mikki-kunhm, what is the proper dbus command to turn off vibrations on the n900 and reactivate them to the normal settings?00:20
mikki-kunpupnik: hm, so around 3 mA is a usual battery drain then for it?00:21
pupnikmikki-kun: i get around 5-6 with wifi + ssh and battery monitor00:22
ShadowJKWhat are you using for measuring?00:22
mikki-kunpupnik: which battery monitor are you using? i am using a script which is called bq2700.sh00:23
ShadowJKand, 5-6 is very low. It's equivalent to a week of standby00:23
mikki-kunwow, mine get's around 80 mA...00:23
mikki-kunwith wifi, but also skype00:23
ShadowJKbq27200.sh is my script :)00:23
mikki-kunlol, -53 watt XD00:23
ShadowJKbut mine doesn't give watts :)00:23
mikki-kunmissed the "m" while laughing =p00:23
ShadowJKor mwatts :P00:24
ShadowJK80 is kinda high for: screen off, wifi, skype00:24
ShadowJK80 mA that is00:24
pupnikShadowJK: thanks for the script - use it all the time00:25
mikki-kunarghs, yeah, amps it is actually, not watts which are given... (both *10^-3 for coorect units)00:25
mikki-kunbut now i am getting adfter removing from th charger -50 mA...00:25
mikki-kuncool, were do i draw the energy from?00:26
ShadowJKFrom the battery00:26
mikki-kunmy electrosmog in the room?!00:26
kerioskype sucks power00:26
*** onen|openBmap has quit IRC00:26
ShadowJK- means that battery is discharging. If there is no "-", that means that the battery is getting charged.00:26
mikki-kunohhh, ok, then it makes sense x)00:26
ShadowJKSo if you want to measure how much power things use, you can't have charger connected00:26
mikki-kunbut -60 it is for me without skype :/00:26
pupnikwell there's a problem with hildon-desktop (bug known) consuming cpu00:26
pupnikthat's my current drain00:27
ShadowJKmikki-kun, do you do "./bq27200.sh 5" ?00:27
mikki-kunyup00:27
ShadowJKok :)00:28
mikki-kunman, killing py processes just draws more batt-power as they get restartet...00:28
ShadowJKOk, so I'm at -33mA myself, with wifi+skype+irx00:28
ShadowJKirc*00:28
*** jevin has quit IRC00:29
mikki-kunahhh, for christs sake... i might redo my n900 and just just use selected apps...00:30
*** rogturn has quit IRC00:30

*** Kilroo has joined #maemo00:32
*** lucent_ has quit IRC00:32
ShadowJKcatorize (or whatever it was called, the thing htat lets you rearrange your menus) is a known battery hog, btw00:32
mikki-kuni am using apmefo00:32
ShadowJKmight be fixed in cssu actually, not sure00:32
mikki-kunand actually it does help me getting faster through my menus00:32
mikki-kunohhh and i am using like 2 widgets only and two desktops from which one is empty00:33
pupnikwell don't freak out about standby drain00:33
mikki-kunso i got down from heavy widget-usage to just two, recaller and the conversations inbox00:33
pupnikhehe00:33
mikki-kunpupnik: i freak out about the battery drain at my university00:33
mikki-kun300 mA is a minimum on their wifi...00:33
pupnikwaow!00:34
mikki-kunmy poor n900 goes down in no time00:34
mikki-kunand i am on powersaving...00:34

