To see why and how I have done things, check out the top page of this project: http://www.climber.nl/Project/XDA/Carkit/XDA carkit introduction.htm.
The pages don't like nice but hey!! it's my first attempt. Just couldn't wait to show it

Hi please could you give me some info on what the capators are on the shematic diagram please? what does the little bit of writting say at the side of it i cant read it because the line is going though im going to try make a working cable the same way you built yours but instead it will have audio out and mic in hopefully if i can try get it to work as far as i can make out they say 1vf is this right? sorry i havent got much schematic knowledge as im only 17 and want to make a car kit for my car with gps too so i can use tomtom to help me get around as i am learning to drive at the moment and when i pass it will help me out alot to get around the UK )
thankyou
also great work mate looks brill. I cant get hold of one of the Ipaq connectors at teh moment because the place you have on ur site has ran out of stock but i opened up my usb cable and most of the pins are missing and only 5 left so i guess i cant use that.
which one of these is suitable mate for this?

http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/module.asp?CartID=030427020133790&moduleno=24538&modulecode=
im thinking they are in the 2nd link but which one out of them are they? please could you let me know thankyou or even http://www.maplin.co.uk if they are not right please could you find them for me on here thankyou
regards Gareth
looking athe the xda connector page on here at the h/f kit bit it says 3 x 47p which i have found these.....
SF84F EMIFIL 3 Term 47pF £0.01
Features
• 1205 size 3 terminal capacitors
• Compact and thin
• High level of noise suppression
• Excellent high frequency characteristics
Applications
• EMI suppression in various electronic equipment
• EMI suppression of AC signal lines and DC power lines
• Severe EMI suppression in high impedance
circuits such as digital
That seems about right
Gareth,
Those 4F EMIFIL 3 Term 47pF £0.01 seem right.
The stuff on the other page are what we call ELCO's over here. There are not suited for this particular job.
I recall the page saying 47pF as well. The value of this capacitor determines the frequency characteristics of the decoupling 'filter' we are making here. I had a couple of 1uF 's lying around here.
Since they are cheap you might consider buying both or even a third and see what that does to the sound.
I had good results so far, but you have to keep in mind that I like to drive fast and my car gets rather noisy then :twisted:
Let me know what your results are!

Rumour has it - there is a hack available to turn the iPodTouch into an unlocked iPhone!
What the hackers fail to see is that an iPod will never make a very good phone. Anyway Palm has countered these claims stating that touch is a Palm thing and it makes good sense ; -)
I know I'm a n00b, but what the hell is the relevance of this in a WM6 forum for the Hermes?
Thread moved to off-topic. In the future, please post in the appropriate forums.
Thanks.
Lol. There's a rumour that the iPod can be turned into a phone?
Well well. So they didn't have the space and hardware to build in a 3g radio in the phone, but they threw in a whole phone just for free in the ipod? That's jolly decent of them.
Unlocked too, that's just the icing on the cake. Apple is too kind.

Possibly they would hack my Wizard so it could run WinXp with multi-touch feature.. and fire laser as well?
I think that video has something to do with this thread

I just saw the Youtube video on this. All I have to say is....
ARE YOU KIDDING???
Who could possibly be stupid enough to think that just by inserting a spring in the bottom of an ipod would magically give it the hardware and software capabilities to dial a phone number?
Hey, do you think that if I insert the spring in the bottom of my laser printer I could turn it into a 60 inch LCD with High Definition and HD DVD Player?
I swear!!! This kind of logic is taken straight out of ET The Extraterrestrial. Just clamping things together that all of the sudden, bam! A whole bunch of kitchenware tuned into an intergalacting transmitter.

WAHAHAHAHAHA!! LOL!!!
frickin laser beams... haha!
even if it's cheaper to produce 1 type of pcb and have software take care of the various models i seriously doubt apple would make ipodtouch with all the phone components inside too
heck they might use the same pcb but there is no reason they would have the smt machines add the components for the mobile which would never be used

While this guy tend to make his video as 'good' as possible with all the crap about the wire poking thing and recorded dialing tone crap.. he missed the point of where do I insert the phone SIM card. I bet there would be some stupid guy who will tell you that, you can insert a SIM card into the (say) SD card reader and poke here and there to make a phone call Example of such moron ideas --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=779184&postcount=2
Surprised this hasn't been mentioned before, My shift is running at 55-60C while idling apparently this is the norm combined with the fans constant metallic rattling isn't nice.

