Hi all, I just discovered something by chance and I thougt to share it with you all. Not to down rate your comment. Others: Go read it But I have a 600MHz EEEPC with a version based from 528 on it and Seamonkey installed. It plays videos from youtube perfectly well. It is the "graphics card&qu...

No need to be overwhelmed Bear. The opening question answered in a brief manner will do. :wink: I will second the "don't get overwhelmed" and add a few points: 1) We like new users and will try hard to get you up and going. It is just the way we are. Puppy was designed from the start for ...

If would be very nice if they published the source code so that folks could take it and remove the bugs to produce a good package that works for nearly everyone.
What I expect is not that.

Unless the chinese plan to change their attitude towars animal welfare and consumption then it will only be a matter of time before another contagion is let loose on the world.

As my final Pro Tip™ , I usually just open the ISO file of the desired puppy OS and copy the needed puppy files into the aforementioned folders, rather than running a install wizard. Typically the ".sfs" files, the "initrd.gz" file, and the "vmlinuz" file. Why do that ...

a thing someone was telling me had happened to them Frightening for sure. Apple stuff is like that also. Any service that will "connect" all of one's devices and stores data on a cloud server has the potential to do this. It appears that Microsoft is going the same direction with their &q...

So does this all mean that with Grub4Dos, I could have an array of 10 of these: https://youtu.be/IlnskJj6LRs and boot puppy 421 from it? BTW: I just tried the thing of putting puppy in a subdirectory on an SD card and getting Grub4Dos to configure it. I am looking at this as a way to have multiple p...

The battle of the Windows zombies vs Linux nerdies is as old as Good vs Evil. You can not expect more, this social media users are raise to think that way. But hold on... Every year the same users can not wait to have in their hand on the latest I-Phone or Android. Just to try to find out where the...

You could scan (or take a high-res picture of) a schematic, then, if necessary, use mtPaint to crop the picture and/or reduce its resolution to the minimum that still shows all the details. I use mtPaint to do that all the time. Editing I will start on the left to explain: I1 and the big chain of d...

Moose, if it's any help, I'm pretty sure that the output voltage of a solar panel (at its maximum power point) doesn't vary by much between when it begins to put out usable power in the morning and when the sun is directly overhead at noon. The point of maximum power should vary very little with th...

Awesome, thanks Moose. Nominal MPP of the panel is 17 volts more or less (some variation between panels but that's a good value to begin with). My battery banks use 12v lead acid batts with one array of 24v made up of the same 12v batteries in series. Max charging voltage approx 14.4v per battery (...

Yep, still here and still keen to get max power out of my panels . Today I work. Tomorrow I am off so I will take a run at it then What is the nominal voltage of the panel? What is the nominal voltage of the battery? Initially, I won't include any "charge controller" section. I will use w...

Despite all those failings, that simple circuit succeeds in putting far more power into a useful load than the solar panel by itself was able to. And he does mention that it might need an inductor if the load isn't inductive. Also, I think the hysteresis provided by the feedback resistor provides a...

That's OK, I did it for you

The pot needs to be adjusted from light level, temperature and load.

The switching of the PMOSFET is slow leading to losses.

It uses the inductance of the motor as its working inductor.

It didn't use even one 555 timer chip

Just as a bit of a gag, a while back I made a "seven segment display" thing that ran in a terminal. Should I see if I can find it?

In the area of how much RAM I made a change in my own personal version of 528 to make it work on my EEEPC-701. The init now has: # Making required RAM size greater than 512K needed for copy # This is for a test # [ "$COPYCONTENDER" = "yes" ] && [ $RAMSIZE -gt 220000 ] &am...

Greengeek, here 's a YouTube video that explains the need to run solar panels at their maximum power point and also a cheap circuit to do it. That circuit is extremely crude. The ideas explained are good but not complete. Watch the video for the ideas and not the design. If anyone cares enough we c...