mikki-kunbtw, is there somehow a way i can check which dbus-commands are being transmitted when i switch certain options?00:43
BCMMis there a complete list of extra classes in maemo-qt somewhere?00:44
BCMM(it's kinda hard to find them by comparing http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qt-maemo-4.7/classes.html and http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/classes.html by eye)00:44
ShadowJKmikki-kun, dbus-monitor00:52
mikki-kunShadowJK: hm, is there one already preinstalled?00:53
ShadowJKya00:53
*** lucent_ has joined #maemo00:53
BCMMgah00:54
mikki-kunhm, do you know a way on how i could call it? :)00:54
BCMM"QTextEdit and QPlainTextEdit are fully Maemo 5 style guide compliant. This means that these widgets will not show scrollbars, will not allow the user to select text and will not have kinetic scrolling enabled by default." -- so Qt isn't supposed to be able to do something like the Notes app?00:54
mikki-kunno scrollbars? immense phail imho00:55
ShadowJKdbus-monitor --session00:55
ShadowJKor something00:55
ShadowJKlots of output00:55
ShadowJKtry --help and -h00:55
mikki-kunShadowJK: thanks, so it was for once a pretty straight forward command...00:56
mikki-kunomg Ö.ö yeah, lots of output indeed Ö.ö00:56

BCMMMohammadAG: quite right, i feel stupid now02:05
BCMMi'd been quite instinctively scrolling by extending the selection, without even realising it02:06
BCMMhow do i get the current user's home directory in Qt? QFile::open doesn't seem to like #02:07
BCMMto like ~/ much02:07
DocScrutinizergetenv("HOME")02:09
BCMMah, QDir::homePath02:09
BCMMoh, that too02:09
BCMMDocScrutinizer: that uses the environment variable?02:09
DocScrutinizersure02:09
*** NIN101 has quit IRC02:10
DocScrutinizerQt for sure has a way more nifty way to do it02:10
BCMMQDir::homePath() seems to work02:11
BCMMthanks though02:12
*** chx is now known as chx_afk02:13
MohammadAGthere's another method I think02:13
BCMMit ought to support ~/02:14
BCMMi mean, if you let the user put in a path, and it has a ~/ in it, do you have to fix it yourself?02:14
MohammadAGI think there's a method to get ~/ on Linux, C:/Users/user on Windows etc02:15
MohammadAGoh that should work nvm02:16
nox-getpwnam()?02:17
nox-(and then pw_dir)02:17
*** NIN101 has joined #maemo02:21
pupniki so hate not having an escape button02:24
Venemopupnik, remap the keyboard and make yourself one02:24
pupnikwhat, "Q"02:24
pupnik?02:24
pupnikgreat idea02:26
pupnikyou remove 'q' from all instances of writing and programs on the planet02:27
pupnikthen i'll map it to escape02:27
DocScrutinizerBCMM: ~ is a shell thing02:27
BCMMit's also kinda a unix convention02:27
BCMMplenty of GUI apps work right with ~/02:27
DocScrutinizerno filesystem has a notion about meaning of ~02:27
BCMMtrue02:28
MohammadAGI might be wrong but I think ~ works in Qt02:28
BCMMbut it's not just a shell thing02:28
DocScrutinizeractually ~ is a shortcut for ${HOME}02:28
MohammadAGqDebug() << QFile("~/file").exists()02:28
DocScrutinizerwhile ~user is even more complex02:29
MohammadAGif it works in Qt, that should be true02:29
BCMMit's a shell thing and a file manager thing (for any reasonable file manager) and a file-open dialog thing (for any reasonable toolkit), etc.02:29
*** NIN101 has quit IRC02:29
nox-<nox-> getpwnam()? <- ~user02:29
*** mpoirier has quit IRC02:29
DocScrutinizerBCMM: sure a lot of apps try to conform shell behaviour and syntax02:31
BCMMQString fileName = "~"; does not work and QString fileName = QDir::homePath(); does, in my application02:31
nox-its a useful convention02:31
BCMM(it is appended to afterwards)02:31
DocScrutinizerbut they could as well use ½ instead of ~02:31
*** hardaker has quit IRC02:31
nox-haha ½02:32
BCMMyes, but they don't. all sensible shells use ~, and so do all sensible GUI apps02:33
DocScrutinizeryeah, still it's a shell thing, whatever shell you're using. Might be a file-open requester in Qt or whatever, but it's hardcoded there02:37
DocScrutinizer QString fileName = "~"; will set the filename to '~'02:37
*** _0x47 has quit IRC02:38
DocScrutinizerand you'll literally get a file named '~' if you open() for rw02:38
*** valerius has quit IRC02:39
MohammadAGlet's try that :p02:39
nox-yes sure02:39
nox-just for user input you should expand ~02:39
nox-and ~user too02:39
nox-(ok the latter i guess is less important on a phone...)02:40
DocScrutinizerjr@halley:~> echo bla >\~x02:41
DocScrutinizerjr@halley:~> ls -l ?x02:41
DocScrutinizer-rw-r--r-- 1 jr users    4 22. Apr 01:40 ~x02:41
MohammadAGand you're right02:42
DocScrutinizer\ is a shell thing, just like ~02:43

