Well, since I have a machine at my disposal that can compile an empeg kernel in under two mins, I figure I'll ask if anyone has any particular requests on what they want in the kernel. Just reply here, along with a link to the necessary patch and info if it's a Mark 1 or 2.

Kit's clock overlay patch patch would be nice.

I hate having to explain why there is no clock on this expensive toy.

Thanks!

This kernel has Voladj, the IR code from Frank to work with DisplayServer and custom remotes, and the clock overlay.

Ok, attachment didn't work (nor did the edit, is that a problem in this fourm?), let me upload it here... There we go http://www.perilith.com/~drakino/blogger/zImage.voladj.clock.irhack.1.03.zip

Also, voladj.zip is attached. It's the binary for the people who select different settings for voladj.

And here is one that only has the clock overlay and the irhack.

There's no coffee maker or pencil sharpener either.

Between you and me, Roger, I'm just glad he didn't reveal any details of the caffeine-powered pencil sharpener project we've been working on for the past six months.

You need one of the kernels above, and you also need to install the timed program, per the instructions here. Everytime you upgrade, it will wipe out at least your custom init that starts things like the clock and DisplayServer.

I appreciate all the work you guys did but after seeing the extra stuff involved to set this up, no thanks. I don't have the skills or time to attemp this for a clock on the info screen though it would've been nice...I'll wait until v1.1 Thanks anyways - J

I plead to you, Never put a clock on the empeg! Next thing you know the Timex junkies will be strapping their Empegs to all sorts of things oscillating. Just to see if it can take a licking and keep on ticking.

But seriously, I've got one of those billion plus VCR's that is eternally set to 12:00. Not because I don't know how, but because the setting procedure is such a pain in the a--.

On the empeg right now it is very simple. Down, Left, Left, Down, Down, twist knob for hours, Left, twist knob for minutes, press in knob.

Same thing for the date basically.

One think I am hoping 1.1 has as an option is to sync your PC's time to your empeg. That will make it even easier.

Personally, I want some sort of clock on the screen since the Mark 2 has a real time clock. Since my old radio had one in the dash, I got used to it, and even though I wear a watch, I was still looking to the dash first. (Just like how I look to the corner of my screen now). Luckily Kit came up with a nice hack to get a clock on screen, so those of us who wanted this functionality have it now, without being beta testers for empeg. And having a real time clock also introduces all kinds of other possibilities. I'm hoping one day that if I work an 8-5 shift and have to worry about traffic, my empeg will wake up in the morning and record the traffic report for playback once I get in the car.

I've noticed mine got ahead a few seconds over the past 3 weeks or so. Not too bad for a device like this. Plus much cheaper then an atomic clock. Besides, those atomic clocks loose a second every 5 billion years and they can't play music .

This kernel has Voladj, the IR code from Frank to work with DisplayServer and custom remotes, and the clock overlay.

You left out the pencil sharpener and the coffee maker.




(PS: My standard kernel is Voladj+Irhack-for-displayserver, got one of those on the shelf?)

(PPS: Is this 1.03-final sources you're working from?)

For some reason empeg_coffee.h was missing, so the .c file didn't compile right. I just decided to rip it out for now, since my personal preference is other types of hot drinks.

If you really want just an Voladj and IRHack, I can do that, but the clock overlay code does nothing unless you install the binary Kit made. It defaults to off for the overlay on boot, and simply waits for the IOCTL to tell it to overlay and display text.

And yes, I am using the final 1.03 kernel code. (The last patch I applied was RC1, that turned into final).

Hmm, the web link to perilith.com isn't working for me. Note that the reason your attachments didn't work is probably because they're over 100k...

Oh, just realised perilith.com is not resolving. It's a friends domain, let me see what other domains on that machine work.

I have more respect for VCR clock designers now. Not much, but more.

PS "Do you really twist Rob's knob for hours?"

Well, it's much easier to do it while looking at the empeg. Down to bring up the menu like normal, left twice to get to settings, down to select it, then down again to select "Set Time".

PS "Do you really twist Rob's knob for hours?"

Usually only when Rob's knob slips due to the shaft being too warm

The clock/vol/irhack version seems to be working great for me now.

Is there a chance you could set up a specific page for hosting those files? I'd like to link it in the readme for my updated picker/voladj file.

It would be cool if we could have a page somewhere that collects all this kind of thing together. Something easy to find and being just as Rio car related as empeg related so that everyone that will soon be joining us in the world of empeging can get all the cool toys like logo editor, displayserver, custom kernals etc.

i would volunter but my web page writing skills suck big style but i might try and learn.

I'll look into setting up an area off the empeg logo site. This may take me a bit of time, as I am moving this weekend. But at the latest it should be there by the end of next week.
