General discussion / Re: Hacker Camp Shenzhen April 2014 Participants thread
I basically came out of the door from the immigration place and waited with a massive crowd till realizing I needed to go across the bridge. Helps to read the notes on the page. Then got to the other side and found a car.

There were a whole lot of people standing around seeming to be doing nothing. which I initially thought was a queue waiting, but they seemed to just be standing there.

Ive had no luck with wifi in the room, but there is an ethernet port and luckilly I bought a USB ethernet adapter so I have connectivity on the notebook at least.

Getting close now.

Ive booked into the city inn, but I cant seem to find its address in chinese on expedia to print out to show anyone.

Im arriving in HK at 6:30 am on the monday if anyone else is getting in around that time.

Also is a local sim really needed? Does roaming not work onto the networks over there very well?

General discussion / Re: VGA given 5 years to live
No new laptop has it directly onboard because the connector is so huge, but there are cheap adapters from the mini/micro displayport to VGA if you still need it.

There are still many places with VGA cables in wall to projectors etc (usually ugly 4:3 ones) that people use for powerpoint presentations etc.

I dont miss VGA, the constant auto adjusting and its inability to lock cleanly onto sub pixel rendered fonts left it a nasty relic making flickering shimmering displays.

Client software / How to measure durations?
Probably a really really stupid question, but I have just installed ols 0.9.6.1, using a buspirate to snag the data going to the transmitter on a wireless power meter sensor.

Anyway, I get the wave showing up on CH 0 using the red wire from CS, and I can right click and add cursors, but I cant see anywhere that shows me the durations between rising and falling edges, I get arrows appearing over the trace, and I can drop cursors that will give me the time from the zero origen, but I cant seem to find where to see the duration between cursors even.

Am I missing something really basic?

#twatch network LCD backpack / Larger/multiple displays?
Read in something that it had to use 4 bit mode because of pin availablility.

Is there enough left that 2 CS lines would be available for either a 4x40 display or else 2 smaller displays?