mikki-kunohhh, ok, got it... the n900 needed a coldboot06:01
mikki-kuni mean coldflash06:02
pupnik_?06:04
pupnik_what are you doing to your device06:05
*** pupnik_ is now known as pupnik06:05
mikki-kuni did remove the nokia logo...06:11
mikki-kunbut wanted to reflash it now after a whle06:11
mikki-kungot a lil slow and such stuff06:12
mikki-kuni assume it might have been caused by the nokia logo... but now that i know my way around it...06:12
mikki-kunbut the usb worked seamlessly before the flashing06:12
mikki-kunand even after rebooting my netbook (one of the few occasions i change to a new kernel, yay to bleeding edge again x)) and still seeing it fail i assumed i must coldflash and got it done then :)06:14
pupnikrhm06:16
mikki-kunnow remaking my important files06:18
mikki-kuni hope those close to 200MB were mostly only emails...06:18
mikki-kunsadly if you important contacts you need to import mail...06:18
pupnikmeh06:20
mikki-kuni don't want some other random crap back like useless dirs06:20
mikki-kuni know, sounds pretty clean but once in a while it just has to be06:20
mikki-kunahhh, clean n900 booting fast :)06:21
mikki-kunmeh, and now installing app manager..06:22
mikki-kuni mean with the app manager..06:22
pupnikwhy?06:22
pupnikah06:22
mikki-kuncause it's the only one capable of having the backup-list...06:22
mikki-kuni hate it really it being the only one capable of doing it :/06:23
pupniki'm so impressed with real programmers06:23
mikki-kunpupnik: but it's awesome to have removed the NOKIA-logo which shows up after reboot (jacekowski did there the work actually, without him i would have been really lost)06:24
pupnikhmm i dunno why you don't like the logo06:24
mikki-kuncause it's a huge NOKIA logo... i mean i know have one, they don't need to show me :)06:25
pupnik:)06:25
derfWait, how do you remove that?06:25
mikki-kunderf: with magic and a lot of indepth knowledge on nolo...06:25
derfYes, I know that much.06:26
mikki-kunwhich board do you have?06:26
mikki-kuni might be able to supply you with what has already been done06:26

mikki-kunohh, found the two responsible commands though... i just overlooked them06:43

pupnikhw-build 2101 here06:45
derfHmm, my device is sitting on my desk at the office and not responding to ssh.06:45
mikki-kun:) we have the same board then :)06:45
mikki-kunmost probably laggy wireless on it06:45
derfYes. It interacts pretty terribly with the router we have there.06:46
pupniki have to keep a ping running on my device06:46
pupnikto ssh to it06:46
mikki-kunit does help to prevent it dying06:46
mikki-kunluckily my home-network is pretty good though06:46
pupnikdid you see lcuk's fix for wobbly power connector?06:47
pupnikhe opened the board and inserted a shim between the usb connector and the thing right above it06:47

yigalsame problem?08:52
yigal/home/user # mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs08:52
yigalmount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /home/user/MyDocs failed: Invalid argument08:52
yigalit's in /etc/fstab08:53
yigalnot sure if that helps08:54

