樹林大同山登山步道

從樹林車站步行出發去

今天難得有興致, 約am11點出門, 下午3:45到板橋; 風景讓我跌破眼睛. 以後可以多多去這條步道走走. 我基本上是照著 http://blog.xuite.net/criticallogic/hiking/27677087 走的, 我最喜歡的是櫻花林步道.太久沒走了, 走到我腳酸死了, 後來把時間加長ㄅㄟ...到處晃晃, 還好有帶食物上去, 要不可慘囉...

XBOX 360 messenger Kit

I bought a Messenger Kit today. It's a really cool accessory. I like its shape but dislike its connector.

As you see such a monopolized freak again. Neither pure functionality for 2.5mm headset connector nor power connector purpose. Anyway...I just like this small and nice keyboard. For some reasons, I tried to find any software related to this Xbox, then yes. There's one great site called Xbox-Linux. The Xbox Linux Project aims to provide a version of GNU/Linux for the Xbox, so that it can be used as an ordinary computer. Linux should make use of all Xbox hardware and allow the user to install and run software from standard i386 Linux distributions.

Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient device(PPTC, Resettable Fuse)

PPTC can protect against overcurrent faults in your circuit. So my question is how we can choose a PPTC device? What circuit's parameters in my design needed to determine first? And how to use those parameters to map manufacturer's catalogs. So there's a title of "Selection steps from the Catalog" which can be found in Fundamentals of PolySwitch Overcurrent and Overtemperature Devices. If you want to use PPTC in your USB circuit design, you can see "PTC Overcurrent Protection for Universal Serial Bus Circuit Designs" or "Meeting USB Overcurrent Protection Requirements" for help.

Vendor Ref.:

1, Hansor Polymer Technology Corp.

2, FUZETEC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. 

Stop Software Patents Petition

As title shown, what the hell is going? Why one group growing up aims to vow to stop software patents as petition which can be proposed around in Europe? And why not in Asia and America? Does this question is fantastic talk or unreality? Watching the link of title, you will get all the answers. But I have a question? Why does this world need close and open groups together? They cant face each side as well. Why? For better benefit? or really for good innovation created better? ACTUALLY I DON'T KNOW. Like my east3yrswest3yrs, I only want to say that east equals west, on the contrary; west still equals east. If you desire to have that benefit. As they have belonged to or monopolized by someones already, or you would just not have proposed expectably something to against.

Comparisons on special module implemented between KiCad and others layout tool

These days I am little bit pissing myself off to learn KiCad that loving it but hardly to me on linux side. In order to overcome my poor linux skill, i must use my linux laptop everyday. Not only basic also electronic engineering requirements. We are using a two circle rings as button function in KiCad, but there still have some problems. I'd like to fix it but i cant at this moment from ability. So only need spend more time on KiCad field. The followings are just posted on Qi wiki first.

• Comparisons between RC1 and RC2

S50 key btn on RC1 board

avt2 RC1 S50 key

The following pictures are gerbers in different stacking layers

Comparisons on avt2 RC1 and RC2

avt2 RC1 S50 Copper/Text	avt2 RC2 S50 Copper/Text
avt2 RC1 S50 Copper/Mask	avt2 RC2 S50 Copper/Mask
avt2 RC1 S50 Copper/Mask/Solder	avt2 RC2 S50 Copper/Mask/Solder
avt2 RC1 S50 Copper/Drill	avt2 RC2 S50 Copper/Drill

• Problem 1

The rc2 mask and solder layer are not circle as same as rc1, if this is the KiCad's limit, then we need to think other way to solve this. Since the metal domn must not contact with copper well when user push buttons due to contact area is too small.

• Problem 2

The copper layer (GND) is connected to S50's outside ring (short condition).

The above is the problems now I meet, hope they can be fixed later.

How to install & build KiCad 2009-02-16 on Ubuntu 9.10

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)

• sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake doxygen subversion libglut3 libglut3-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev libboost-dev libwxbase2.8-0 libwxbase2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev
• wget http://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/cao/kicad-sources-2009-02-16.tar.gz
• tar zxvf kicad-sources-2009-02-16.tar.gz
• cd kicad-2009-02-16
• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake ..
• make -j16
• sudo make install

now you can type 'kicad' in your terminal, also [applications] -> [programming] in gnome panel. to remove the kicad you can run "sudo make uninstall" under the build folder

Links

http://kicad.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Before doing install, remember to uninstall previous KiCad version firstly.

sudo apt-get remove kicad

This is posted that I wanted to upgrade my linux 9.04 to 9.10. Then install new version of KiCad 2009-02-16 version. And Xiangfu he knows more Linux knowledge than me, so I asked him to help me that how i can do this. Thanks for Xiangfu's post.

How to share folder & files in linux and access from Windows

I need to share my linux folder & files then can access them from another intranet windows laptop. You can cd upper level of your folders what you want to share. Then

chmod 777 -R "FOLDERNAME"

"-R"  is to change files and directories recursively. So now you have the right to access on windows laptop.

Taipei 101

Taipei 101, where I went to its observatory to walk around. For me, even living in Taipei for couple years. Still not frequently come to here. Today I was fretting my heart where I should go on my happy Sunday. So just went to eastern division of Taipei city. Actually there's no target this time...just walked around then ....came to Taipei 101. No doubt. Went insdie there to see what else I can see today...I like its 4F.

Especially the facility of PageOne which is a nice bookstore with all kinds of books in english. I've never seen bookstore like this best before in Taiwan. It's different style from Elite. And next time I should let myself hungry more and eat great food at 4F here. I found actually they are not expensive as I thought before. But remember that making a reservation before coming here. The most let me felt interested was the Super Big Wind Damper.

You can check and see a real "Wind Damper Functioning Film" under http://www.taipei-101.com.tw/en/DB/damper.asp. It's amazing that a Krosa Typhoon hit Taiwan. That's a scene shot at the 89F observation deck of TAIPEI 101.

For Taiwan, Helping Haiti Offers Rare Moment on World Stage

After read this article, I am proud of being a Taiwanese. As they said that "My goal has been to make Taiwan a country respected by the international community," said Ma in his Jan. 20 remarks. "We don't want to be accused of using 'dollar diplomacy.'"

Viewing Schematic about XC6SLX45 Spartan-6 FPGA

hihi, i am viewing that an open schematic from here. So I sent a feedback on their schematics. Those pages have viewed about Audio/Ethernet/Misc./IR pages of its schematics. If you are a designer who wants to learn more on XC6SLX45 Spartan-6 FPGA, this site is designed and hosted by a French guy. May help you a lot of info on fpga techs. Also you can check here I contributed for more details.

KiCad Automatic Insertion File

In order to meet SMT vendor side about AI machine. During build module must let module attributes to be Normal+Insert. This indicates that the module must appear in the automatic insertion file (for automatic insertion machines). This attribute is most useful for surface mount components (SMDs). So every module must set this attribute.
