherboard11:53
joschit would require something like a pci root hub as i understand...11:53
gordon1yeah, just saw that11:54
joschanother thing i thought of was a small board that could be plugged into the ribbon connector from rcore to the wifi extension board11:54
gordon1not for classic11:54
joschthat board would just forward the pci-e signal but would split off the usb lines into a hub, feed one of the hub's output back into the ribbon cabe for the wifi extension board and offer the other additional ports as jst connectors11:55
gordon1i think i can make a board with jst connector mounted vertically, i know the trick, just need to test it first if it can be removed or not11:55
joschyou mean a board which plugs into the existing jst connectors on the motherboard directly and split off from there?11:58
gordon1yep, there are two near each other where trackball and keyboard plug in, i can just make a board with two vertical jst connectors that plug in there and fixed with a screw like antenna mezzanine on the other side12:02
gordon1actually there is a second option, there is a trackball flat flex in the keyboard, isn't it? keyboard fw just need to be modified to support it and then trackball can be unplugged completely12:03
gordon1tempting12:05
gordon1anyone knows if those flat-flex connectors are double-sided or single-sided?12:06
joschthe advantage of creating a plug-in mezzanine board for the mouse/kb connector on the motherboard would be that such a hub would also benefit those who are not using keyboard v412:13
gordon1good point12:14
joschmy feeling is also that no screw would be strictly necessary to keep this plugged in -- i'd assume that the jst connector is already strong enough to hold a tiny pcb12:14
joschgordon1: if you size it right or if you add a way to add an additional plastic spacer, then the board in the two jst connectors on the motherboard could be held in place simply because it sits flush with the bottom acrylic and as long as the acrylic is closed it cannot slip/rattle out of the connector12:35
gordon1i think it can rest on the usb connectors, but i need to measure it12:36

joschokay, so i may need to change my sensor board or need a different idea of how to attach the stem. My sensor looks like this: 14:08
joschhttps://floss.social/@josch/11534492942134613314:08
joschthat small metal pin is 2.95 mm in diameter14:09
joschthe hole in the keyboard cannot be much larger than a diameter of 4 mm (which is its current size)14:09
joschthis means that if i want to slip something over the meta pin, then the wall thickness of that thing must be less than 0.5 mm. That's way too thin for plastic.14:10
gordon1sounds like machining is necessary14:14
gordon1no lathe in your local hackspace?14:14
gordon1sounds like very easy machining job14:15
joschwould take a few days until i manage to get there and i also have the scenario in mind where others want to perform the same mod -- would be sad if everybody first had to machine the stem some14:17
gordon1tbh 0.5mm printed part does not sound impossible, just need to be stress-tested14:19
joschmaybe. lets try that first then14:20
joschbut it'd have to be 0.4 mm or otherwise it really collides with the pcb14:20
gordon10.4mm will be pushing it, you want your extrusion width to be slightly wider than the nozzle (i assume you have 0.4mm nozzle)14:22
joschi'll be printing a couple of versions at the same time and see what works14:23
joschbut i also have a few other nozzles here14:23
gordon1i made the hole exactly 4mm but there are footprints for M4 clearance that is like 4.2mm or so14:23
joschbbl childcare now :)14:23
joschbut we are slowly getting somewhere, i'm excited :)14:23

f_I'm not sure if I said this already, but RK3588 reform not being able to wake up from sleep doesn't seem uncommon in the rk3588 world16:13
f_my rk3588 rock 5b+ also does not wake up from sleep. Entering sleep works just fine, but it cannot wake up afterwards16:14
f_I also just heard that s2idle works on reform but takes huge amounts of power still, I guess that could be fine as a stop-gap solution, wouldn't be the only modern laptop I see that has to use s2idle for a little bit (I know of one lenovo x86 laptop which seems to have to use s2idle too, or, well, it seems to because it drains all its battery while in suspend very quickly :))16:16
gordon1we tried s2idle at the congress with 6.18.2 kernel, it didn't work, died somewhere in pcie driver16:19
f_ah16:25
gordon1which is a recurring theme in rk3588 suspend16:25
f_anyway as for A311D I'll see if I can do some more research on that, because I'm convinced it's possible to get suspend working on that16:26
f_I think it's the exact same problem that happens on A311D - suspend works fine, wake up does not work16:26
f_and I believe that's because you use BPI-CM4 bl30+bl301 blobs untouched, wouldn't you know it, wakeup sources are typically hardcoded in bl30116:27
f_A311D is mainly in use on TV boxes, and on those, usually people would expect their box to turn on when they press the power button on their IR remote16:28
f_so vendors hardcode which button wakes up the board in the firmware typically16:28
f_there are basically a few #define's that vendors change to match their IR remote setup16:29

joschgordon1: i'm now printing a mock-up pcb, keycaps and stemps of different inner and outer diameter -- lets see what works https://mister-muffin.de/p/fzzG.png16:54
josch(will of course also be highly printer dependent but we have to start somewhere)16:54
gordon1good enough16:55
joschs/stemps/stems/16:56
gordon1josch: just a trick, sometimes it worth printing the thing with inside diameter slightly smaller than you need and then just drilling/reaming it to precise diameter16:56
gordon1might work better than just printing directly16:56
joschi did something similar with the last stem but i heated up the metal pin and then that slightly melted the plastic16:56
gordon1that also works16:56

joschokay, so...23:02
joschi have this adapter which allows me to put an m.2 card into the mini-pcie slot of classic motherboard 3.023:03
joschthat adapter comes with a sim card holder, so i have the quectel em-06e in it23:03
joschnow of course the mini-pcie slot of motherboard 3.0 is without usb signal, so i soldered two wires to D+ and D- of the mini-pcie/m.2 adapter and connected those to the usb port on the motherboard where i had my trackball before23:04
joschthis didn't work when booting and all i got was a bunch of23:04

joschdoes anybody have ideas of what i could try next?23:08
joschah it just failed because of "USB disconnect" and "device not accepting address 50, error -71" as well as "unable to get BOS descriptor or descriptor too short" and "unable to read config index 0 descriptor/all"23:10
joschi mean it might as well be the mini-pcie/m.2 adapter that is borked -- i have no other device to test it23:15