yigalthat's its entry08:55
yigalI'm gonna reinstall mount?08:56
slonopotamusyigal: is there /dev/mmcblk0p1 at all?08:56
yigalyes08:56
slonopotamusmount | grep mmcblk0p108:57
slonopotamusmount can give invalid argument if device is already mounted08:58
yigalone sec I used sudo su which initially appeared to work as I didn't install gainroot on this machine, so I think robbiethe1st's suggestions are valid08:58
robbiethe1stUh08:58
robbiethe1stwhat's in /home/user/mydocs now?08:59
robbiethe1stCause yea, it /may/ be mounted08:59
yigalnot mounted08:59
yigaldf mount no sign of 0p108:59
yigalbut one sec, and thank you for the help08:59
robbiethe1stGo install Backupmenu; reboot with keyboard open, plug it into a PC via USB, hit "w", and access it that way09:00
robbiethe1stThen you can back things up and restore as needed09:00
* slonopotamus wonders if "one sec" is the latency09:00
yigalok, one sec ~ 5-10 minutes sorry for lack of quantative precision09:01

yigalok rootsh and backupmenu installing via faster app manager wish I could apt-get these but well hopefully after the download09:04
yigalslonopotamus: mount | grep 0p1 - gets nothing09:04
slonopotamusokay. now, is there anything in dmesg after you try to mount it and get Invalid argument? btw, to be sure, mount with "-t vfat" flag09:05
yigalno same bad stuff after gaining root through, "root" via rootsh package09:05

yigalrobbiethe1st: ahh, you tried dude, that's huge09:05
robbiethe1stAll I can really say is that filesystems on the N900 can be finicky; most of the time it's the OptFS that dies, though09:06
yigalya the file system isn't ext* so I'm not expecting much :D09:07
yigalwell parts are but not the personal storage09:07
yigalslonopotamus: no dmesg doesn't seem to have anything in it?09:08
robbiethe1stWell, the optfs /is/ ext* (ext3 I think) and it ends up dying for some people quite a bit. The FAT32 mydocs should be fixable, though it may require access from a PC09:08

DocScrutinizerpiggz: ...I.E. both live in same partition and can't get installed separately13:07

*** jhb has joined #maemo13:17
DocScrutinizerumm, not exactly. Kernel needs its modules13:17

*** X-Fade has quit IRC13:19

*** SmilyOrg has joined #maemo13:20

*** mesx has joined #maemo13:23
*** jhb has quit IRC13:24
DocScrutinizerbtw that's (modules) exactly why multiboot is broken - you can't deinstall it13:24
*** Spydemon has joined #maemo13:25
DocScrutinizerand it will mess up system beyond recover (= flash it) when you interrupt the insane flashing of kernel and modules at *each* boottime13:25
*** Rarok has joined #maemo13:27
DocScrutinizeralso installing any new kernel after multiboot got installed will break at very least multiboot, but likely also the new kernel and thus the whole system -> reflash13:28
DocScrutinizerergo: multiboot is crap, nobody except nitdroid folks needs it, and so it's deprecated13:29
robbiethe1st^^ One hopes it will die, but just like VB, it will probably linger around for years, causing pain for everyone13:30
DocScrutinizer(nitdroid folks as well could have changed to use of uBoot since long - simply they don't care about all the problems they cause, as long as their crap works)13:30
keks-n>>just like VB13:30
keks-nWhat do you have agains it?13:30

DocScrutinizerVB, COM, now even MONO... too much13:40
keks-nOK. What do you suggest? Python?13:41
robbiethe1stI dunno; Java /does/ work cross-platform, relatively fast. Not nearly as good as native, but oh well...13:41
robbiethe1stPython, C++...13:41
keks-nMono also work pretty fast13:41
keks-nFaster then python13:41
keks-nI'm using it to host ASP.NET applications on my Linux servers and have no problems with perfomance13:42
DocScrutinizersure, and it only brought my 512MB desktop intel system to a grinding halt like 50 times13:42
robbiethe1stWell, you could probably port it to PHP and do 10x as much with the same computer13:42
keks-nActually I've ported the engine FROM php13:42
robbiethe1stAdmittedly, PHP's not great... but I'd use it over Mono.13:42
keks-nAnd got about 5 times better perfomance13:43
robbiethe1stOptimize it better, then?13:43
DocScrutinizeresp when some gasheads at Suse decided to build their new packet manager with mono components (buzzword red carpet)13:43
keks-nWhy should I use php instead of compilable language with strong typization?13:44
robbiethe1stBecause of that last bit. Loose typing makes things easy.13:44
keks-nlol13:44
robbiethe1stLet me just say that I won't have Mono installed on my desktop or computers. Nor Silverlight. Flash is OK(but I block it all the time), and Java is... a necessary evil. Mainly for Runescape.13:44

