I placed and order and sent my files over April 6th, it was submitted to the factory April 7th and they have not shipped it yet. Just wondering if this usually happens or if anyone else has run into a similar issue? Is there a holiday going on?
Everything else I've read usually has them shipping the boards within a week. :(
I've got a busted macbook pro that i'm going to salvage the magsafe connector off of. I'd like to re-use the connector for a different project.
Pins 1 and 5: GND Pins 2 and 4: V+ Pin 3: Charge Control
There is a bi-color (red/green) LED on the connector end that indicates charge status (red Charging/green Full), I'm guessing this is a signal that comes from some battery managment IC on the motherboard. I haven't done any inspection on the motherboard yet - I'm hoping someone here might know what kind of signal needs to be fed into that pin to regulate charge control.
Thanks

The tiny center pin is a Charge Control pin that assists with changing the LED color, and also assists with switching the adapter off. No power will be outputted from any of the other ports until contact is made with the center Charge Control pin. This pin is also used to transfer additional Information like the powertype and serialnumber of the powersupply.
Interesting...OK, so which battery managment IC can do data over a single wire? Maxim...TI? *goes to look*
I cant get my IR Toy to transmit successfully to my XBOX 360. I can record the button presses OK, but transmit never works. I've tried a couple different pre-made configs also to no avail.
i'm using LIRC patched for IR Toy on Linux. I'm wondering if there is a different protocol the remote is using or something? Some "gotcha" I'm missing?
Wondering if anyone out there can try to beam some commands to a 360 and let me know?
just got my IR toy and it works pretty good up close, but I can't turn the TV across the room on. Whats the average distance I should be able to hit? I was planning on using it for entertainment center automation so hope I could hit 20 feet or so away... Thanks.
