| Maxdamantus | Hm. I think I have a charging thing with a USB port that's sensitive to usage of the data pins. | 07:52 |
|---|---|---|
| Maxdamantus | It has its own (unreliable) USB cable that I suspect doesn't do anything with the pins from the A end and just has the microUSB data pins shorted. | 07:54 |
| Maxdamantus | with a normal cable, plugging it into the N900 causes it (the power source) to go into some sort of panic mode where it flashes an LED. | 07:55 |
| Maxdamantus | and shorting the data pins on it causes it to do it for other devices too. | 07:56 |
| Maxdamantus | Hm. | 07:56 |

| Maxdamantus | uhhimhere: It's not going to. | 08:54 |
| uhhimhere | how come | 08:54 |
| uhhimhere | theyre both arm based | 08:54 |
| uhhimhere | and run on linux | 08:54 |
| Luke-Jr | Neither Maemo nor Android run on vanilla Linux | 08:55 |
| uhhimhere | so maemo cant use the lates kernel | 08:56 |
| Luke-Jr | also, Maemo is dead | 08:56 |
| Luke-Jr | for years now | 08:56 |
| Maxdamantus | afaik the standard Hildon binaries won't run without the particular OMAP graphics chip. | 08:56 |
| uhhimhere | Luke-Jr: there are more people in this room than say #sgs5 | 08:57 |
| uhhimhere | Luke-Jr: or sailfish | 08:57 |
| uhhimhere | Luke-Jr: in fact the one that comes closest is ubuntu-touch | 08:58 |
| uhhimhere | so it cant be that dead | 08:58 |
| freemangordon | Luke-Jr: hmm, my n900 doesn't show signs of being dead :) | 08:58 |
| Luke-Jr | maybe because there's no alternative to Maemo yet? | 08:58 |
| freemangordon | most probably | 08:58 |
| Luke-Jr | uhhimhere: also keep in mind Maemo is closed source, so an active community can't really maintain it | 08:58 |
| freemangordon | Luke-Jr: there were some developments on those closed bits recently | 08:59 |
| Luke-Jr | oh? | 08:59 |

| bencoh | (bme fucked up my calibration yesterday night) | 12:59 |
| Pali | bencoh, nokia bme monitor only voltage and current | 12:59 |
| Pali | nothing more | 12:59 |

| Pali | and also mAh | 12:59 |
| * Maxdamantus should've done electronics in high school. | 12:59 | |
| bencoh | which means that their formula is off for this battery I guess | 12:59 |
| Pali | nokia bme is toxic | 13:00 |
| bencoh | haha, yeah | 13:00 |
| Pali | it store state infomation to CAL | 13:00 |
| bencoh | well I'm willing to ditch it but I still need to calibrate first | 13:00 |
| bencoh | oh, and ... one thing that bothers me | 13:00 |
| Pali | so it can "remember" some data used for guessing mAh | 13:00 |
| bencoh | once you get rid of nokia bme, you only have bq27xx to get battery info ... which will remain silent if CI=1 | 13:01 |
| Pali | yes, then you will use data from bq27200 chip | 13:01 |
| bencoh | meaning that if you remove the battery for some reason (SIM swap for instance) you wont have any battery indicator until you recalibrate | 13:01 |
| Pali | yes | 13:02 |
| bencoh | does bq27200 stores its state somewhere ? | 13:02 |
| Pali | yes, in chip | 13:02 |
| bencoh | ram ? | 13:02 |
| bencoh | or nvram ? | 13:02 |
| Pali | do not remember | 13:03 |
| Pali | but n900 has backup battery | 13:03 |
| bencoh | I'll have to reread the ti spec | 13:03 |
| Maxdamantus | Does anyone's backup battery still work? | 13:03 |
| bencoh | hmm, does your backup battery work ? :D | 13:03 |
| Pali | and that is used in case when you remove big bl5j bayttery | 13:03 |
| Pali | my is probably dead now :-) | 13:03 |
| Pali | need to replace it | 13:03 |
| bencoh | same here ;) | 13:03 |
| Maxdamantus | So you know that it resets (and uses ILMD) when you take the battery out (if the backup battery is also dead)? | 13:04 |
| * Maxdamantus guesses he hasn't taken his battery out since using bme-replacement. | 13:04 | |

| bencoh | oh, register backup unit | 13:12 |
| Pali | "The RBI input pin is used with an external capacitor to provide backup potential to the internal registers when VCC drops below V(POR)." | 13:12 |
| bencoh | RBI is connected to C1135 (100n) on n900 | 13:14 |