DocScrutinizerVenemo: I hope installation comes with a free RAM upgrade to 512MB at very least13:46
VenemoDocScrutinizer, :P13:46
robbiethe1stIt would be like saying OpenJDK isn't an Oracle/sun product; Sure, OpenJDK wasn't developed by them, but the language was.13:47
robbiethe1st.net == microsoft. Mono wasn't, but who cares? Language still has MS stuff in it13:47
Venemoand who cares?13:48
DocScrutinizermono definitely is the most evil rogue resource hog BS thing I ever seen on any unixoid machine13:48
VenemoDocScrutinizer, that was true maybe 5-10 years ago. but not now.13:48
DocScrutinizeroooh sorry, I forgot this c+++++ library, what it's called? BOOST13:49
keks-nDon't remind about it -_-13:49
DocScrutinizeralmost has the potential to beat MONO on BS-factor13:49
VenemoDocScrutinizer, for example, the Banshee media player (which uses the evil Mono) consumes less resources on my machine than Totem movie player (that's written in C)13:49
robbiethe1stBut seriously, for something like the N900 you want as much optimization as you can get: Python works good for GUI-scripting, as all the /hard/ stuff's being done natively in C++.  Most intensive code should be done using C/C++ for performance, IMHO.13:49

DocScrutinizermikki-kun: there's no priority issue with your setup. It's just trackerd (IF it really been trackerd that caused the hang) needs some time to cleanup, as ke-recv on detecting MassStorageMode selected doesn't kill -9 the trackerd17:25
mikki-kunhm, there is... somehow some emerge went misserably wrong and i had loads of 20+ on my netbook... i then had to just kill it, and my harddisk was said to be corrupted... still it went on with what it had to do, even without it actually being properly booting... i had full control over it. so far i haven't found an easy way, if you screw around with some system-files on how to repair it from it's infinite boot-cycle17:25

DocScrutinizera lot of reboot loops can get stopped so you can fix the cause, by enabling R&D and no-wd17:30
DocScrutinizerrescue-initrd is another way to fix a bootlooping system17:30
mikki-kunno-wd?17:31
DocScrutinizeror simply booting meego and then mounting the maemo rootfs there to fix it17:31

pupnikSecurity researchers have discovered that Apple's iPhone keeps track of where you go – and saves every detail of it to a secret file on the device which is then copied to the owner's computer when the two are synchronised.21:38

derfWelcome to two days ago.21:39
pupnikWarden and Allan point out that the file is moved onto new devices when an old one is replaced21:39
*** avs has joined #maemo21:40
pupnikApple can legitimately claim that it has permission to collect the data: near the end of the 15,200-word terms and conditions for its iTunes program, used to synchronise with iPhones, iPods and iPads, is an 86-word paragraph about "location-based services".21:41

