There is quite a bit of difference between a switch that can provide a digital pulse and one that can make and break a 2A circuit. Of course Wizardstan summarized it best when he explained why there is no hard switch. It goes against the nature of the design and was something people didn't...

Sure, it's perfectly safe to run without a nub. The analogs are pulled down and without a nub there just won't ever be a value read other than zero. The controller will never toggle an interrupt to the CPU as it never reads any movement.

I asked the wifi module manufacturer about this. I've never heard this noise but I don't doubt anyone who says it happens. They told me that the large capacitor that they recommended on the internal switching power supply was squealing as it switched power modes (lower frequencies) and I...

I was doing a little Youtube viewing tonight and came across a few videos of ED from Gamescom 2010. I can't understand a word but it was still neat to watch. :) I don't think these have been posted yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxhdFyhtqe8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIIwdHZ0s9g...

U13: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=296-10843-5-ND U20: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=296-21694-1-ND You'll need to remove both parts. I wouldn't be putting a new part over top of the old ones. That ESD diode could be fused...

I agree with this but I do wonder if there will end up being lots of duplicate threads here and on the OP site. I seem to recall that happening before. The problem is that if lots of people hang out here, then asking questions other forumer's could answer means you would still want to ask...

Married? :D

Well, we shouldn't turn this into a long thread going back and forth about this because we've been down this road before. FCC compliance is about keeping the world a safe place and not filling the air with unregulated signals. We spent something like 10-15 grand on CE testing which confirms...

Darn, I thought this was going to be another FCC thread. :)

I really don't see how an iPad version would be possible based on anything we've done right now. It would have to be a new design with two parts that go around the sides to provide one half of the game controls on each side. If they were joined at the back by one long case, you could sure fit...

The spacing between the PCB and the battery compartment plastic is 3mm. If I remember correctly, I think the POP stack is 1.7mm tall. The battery compartment plastic is 1mm thick but I don't think a direct thermal connection to the battery from the CPU is a good idea.

Great, thanks! This means I haven't missed it yet. It will probably be another month before #136 gets to Canada but at least I can keep looking for it. :)

I went to the book store last night to try and get a copy of this but they were already on to the August issue which is #134. Are you sure you didn't mean to say issue 133? http://linuxformat.co.uk/archives?issue=133 Actually, I'm not sure why I assumed it was the July one, but Sept. is issue...

Oh no, it is a standard 3.5mm jack with the extra fourth pin. If you plug in a normal 3-pin jack, then the fourth one just gets grounded because the missing ring is replaced by a longer ground ring. That fourth pin is the microphone input so it is safe to ground it when not needed. Line...

I agree and if Fatih would have kept on them about only painting where they were supposed to instead of slathering it on like a '69 Charger restoration project, it would have been fine. I have three painted case samples and they all went together beautifully. No bowing. No cracking. No noisy...

They've promised not to paint the edges anymore and say they can control where it goes. The design doesn't need changing. We had it right already. We just can't seem to get anyone to manufacture anything in quantity the same way it seems.

Okay, that makes way more sense. You definitely don't want to be stuck with a button that doesn't work. As for the proprietary jack thing, if a standard 3-pin headphone jack works fine, then that is all that can be expected. I wouldn't put it past the phone companies to reverse the pinout on...

I'm all up in double entendre's business ;)

Patronizing topic is patronizing

So I was reading this thread before it got the other one merged in and I came across this post. You actually RMA's your unit because you plugged in some proprietary jack and it didn't work? Unbelievable. Everyone, be sure to think of this type of RMA when you decide that customers are...