| Maxdamantus | I don't like buying things. | 14:26 |
| honestly | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 14:26 |
| Maxdamantus | I think my multimeter indicated that it allowed 0.33 A through it. | 14:27 |
| Maxdamantus | Though I don't really trust my newly-tested multimeter skills. | 14:27 |
| * Maxdamantus hasn't tried with a normal cable. | 14:28 | |
| kerio | Maxdamantus: USB mandates 0.5A | 14:30 |
| Maxdamantus | I'm pretty sure the device it came with doesn't care what USB mandates. | 14:31 |
| Maxdamantus | Since it originally didn't charge my N900 with a normal USB cable. | 14:32 |
| uhhimhere | Maxdamantus, couldnt you output the driver values | 14:32 |
| Maxdamantus | uhhimhere: hopefully. | 14:32 |
| Maxdamantus | but dunno where to look. | 14:33 |
| Maxdamantus | /sys/class/power_supply/bq24150a-0/charge_current seems to always be 550 | 14:33 |
| Maxdamantus | even when it's not plugged in. | 14:33 |
| Maxdamantus | that seems like the most sensible name for what I'm looking for. | 14:33 |
| Maxdamantus | Maybe that's meant to be configurable. | 14:34 |
| Maxdamantus | so maybe if I write 330 into it I'll be able to use the charger with a normal cable. | 14:34 |
| Maxdamantus | Doesn't seem to be. | 14:35 |
| *** ssvb has quit IRC | 14:35 | |

