| 14:50 | topi`> | Ke: yes the RTC battery seems to be there. However I have not measured the voltage |
| 14:51 | topi`> | jnettlet[m]: do you have any measurements of ClearFog's power usage? we have a customer who says that power draw is absolutely crucial for them |
| 14:51 | topi`> | that rules out industrial PCs that draw 20+ watts at idle |
| 14:52 | jnettlet[m]> | topi`: 4 watts idle 7 watts max |
| 14:53 | jnettlet[m]> | Could be more with additional cards. |
| 15:00 | topi`> | ok |
| 15:04 | topi`> | duh, it seems the customer wants WiFi as well for some unknown reason |
| 15:05 | topi`> | how can we have WiFi on CF if the two mPCIe slots are already taken? |
| 15:07 | vpeter> | USB stick? |
| 15:09 | topi`> | sounds dodgy |
| 15:10 | topi`> | maybe the SDIO signals for a chip like ath6004 could be routed via the SD card slot ;) |
| 15:10 | topi`> | although I am sure there are better sdio using wifi chips out there |
| 15:13 | Ke> | I have been using USB wifi AP 5/% |
| 15:13 | Ke> | 5/5 |
| 15:14 | Ke> | that is still my plan with mbin also |
| 15:16 | topi`> | mbin has a nice pcie x4 slot |
| 15:18 | Ke> | needed for "other purposes" |
| 15:18 | Ke> | mostly more sata |
| 15:19 | topi`> | I wish I could use the pci pins from the M.2 sata connector for wifi :/ |
| 15:19 | topi`> | maybe there is an adapter, but not sure if the pcie pins are even routed there |
| 15:51 | topi`> | rabeeh: why do you say "but then you need to remove the HDMI connector" for including the phoenix connector for rs485, if I look at the schematics, the rs485 connector is J5006 and looking at a Gate here it seems to be on the opposite side of the board where HDMI is |
| 15:51 | topi`> | so, HDMI is "east" of the Heatsink and J5006 is "west" of heatsink |
| 15:56 | topi`> | I took a photo of my board: http://kaverit.org/%7etopi/IMG_1305.JPG |
| 15:56 | topi`> | on the left, "J5006", and it's very far away from HDMi connector |