pupnikshare feedback in the proper place Badabing23:07
thopiekarhi.. need your opinion.. is it easy to repair the N900's usb? found a device on ebay from a seller that says that it is broken because it's usb is broken and he can't flash..23:07
*** unixSnob has quit IRC23:07
thopiekarand the device needs flashing because of a software problem..23:07
Badabingif u can solder it, then yes i guess?23:07
ShadowJKif the copper traces lifted it's pretty much unrepairable23:08
thopiekar:S23:08
*** mrsellout has quit IRC23:08
beford.23:08
ShadowJKif just the connector came out, it's hard but repairable I'd say :P23:09
jrayhawk'13:02 < Badabing> HI! So when can we expext an maemo tablet;D' the answer is 200523:09
thopiekarSurely I'm good at soldering but if it would be like ShadowJK said it will be very hard for sure..23:09
thopiekarhmm k23:09
thopiekarjust need to ask him how that happend..23:09
thopiekarthanks ShadowJK, Badabing23:09
Badabingif ur so good at soldering. do my RC heli. i cant fix it :D23:10
ShadowJKI'm not sure people can actually tell before opening up the device23:10
thopiekarBadabing: you should take a look at the controller which i made for a school project :D23:14
thopiekarWhen I finished that work I was on myself suprised how much wire I used :D23:15
thopiekar(got the pictures on facebook)23:15
Badabingyeah its not my 4-in-1 controller. but thx anyway L) its only 100euro :D23:16
Badabingit only spins now...23:16
Badabingreal fast:)23:17
ShadowJKBadabing, 4in1? esky?23:17
Badabingyeah23:17
Badabinghoneybee FP223:17
ShadowJKI have one of those too :)23:18
Badabingbut u have to put the wire first then connect it. maybe its broken. but 3 engines cant be all broken..23:18
ShadowJKspinning is your 4in1, your P and G settings, or your tail motor (and/or) tailrotor system23:19
Badabingyeah it has no tail rotor now:D23:19
ShadowJKit doesn't spin at all?23:19
ShadowJKtailrotor23:19
Badabingone of my 1st flight :) it crashed nope23:19

Badabingi was hoping to maybe make some kind of remote so i can control it with my N90023:21
Badabinglike iphone also can23:21
*** mrsellout has joined #maemo23:21
ShadowJKwell..23:22
*** Jade has quit IRC23:22
ShadowJK3D machines are a few factors more expensive to repair23:22
ShadowJKso I'd learn to fly and repair hbfpv2 first23:22
Badabingyeah only have time spent on a sim23:22
Badabingbut its only that tailrotor. and its rdy to fly..23:23
DocScrutinizerthopiekar: it's feasible, even when the copper pads for the contacts came off23:23
ShadowJKfor iphone/n900 control you'll need a onboard autopilot :)23:23
Badabinggot 4 battery a 20 euro a piece;D23:23
thopiekarfound at thread about that DocScrutinizer..23:23
*** SmilyOrg has quit IRC23:23
ShadowJKBadabing, so you need to solder the tailmotor wires and you'd be set?23:23
thopiekarhttp://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=54762&page=3 DocScrutinizer23:23
Badabingyeah but i tried it like 50 times..23:23
Badabingmaybe it is that 4-123:24
Badabingthingy23:24
ShadowJKdo you have two paperclips?23:24
Badabingy suppose23:24
ShadowJKand a sharp knife23:24
Badabingshort circuit it?23:24
ShadowJKno23:24
DocScrutinizerthopiekar: yep23:24