| uhhimhere | i think your best best really is your multimeter | 14:43 |
| uhhimhere | its an "unbiased opinion" | 14:43 |
| uhhimhere | heres a stupid question...did you break the circuit | 14:43 |
| uhhimhere | to measure the current | 14:44 |
| uhhimhere | you gotta measure current in series.... | 14:44 |
| Maxdamantus | I didn't have anything actually running on it. | 14:46 |
| uhhimhere | yeah you gotta have something running first | 14:46 |
| Maxdamantus | I suspect that's what the two different contacts on the multimeter are for. | 14:46 |
| honestly | ... | 14:46 |
| honestly | ...no? | 14:47 |
| uhhimhere | im sorry back up | 14:47 |
| uhhimhere | did you have a load on the usb port? | 14:47 |
| Maxdamantus | No. Just a multimeter, with the USB connected to the "10ADC" pin. | 14:47 |
| uhhimhere | lol | 14:47 |
| uhhimhere | ok | 14:47 |
| Maxdamantus | as opposed to the "VΩMA" pin. | 14:48 |
| uhhimhere | nananana | 14:48 |
| honestly | this kills the usb | 14:48 |
| uhhimhere | you gotta load it and then put it into A(amps) | 14:48 |
| honestly | well, it shouldn't | 14:48 |
| honestly | but really putting a multimeter inside a usb circuit isn't easy | 14:49 |
| honestly | get a usb charger doctor | 14:49 |
| uhhimhere | it is you just gotta cut up a a USB cable | 14:49 |
| Maxdamantus | I think I've shortcircuited my USB before and restarted it by reloading *hci_core | 14:49 |
| Maxdamantus | er, *hci_hcd | 14:49 |
| uhhimhere | ok so let me get this straight | 14:50 |
| uhhimhere | your trying to measure the USB output power by hooking it up to a meter directly? | 14:50 |
| Maxdamantus | Kind of. | 14:51 |
| uhhimhere | meters have infinite(close to) impedance; which is why it wont(shouldnt) draw any current. Its not meant to act as a load | 14:51 |
| uhhimhere | you need to load it | 14:51 |
| honestly | uhhimhere: no. | 14:51 |
| Maxdamantus | uhhimhere: I think it depends what contact you're using. | 14:51 |
| uhhimhere | orly? | 14:51 |
| Maxdamantus | I think one of them draws as much current as it can (up to 10A) | 14:52 |
| honestly | when you put a multimeter into current measure mode it has close to zero impedance. | 14:52 |
| Maxdamantus | and the other draws as little as possible. | 14:52 |
| honestly | Maxdamantus: no. | 14:52 |
| honestly | Maxdamantus: the only difference between the high-amperage and low-amperage terminals, when in current measure mode, is the fuse. | 14:52 |
| Maxdamantus | Ah. | 14:53 |
| honestly | a multimeter in current measure mode is a dead short. | 14:54 |
| Maxdamantus | Ah right, my driver indicated that. | 14:55 |
| Maxdamantus | [2601747.694160] hub 1-1:1.0: over-current condition on port 1 | 14:56 |
| Maxdamantus | So why did my multimeter just say 0.33? | 14:56 |
| honestly | who knows? | 14:56 |
| honestly | i don't know how the circuitry in the usb port is laid out | 14:57 |
| Maxdamantus | Maybe my USB chip limits it to that when it notices the "over-current condition" | 14:57 |
| Maxdamantus | I imagine USB should be expected to be resilient to shortages on modern motherboards. | 14:58 |
| uhhimhere | Maxdamantus, yeah well in anycase again electricity 101. you wanna measure current. You break the circuit. Or use a clamp | 14:59 |
| uhhimhere | hall effect etc | 14:59 |
| uhhimhere | load it with something that its meant to drive | 15:00 |
| uhhimhere | and break the circuit with the meter or clamp it | 15:00 |
| Maxdamantus | Would have to find more USB cables to take apart. | 15:00 |
| * Maxdamantus is using rolled-up aluminium foil to connect things to the terminals on his multimeter. | 15:01 | |
| honestly | the usb limits current anyway if there is no enumeration | 15:01 |
| uhhimhere | why do you wanna know anyways? | 15:02 |
| honestly | i.e. there's no proper usb device connected | 15:03 |
| Maxdamantus | I want to know what's special about the USB cable that came with some Chinese solar power charger thing. | 15:04 |
| uhhimhere | its made in china? | 15:05 |
| Maxdamantus | Yes. | 15:05 |
| uhhimhere | thats special enough? | 15:05 |
| honestly | Maxdamantus: so just measure the resistance of the cable? | 15:06 |
| Maxdamantus | Yeah, I can probably do that with some more aluminium foil and cardboard. | 15:06 |
| uhhimhere | TF | 15:06 |
| uhhimhere | lol | 15:07 |
| uhhimhere | you forgot cookie dough to hold everything together | 15:07 |
| uhhimhere | seriously where do you live? in martha stewarts kitchen? | 15:07 |
| Maxdamantus | New Zealand, but I don't normally buy these sorts of things. | 15:08 |
| *** konelix__ has joined #maemo | 15:09 | |
| uhhimhere | if you had half a brain to buy a multimeter and not build a galvanometer im pressed to believe that you dont have any wires lying around | 15:11 |
| Maxdamantus | Someone was throwing the multimeter out. | 15:12 |
| uhhimhere | lol | 15:12 |
| uhhimhere | k | 15:12 |
| uhhimhere | Maxdamantus, http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/power-management.txt#509 | 15:12 |
| uhhimhere | interesting | 15:12 |
| Maxdamantus | Indeed. | 15:14 |
| uhhimhere | Maxdamantus, : http://yosemitefoothills.com/Electronics/USBProgrammingSummary.html | 15:26 |
| uhhimhere | The hub controller detects the device, reads its USB descriptors, and makes sure it doesn't demand too much power. | 15:27 |
| uhhimhere | well there ya go | 15:27 |
| Maxdamantus | "demand" as in "ask for"? | 15:28 |
| Maxdamantus | or "use" | 15:28 |
| Maxdamantus | I suspect it means ask for. | 15:28 |
| uhhimhere | i suspect rating | 15:28 |
| uhhimhere | max draw | 15:28 |
| uhhimhere | youd have to check USB spec | 15:28 |
| *** Vajb has quit IRC | 15:28 | |
| Maxdamantus | Yes, but there's the current that's actually drawn and the current the device has asked to draw. | 15:28 |
| Maxdamantus | A device is only meant to draw something like 100 mA until it asks the host if it can use more. | 15:29 |
| Maxdamantus | otherwise it's just not complying to the specification, though I don't think hosts usually care. | 15:29 |
| uhhimhere | i suspect its a case of whats your max need | 15:29 |
| uhhimhere | i dont care bout whats in between; if i can handle it youre in else you shouldnt be on usb | 15:30 |
| uhhimhere | kinda thing? | 15:30 |
| Maxdamantus | I think it can negotiate. | 15:31 |
| Maxdamantus | So a device might ask what the most it can draw is. | 15:32 |
| Maxdamantus | It's kind of well-known to N900 users because N900s won't normally charge unless either the data pins are shorted (indicating a dumb power source), or it asks a host if it can draw more power. | 15:34 |
| Maxdamantus | and lots of car chargers, etc won't do either. | 15:34 |
| Maxdamantus | so you have to short the pins on the charger or use a cable that does that. | 15:35 |
| Maxdamantus | most phones don't care and will draw the current they want to anyway. | 15:35 |
