OP's battery is actually 20Ah at 3.7v, not 5v, if you scroll WAY down. That's 74Wh, or 15.4% the capacity of the car battery. I think the average car battery is like 35 pounds, and considering that lithium cells tend to have something like 6x the power to weight of lead acid.. With all these...

Don't think about 3D for now, and don't bother with sprite drawing for a while. If you want to start programming, think baby steps. If you want to go with Python, a first project might be to use Python/PyGame to move a square around based on keyboard inputs. Then a pong clone. Then a simple...

I'll recommend this one if you're planning on using it while driving: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.18532 Best audio quality I've heard, compared to a LOT of other ones I've heard. A few friends have bought it to replace theirs after listening to it. About as good as the signal from...

Out of curiosity, if some program does something like flash all the leds, how/when do they go back to correctly displaying power/wifi/whatever they were supposed to show?

Yeah Dunny, give them another email. I sent an email a week or two ago, never got a response, sent an email a few days ago and got a reply within 1-2 days.

To add to what JayFoxRox said, no microcontrollers that I know of are actually flashed over the serial connection. If serial is used, there's usually a bootloader running on the micro and writing the data it receives to its flash memory. Programming the chips directly is done through a different...

Most lithium batteries are used from around 4.2 volts fully charged, to around 3.0 volts discharged. 3.7 volts is the nominal voltage. Those voltages are determined by the hardware, and sometimes software, depending on the device, following the battery manufacturers recommendations. I think I...

Hmm. An equivalent lithium battery pack plus a 5v switching regulator from china would be about $83 EMS'd to the US. While those are good cells that would actually deliver the rated capacity, that's without a built-in charger, a case, or even undervoltage protection for the cells. I'd have to...

The plastic piece that craigix and the OP team want to pop out of the mould has been finished for months, the actual mould has definitely not.

Unless something prevents this, having a cradle for the Pandora on the dash and a connection from the Pandora headphone jack to an aux input is the best solution. Not to mention a USB GPS stick and map software. Any solution that makes the actual car stereo handle song indexing, selection...

Fairlawn here, but Akron is just down the street, close enough. That makes eight.

Hey, cool, a few other people from Ohio. Poem58, you're right on the other side of Akron. Also a few of you are listed quite a few times lol. Could someone add me to 'Fairlawn Ohio', on the Summit Mall(which should be right in the middle of the screen)?

Uhg, don't ruin one of the 4000 pandoras in theoretical existence so that you can have a 4.3' or whatever screen in your dash. Get an original EEE netbook with a 7' screen and a touchscreen kit for it- should cost less than $300, and there are a lot of projects that have used it for this and...

If the serial ports in the ext connector work like normal com ports in linux, it shouldn't be a problem, especially if you use a board like the Sparkfun mini board. Their 8mhz board will be fine with the 2.8 volt supply and signals, especially if you don't need to program it(which should be fine...

Hey, I'd just like to say I'm in the same boat as you.. but I haven't emailed them back since Oct 15, when Jacquelyn said she'd email us when credit card ordering is available again.. I figure they won't forget about us, and will send us emails for reordering some time soon, along with the other...

No. Why would you look on the Pandora forums for Pandora news? erm

You knew in advance that sortableturnip would cancel his preorder? Maybe you've found yourself a new profession. I ought to cancel right now to ensure your predicktion is correct. Those paypal n00bsh!!!1!!!1!

I'm in the same boat because I didn't see the paypal refund email for a few days(I accidentally put it in the wrong folder before reading it or something like that). Hopefully the order link will be put up again. As I said in my other post- I'm sure everything will work out fine but I don't...
