Re: upside down joggler

Nice job
are you using the mount to actaulty hold the bar/stand rather than case of the unit itself ?
i've been looking for a sat nav type mount for mine and either they are not wide enough to hold the unit or obstruct the power/audio/USB ports

Re: upside down joggler

thought number 3
just remove the integral stand as that’s really what’s causing me the mounting issues.
could replace it with internal patch antennas from an old laptop screen (i guess this should be in the hardware forum now. lol )

Re: upside down joggler

another option may be to rehouse the guts of the joggler in a different case and lose the stand completely.
will try the software method first tho
the geek in me kinda likes the idea of it initially booting upside down :-)

Re: upside down joggler

interesting idea
it would get around the boot logo being upside down before it hit the configuration file too.
worth investigation


cheers

Re: upside down joggler

Thanks i'll give that a go.

going to be moving away from dedicated Squeeze OS anyway to squeezplay running on Linux, as i want to try making the Joggler also a Mythtv Frontend. So this might be more easily doable that i first imagined

upside down joggler

slightly wierd request

I'm running a Joggler with Squeezeplay OS
I want to mount it under a cabinet in the kitchen and rather than building a hanging shelf to put it on the easiest way would be to flip it and attach it upside down

Is there a way to flip the screen in software ?


regards

Bootable USB sticks/Cards

Been trying to get my Joggler booting off a USB stick and went through a few before i got something that worked. Are they all this hit and miss, is this a common problem or have i got a "picky" joggler ? this is what wouldn't work for me 4.1GB Undbranded low profile stick off ebay 8GB Lexa...
