[11:01] <zalun> not very chatty channel, isn't it?
[11:03] <buttercup> it's hard for most people to answer your question, as no one has one yet
[11:03] <buttercup> except perhaps alextisserant
[11:03] <buttercup> but he wasn't in when you asked
[11:05] * buttercup copy/pastes the questions
[11:05] <buttercup> 0634:48 < zalun> how is dual-screen working with Linux? especially Gentoo?
[11:05] <buttercup> 0635:46 < zalun> and second - do I need the MID to get Dual-Screen?

[11:58] <Mrkva> alextisserant: hi. I'd like to know about (promised about a year ago) top battery meter
[11:58] * marex (~marex@eduroam69.ms.mff.cuni.cz) has joined #touchbook
[11:59] <Mrkva> alextisserant: what's the problem with it? missing kernel driver? missing something in userspace (not likely, because it is not being reported in /sys)? hardware issue?
[12:03] <alextisserant> hi
[12:04] <alextisserant> from what I understand, it will require some hardware modifications
[12:04] <Mrkva> ah, again?
[12:05] <Mrkva> I have too much duct tape in the tablet already! :)))
[12:05] <alextisserant> erf
[12:05] <alextisserant> I don't know the details, but I'm not sure you would be able to get it work easily on existing devices
[12:06] <Mrkva> alextisserant: hmm, where can I get more info?
[12:07] <Mrkva> well, I was thinking (at a worst case) using a separate I2C ADC
[12:08] <alextisserant> gregoire may have more infos
[12:08] <alextisserant> don't remember if you already sent something on the dev list?
[12:08] <Mrkva> no
[12:10] <alextisserant> you should
[12:11] * GNUtoo|laptop (~gnutoo@host68-14-dynamic.244-95-r.retail.telecomitalia.it) has joined #touchbook
[12:11] <alextisserant> buttercup: you don't need the MID to get the dual screen
[12:11] <Mrkva> it looked dead few months ago :)
[12:11] <buttercup> alextisserant: that was zalun's question, not mine ;)
[12:12] <alextisserant> oh sorry, read too fast
[12:12] <alextisserant> zalun: answer
[12:13] <alextisserant> Mrkva: it's not that active indeed, but if you don't post, for sure it will not be more ;)
[12:16] * marex (~marex@eduroam69.ms.mff.cuni.cz) Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[12:19] <Mrkva> and by the way - where (preferably in europe) can I get those cool flat batteries? I can think about many ways to use it.. but all I can find are the cylindrical ones
[12:19] <alextisserant> mm they are custom ones, made in china
[12:19] <alextisserant> what would you use them for?
[12:20] <Mrkva> some hobby electornics :)
[12:20] <alextisserant> how many would you need?
[12:20] <Mrkva> not sure
[12:21] <Mrkva> you won't be selling as the replacement for dead ones?
[12:22] <alextisserant> yes
[12:23] <Mrkva> so, I can probably order one extra as soon as the one in the TB dies... shpping from the US is quite expensive
[12:23] <Mrkva> thanks anyway
[12:24] <Corsac> Mrkva: you should be able to get some random batteries from radiospare or stuff like that
[12:25] <Mrkva> Corsac: tried that and... failed :)
[12:28] <Maeslin> nah those flat packs are hard to get
[12:28] <Maeslin> tho in online places that deal in RC cars/planes, they might be available
[12:30] <Maeslin> you have to make sure mailing them is legal in your country, it's not the case everywhere and there might be some messy rules involved due to the little "spontaneous lithium combustion" problem
[12:33] <zalun> thx
[12:33] <zalun> alextisserant: it looks like that on the website
[12:37] <Mrkva> Maeslin: yeah, it can be fun :)
[12:40] <Maeslin> ever had to deal with one of those? :p
[12:40] <Maeslin> (lithium fires)
[12:40] <Maeslin> all kinds of nasty
[12:41] <Mrkva> also the fumes are toxic... and I don't know if it was caused by lithium or burning plastic casing, but it smelled quite disgusting :)
[12:43] <Maeslin> quite likely both

[14:32] <Mrkva> and by the way, anyne solved the issue that TB shuts down when power connector is inserted to tablet part?
[14:35] <Mrkva> I guess its a short-circuit in connector
[14:35] <Mrkva> but I don't want to re-invent the wheel
[14:58] * BKA (~baka@74-92-60-149-NewEngland.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) Quit (Quit: BKA)
[15:24] <Mrkva> ah, and by the way, it happens only when the adapter is not powered
[15:31] <Mrkva> ah, got it

[16:12] * ed__ (~Ed@cl-117.bos-01.us.sixxs.net) has joined #touchbook
[16:13] <Mrkva> issue solved. should I add solution to wiki?
[16:13] * edt (~Ed@cl-117.bos-01.us.sixxs.net) Quit (Read error: Network is unreachable)
[16:18] <Mrkva> alextisserant: for the next series, I'd suggest adding diode to the power supply or between connector and rest of the circuitry on the touchbook. the reverse current caused by charging capacitors in the PSU (when it's discnnected from wall) usually crashes the TB
[16:20] * Kero (~kero@d74199.upc-d.chello.nl) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

[16:23] <alextisserant> yep, it would help to keep track