*** Jade has quit IRC23:25
*** Jade has joined #maemo23:25
thopiekarhope that the price on ebay will remain small then I suggest to buy it..23:26
ShadowJKyou bend the paperclips straight, then use knife to scrape off insulation from both ends. Then, if you bend them appropriately, you can use an AA battery as power source to apply power onto the tailmotors + and -23:26
thopiekarjust 23hours left and one euro on it..23:26
thopiekar:D23:26
Badabinghow hard is it btw to connect a fish eye lens on my n90023:26
ShadowJKYeah, if you didn't cut power when crashing, and tail rotor was stuck, it's more likely to destroy the 4in1 than the tailmotor23:27
Badabingbut those are like 30-35 euros.23:27
ShadowJKya :(23:27
Badabingthe grass is so long tail rotor always hits it.23:27
ShadowJKwhich is why if the motor turns when you apply power to it, the motor works23:28
Badabingbut sulfic acid should do the trick also right ;d23:28
Badabingor plain alcohol23:28
*** keks-n has quit IRC23:28
ShadowJKand if you can also put some wires into the actual connector and test power there, and motor moves, your solderin is ok23:29
*** githogori has joined #maemo23:29
Badabingoh now i see. external power;)23:29
Badabingill try right away :D23:29
ShadowJKdo you have a multimeter?23:29
ShadowJKPersonally I use a ,7 x 1.4m sheet of paper ontop of the grass as landing pad :)23:30
SpeedEvilOr a lawnmower23:30
*** Jade has quit IRC23:31
ShadowJKwell the gear and help gear struts easily gets caught on uneveness in the ground too23:31
* ShadowJK had a few incidents of dynamic rollover before getting "pad"23:31
Badabingi got a 30 inch FAN ;D23:31
Badabing+ 220 v motor. "but wont be flying :)23:32
*** abissom has joined #maemo23:34
Badabinghow much RC's u have ? i once had this buy madness ;d23:35
*** ftrvxmtrx has joined #maemo23:35
ShadowJKBasically, the 4in1 blows if you try apply power and the rotors are obstructed from turning... Or if there's a short circuit anywhere23:35
ShadowJKI only have hbfpv223:35
Badabingi also have lama v4 and mini heli + PLANE23:35
*** abissom has quit IRC23:35
Badabingso cool with this spy cam mounted on it23:35
ShadowJKI'm hoping to get some real-life ff, fff, nose-in and stuff done this season, and maybe progress to 6ch collective pitch23:36
Badabingtoo bad its not realstream23:36
ShadowJKOne of the first things I practiced in the sim was to get an instinctive "oh shit, it's impossible to recover before hitting ground/house/tree, cut power"-reflex :)23:38
Badabinguntil u crash and spend tens of hours repairing:D23:38
*** Jade has joined #maemo23:38
*** aloril has quit IRC23:38
*** bsdmaniak has quit IRC23:39
ShadowJKWorst real-life crash so far was hitting a telephone pole. I had my n900 video filming, and when I reviewed the recording, I could hear motor shut down like .5 sec before the "clonk" sound of hitting telephone pole :)23:39
ShadowJKI had to change blades, flybar and main shaft after that one :)23:40
Badabingcan u fly it in a suburb? thought it was illegal23:40
ShadowJKthis is not a suburb23:41
Badabingdown town paris?23:41
BadabingxD23:41
ShadowJKI'm in the countryside finland, which means the nearest police officer is 40km away :P23:42
*** sid has quit IRC23:42
Badabingit brings the boys in most men above those things. specially with nitro engines23:43
lcukShadowJK, what are you flying?23:43
Badabinghoneybee fp2 same as mine23:43
ShadowJKit's a beginner's trainer heli :)23:44
Badabingyeah. but man i couldnt let it to level ;D23:44
Badabingdid one circle lap then the wind crashed it.23:45
lcuki took one of my helicopters outside once23:45
lcukspent weeks rebuilding it23:45
X-FadeOh, interesting conversation :)23:45
Badabingyeah alot of offtopic chatter;D23:45
* X-Fade flies big electric 3D helis :)23:46
ShadowJKI started with hovering. Biggest mistake == flying in the wind. I had no idea when I was controlling it and when wind was controlling it. Then I got the large paper sheet landing pad. If landing pad moves, it's too windy :)23:46
Badabingelectric has so much lift they say. more as nitro23:46
X-FadeLogo 600SE 12S 4KW :)23:46
lcukX-Fade, \o having a whole squad of indoor helis in a big open building would be fun thing to do23:46
Badabingbut the hpfp2 should be doable with BF 3-423:47
ShadowJKLogo in Heli-X sim is just insane :)23:47
X-FadeFP is annoying, that will learn you the wrong reflexes.23:47
X-FadeThat will certainly crash you when you fly CP.23:47
Badabingtoo bad hobbyking doesnt ship to netherlands anymore23:47
ShadowJKX-Fade, oh?23:47
*** larsivi has quit IRC23:48
Badabingfor 55 euro a complete ATF heli ;D23:48
X-FadeBadabing: Dude, I have 100+ orders there :)23:48
Badabingwell customs are taxing it now.23:48
X-FadeAnd I know for sure they ship to NL :)23:48
ShadowJKX-Fade, what reflexes go wrong?23:48
Badabingoh. :)23:48
Badabingfunny u guys love these things23:48
X-FadeShadowJK: You pull down throttle.23:48
Badabingin a maemo channel:D23:49
X-FadeShadowJK: That will rocket you into the ground with 12 degrees of negative pitch on a cp heli :)23:49
lcukBadabing, small hand held controllers :)23:49
Badabingtrue :)23:49
Badabingi love hacking my neighbours iphone 3 all the time:D23:49
ShadowJKX-Fade, heh, all winter I've been flying sim with 0 degree in centre position :)23:49
Badabinghe's so stupid to have BT on all the time23:50
lcukthe first thing many people did with n900 was fly it around like an pilot23:50
* lcuk remembers lots of people whooshing and zooming with it23:50
Badabingu guys ever got neopwn installed?23:50
*** SmilyOrg has joined #maemo23:50
X-FadeShadowJK: But really FP is nothing like CP. It is only good for orientation.23:51
ShadowJKX-Fade, i thought many people flew with throttle/pitch curve where full down is -1 pitch 0 throttle or something like that, and then flip switch for 3D23:51
*** aloril has joined #maemo23:51
*** spiritd has quit IRC23:51
ShadowJKmaybe I'll get a CP sooner than later then :)23:51
X-FadeShadowJK: Beginners do sometimes. But then get into trouble when the wind blows there heli upwards towards the sky :)23:52
X-FadeShadowJK: As then you can't get it back down without shutting down the engine and losing control.23:52
ShadowJKlol, I've had that with my fp :)23:52
GAN900RC . . . one day23:52
GAN900When I stop spending money on lenses.23:52
*** Sargun has joined #maemo23:52
lcukX-Fade, it depends if the pilot is used to souring craft too23:53
lcukbut for sure if you only have indoor experience the wind makes for odd experience23:53
Badabinglenses?23:53
*** Jade has quit IRC23:53
X-Fadelcuk: I train multiple people at my club and the things I see there ;)23:53
lcuk:) nice23:53
ShadowJKBut I had practiced FP-in-wind in the sim before even buying heli, and pulsing throttle to keep control worked rather well in real life too :)23:53
Badabingwhat is that23:53
lcukshall have to visit when I next come to NL23:53
X-Fadelcuk: Sure, do come over.23:54