I’ve looked in the hdd upgrade guide and found the fan and its connector but no information is to be found on its manufacturer. The four wires seem to indicate a PWM fan can anyone confirm this ?
Second the CPU seems in the picture above has no thermal paste and the only "heatsink" present is the metal cage which explains the insane temperatures This could be replaced with a RAM heatsink with thermal paste to channel the heat towards the fan case. Another better idea would be finding a laptop CPU Cooler like the one below and placing the grill behind the shifts cpu cooler ill get some internal dimensions tomorrow
Will update soon any thoughts or suggestions post em.
sound of a cooler
Hi! When I turn my Shift,I hear an unpleasant sound of a cooler
Please help!
Thats the fan at full RPM, Ive stopped the rattling on mine by taking off the cooler and heatsink and screwing it back on (It must have come loose) . Swapping the pads for thermal paste knocked 10c off the CPU temp.
Id recommend the removing the cooler if you're getting the same rattling noise. I haven't been able to find out any info on the fan and its connector though would be great if we could find a silent replacement.
Thank`s! I would think this . If i find a solution that will write.
The fan's OEM is here but i havent been able to find a KSB series
I think that you will find that the fan is manufactured by the following company -
Delta Electronics Inc
252 Shang Ying Rd, Kuei San
Taoyuan Hsien
333
Taiwan
as I found a reference to it in their certifucation records. see following URL -
http://directories.csa-internationa...\091949_0_000-3812-01.xml&xsl=xsl/certrec.xsl
can't find anybody that supplies it retail though.
Hope this helps
Mr Frog.
Yeah thats it, All thats needed is to find a replacement which will fit in the pwm socket on the shift preferably blow vacuum cleaner level.
Looks Promising ill try to find a supplier tomorrow
Might have to use clamps instead of a connector
OK, so far in an attempt to get a better signal in my office, I have bought two different external antenna types to get a signal. I bought them as I wasn't sure what the heck the connector type is. (For those that don't know, there is an external antenna connector directly below the MicroSD slot, covered by a black sticker).
I have bought an MMCX aerial: Does not fit, connector too small
I have bought an Motorola V3i antenna as the connectors look the same: But it's too short to reach into the port on the O2X :-( I cannot find out what this connector type is however!
So... next I was going to try a CRC-9 antenna for it... but it's getting expensive lol. So.. does anyone know for SURE what the connector type is I need please?
I'd think your best bet is to take a close look at the service manual
Downloading. Its the same connector with the tapered insulator as the V3i and the TG01. I just can't find the name of the connector to get something that will fit it!
Right, after looking at the manual, I believe it to be an MS-156 series connector of some description (It's listed at MS-156C). (see page 239 in the service manual). See here for a description: h t t p://www.digikey.com/Web%20Export/Supplier%20Content/Hirose_26/PDF/hirose-MS156C07018W.pdf?redirected=1
It's likely just a test connector, but if I can use it for an external antenna like on the V3i, that would be fantastic.
EDIT: here is a very good reference: h t t p://www.hirose.co.jp/cataloge_hp/e35801678.pdf
The adaptors are massive though as it's intended as a test terminal, which is odd that they made an official external aerial for the Moto V3i with this connector in that case.
The most readily available adaptor is at least £24 euro's from a spanish website. What I might do is order a CRC9 connector, and see if I can file down the ends, to expose the centre wire and get that to fit.
this was really interesting to read (as i'm thinking about doing the same thing)
hope you find a good solution!
I get paid soon, so I'll order the CRC9 pigtail as an experiment to see if I can get it to fit. £24 (Plus whatever they want to deliver to the UK) is a lot to pay for a tiny cable, so if I can find a much cheaper method I'll give it a go
Once I found out the connector was MS-156, you can see loads of posts on different forums of people who have gone through exactly the same process as me lol. Annoyingly, they never update their posts to say what happened

Oh just caught your "O2X - Sold" sig
I hate dongles. There, I said it. I. Hate. Dongles.
With the OTG capabilities and the enormous (relatively) storage capability of SD cards these days, it seemed that using a dongle with the N7 was inevitable. So I took the plunge and got one. But what to do about strain relief and <sigh> that damned floppy dongle getting in my way all the time?
I added Velcro strips to the case and to the dongle in order to keep it in place and out of my way when I was using it. Two wide strips on the back of the case, and one on the front provide more than adequate anchoring so that the N7 can sit on my desk in landscape mode AND hold the dongle in place and out of the way without a problem. It also keeps the mini USB socket from sustaining any damage from the dongle flopping around.
Here's the photos of what I did and I'm very satisfied with the end result.

As long as it works for you admittedly otg cables and dongles are not very handy things, I'm sure someone could come up with an all in one solution that matches the base line of the tablet and looks like a short extension of it.
No luck yet but im hopeful
I have send email and a small drawing to a hand full of connector design companies . Asking them about a ribbon like micro usb connector something that would be very slim low profile.. IF i get someone willing to make them . i will start a thread asking for those wanting a low profile usb otg to buy into getting the minimum made. Its like to be about 300 connectors at 25 cents to 1.00 each... There is a unlimited use for such a plug for this and other devices ..
Just thought i would add it as i see the stressful post .. I have a similar thing for my nexus Its ugly tacky and i do not like it .
Nice pics thou
I did something similar to my Poetic case last night., I just used industrial strength velcro, and less of it. Here's a few pics. I'm at work, and in a low light environment, so the pictures aren't great...

Hi,
Just been tinkering with a Pi-Top V2 and some cables/other bits and now have a Samsung DeX laptop with a 14 inch 1080P display.
Needs a few more bits before it's more polished but thought I'd post my initial project and will post updates as they occur.
More details on the Pi-Top forum where I describe what's needed to make it all work.
Ok, have added the following enhancements:
1. Dual USB-2 hub - provides 2 x USB ports at the rear where the Raspberry PI middle ports would be
2. USB-C socket - this means no wires come out of the unit - a USB-C to USB-C cable (with 4K video capability) is used to connect the unit to the smartphone
To do
1. See if I can get some speakers into the unit or use extenal pocket USB speakers
2. Alternative would be to somehow breakout the audio from the HDMI signal and feed that to an internal amp and speakers - not sure there would be room for the electronics but will take a look

This is really really great! Can't wait to see how this project develops!
Can you post a link to the pi-top forum? I would like to follow this project too
That absolutely awesome. I was just about to buy an older laptop and gut it.
Details
I have checked out the link on pi-top. You have done an amazing job and appreciate your sharing.
I really would like to build this for myself.
Can you post or send me pictures if you have any from before you threw the insulation tape on? I wanted to get a better look at the parts where you have to cut the usb cable and connect to the GPIO.
Also can you send me the names of the parts you used (part numbers) so I can purchase from Amazon. I have a list made, but want to double check since your set up currently works.
Thank you.
Subbed to this thread. I think I am going to try and do something like this!! I have a dozen or so laptops that are in various forms od not functioning that I can gut.
But that color!
I burnt the pi top screen trying to do this :crying:
