Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

Just had a look at your set up, I like it although know very little about car audio. The Taiishan Dac looks the business and quite cheap too, thanks for sharing :-) Thank you and yes,for £30 each they do a respectable job of DACing.The only downside is the high noise floor,but this is only audible ...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

Is your flirc issue solved? No idea if this is relevant: "Important: Please note that I always compile kernels for the Joggler with an 80°C thermal trip point. If you are unhappy with this, you need to add thermal.psv=70 to the grub.cfg file before booting. This is within official tolerance of...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

It's not easy as just going out and buying an Openpeak motherboard when I never see any for sale.The intelligent USB power supply might be just what I'm looking for though,is this the one I need? It was / can still be. Here noticed for a bit there were many Openpeaks being sold as Jogglers there in...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

Yeah but what's the difference when they're all listed as Openpeak/02 Jogglers?

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

Yup; you don't need to add an Arduino to the mix. A while ago played with a Pogoplug / Mimo monitor and it worked just fine. This is a smaller footprint than the Joggler and could work in your setup providing you with digital outputs and a basic touchscreen interface. I am doing this today with an ...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

I wondered whether you might try using an Arduino or similar to monitor the switching off side of things. Someone else will know whether it is possible for the Arduino to send a shutdown command to the joggler and then wait for some indication that this has occurred (eg no power on USB out of Joggl...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

All I ever seem to see on sale over here are those that have the exact same stickers on that the two I've already got have on them. I have the car's permanent live 12 volt feed (fused at 20 Amps and spread over 2 wires into the car's standard ISO connector) controlled by a couple of latching relays ...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

The Openpeak was designed different than the Joggler. I have played with no heatsink on the CPU and it's worked for a couple of hours just fine. That said the Openpeak has a metal fitted heatsink almost as large as the motherboard making the CPU work a bit better. Putting the Joggler in a DIN mount...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

You don't say why I should get one? Everyone else says these are so 'resilient',so there should be no need?

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

So I'm trying this.A new external USB socket powered directly from the power wires onto the main board of the Joggler,so definitely no voltage drop by the time it's powered all those things plugged into the hub.Also as shown I'm using one of the many other USB ports built into these units...... Do ...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

Ok,lets look at this another way.The Joggler when in the car is powered by a home made 5 volt regulated power supply.It is rated at 5 Amps continuous,and as the Joggler only draws just over 1 Amp when working,this should be more than adequate.But.......it's difficult to get to the board the regulato...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

Went looking on Ebay for a DIN mounted HU with some stuff on it and found one for around $100 USD. Just a couple of years ago these were $300 USD. I noticed a bunch of CE or Android based HU's. I have modded tablets and put CE or LInux on them and they run fine. DIN.jpg The Joggler does look nicer ...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

Just had a look at your Flickr, very nice set up you have there, love Stonehenge ones too :-) . Hope you get there on this set up . So is the flirc thingy your main issue you have at the moment or others? Could the device itself be dodgy? the flirc that is . My issues were os stability and failure ...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

Yup; here I installed some 12mAH battery; which was too big. I would not pursue this any further. Read some on MP3Car dot com about a similar adventure. I have an Openpeak 2 board in front of me. It has a battery and a mini PCIE slot. Buy one of these and take it apart. You can add an SD for bootin...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

You can install a tank battery circuit. http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/attachments/power-supplies/1134d1073243651-battery-based-tank-circuit-tested-laptop-tank.jpg And add a second battery to your automobile. I did this with my first car PC's. Then you would add a USB controlled circuit for a nice...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

The main issue here I am sure is the powering off and on of the operating system constantly : I tried running Xbmc OS and another time Linux Mint booting straight in to xbmc off an external Hdd in my van : but had similar issues to yourself and "rested the project for a while " out of fru...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

I haven't had the chance to try this yet.Don't forget though that the difference exists between two identical Jogglers,both with the same external part number and both with the same internal mother board part number. Yes - bizarre. But 1.09 is worth a try. Ok,it's all back in the car now so will gi...

Re: Strange Flirc behaviour

All I need and want is a music player that plays music,it doesn't have to do anything else. Yup the SB player just boots into Squeezeplayer; nothing else. You don't know it has a meaty OS. fully automatic wake up/go to sleep with the ignition key just like a 'proper' car head unit does every time I...
