09:48 jnettlet Bluerise, dxtr, I am going to hack a HummingBoard Pro into a netbook as an attempt at a lower cost MX6 laptop
10:13 _Rarity Does anybody know if cubox-i supports Miracast?
10:15 dz0ny _Rarity: no that's closend+vendored tech?
10:15 dz0ny sry
10:15 dz0ny closed*
10:16 dz0ny coffee hasn't kicked in yet
10:16 dz0ny but you can run chomecast clone :)
10:20 _Rarity dz0ny: Cool!
10:21 _Rarity dz0ny: Thanks for the answer. I would be killer if I could display my android screen on my TV
10:22 dz0ny _Rarity: you can do that with allcast
10:22 dz0ny and android as os on cuboxi
10:23 dz0ny https://plus.google.com/u/0/110558071969009568835/posts/eB9NzgP87wK
10:25 _Rarity dz0ny: Wow, thanks a lot. Gonna install android on my cubox-i right away!
10:28 dxtr Yay! Massdrop finally shipped my ergodox
11:08 mboeru hi guys, What would be the right way to set a smaller resolution, like 1280x1024 in the uEnv file?
11:09 mboeru I have a dell E207wfp monitor
11:09 mboeru for testing with the cubox-i
11:10 mboeru I am trying with video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1280x1024M@60
11:11 cbxbiker61 cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes
11:11 cbxbiker61 echo 'S:1920x1080p-60' | sudo tee /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode
11:11 cbxbiker61 something like that works
11:15 mboeru ok, will try
11:15 mboeru thanks
13:45 Bluerise jnettlet: You should post some pictures of that then!
13:47 jnettlet Bluerise, oh I definitely will. Still sorting out the particulars. I think I will wire the keyboard/touch/audio into an arduino with a BTLE shield. Then I can use the laptop as a BT speaker for my phone with the SOC powered down, and also remote control other BT devices with the keyboard/trackpad.
13:47 jnettlet probably wire up the Fn keys to switch between bluetooth pairings
13:47 Bluerise that sounds interesting...
13:47 Bluerise battery?
13:48 jnettlet something stupid for now. Probably one of the external battery usb battery chargers.
13:48 Bluerise heh
13:48 jnettlet you can get those quite powerful and they do 5v 2amp which is perfect for the HB. It all depends on the display I end up with.
13:50 jnettlet If I can actually get another Pixel Qi screen then I am fine. That is happy with 3.3V lvds which the HB can supply
13:51 Bluerise Pixel Qi?
13:51 Bluerise hmm
13:51 Bluerise Wonder if I can replace the board of that netbook I have
13:53 Bluerise Trying to sleep here at uni, but it's really tough on this chair and table,...
13:53 jnettlet sorry minimum to power the LED for the Pixel Qi is 4.5 Volts, but still below the 5volts of those battery packs
13:54 Bluerise First I gotta write that ipu driver...
13:54 Bluerise well, actually, I gotta complete the move from oabi to eabi first ;)
13:54 Bluerise and then IPU, also more work on Chromebook,...
