UFE is an SD/MMC floppy drive emulator for old computers. It connects to the floppy drive port of the host computer and behaves like a real floppy drive, except that the data comes from the SD/MMC card instead of real media. It is the successor to TFE, the previous floppy emulator project.

SmartQ V5 - upgrade to Android 2.1

And then I upgraded my SmartQ V5 to Android 2.1 preview. It looks better, it was easier to change into English language, and touch screen response is much improved. Update: WiFi works great at home (my WLAN is secured with WPA), but it didn't work as good at an unsecured (open) WLAN, it kept dropping the connection all the time.

SmartQ V5 - upgrade to V5 Android V3.0

I upgraded Android on my SmartQ V5 to "V5 Android V3.0". After the upgrade, the language was Chinese again. To fix, start settings (press the menu (middle) button once, then select the icon to the right), scroll to the bottom of the list, then select the second-lowest (second last) item, on the next menu, select the first (upper) item, then select the language you want. Phew. Well, the "about phone" still says that it is Android 1.6 with kernel 2.6.29 on it after the upgrade.

TEMPer - USB Digital Thermometer Dongle

Tuesday, January 05 2010 @ 18:13 CET

The TEMPer is a low cost temperature probe. The deice consists of a usb-serial chip (WinChipHead, a 24xx02 serial EEPROM LM75 temperature sensor CH341) and a LED (the LED is connected to the thermostat output of the LM75). While the software that comes with the device is only for Windows, other solutions do exist. The first one I found was from Tollef Fog Heen's blog, then from Levien van Zon, and finally Stefan Boethke's TEMPer wiki page. The last one works nicely on FreeBSD 8.0-stable, using the uchcom(4) driver.