lcukX-Fade, do you fly indoors or mix?23:54
ShadowJKI suspect his helis are too big for indoor :)23:54
X-Fadelcuk: I like more power, so I just fly all year round.23:54
Badabingi also love those jets . so cool miniature jet engine23:54
X-FadeI do have a T-Rex 250 for indoor.23:55
*** hannesw has quit IRC23:55
ShadowJKindoor in the context of 250 means baseball stadium, right?23:55
ShadowJKor gymnasium23:55
Badabingyeah those are big23:55
X-FadeA gym. 250 is 330gram.23:56
Badabingwhat should i buy from hobbyking?23:56
lcukX-Fade, good stuff, attach n900 to it23:56
Badabingany suggestions?23:56
X-FadeBadabing: Batteries :)23:56
X-Fadelcuk: Not that one, way to heavy.23:56
Badabingi love the building process btw23:56
ShadowJKYeah, 250 is same size as hbfpv2 then :) (but the t-rex has magnitudes more power and manouverability, of course)23:57
Badabingany of u have a nitro one?23:58
ShadowJKlcuk, I wouldn't put more than 50grams on my honeybee (300-ish gram heli)23:58
X-FadeNitro is so low power :)23:58
GAN900Badabing, bought a Canon 7d last year.23:58
Badabingbut the sound + smell :)23:58
lcukX-Fade, you ever flown a real one?23:58

ShadowJKlol23:59
merlin1991yea23:59
merlin1991wrong window :D23:59
X-Fadelcuk: The amount of G I can pull on my heli is insane.23:59
ShadowJKrc helis have so much power they can escape from anything and ignore aerodynamics :D23:59
