ami1 237 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 Capacitive screens have a problem with not being able to calibrate themselves if power supplies are not correctly grounded. These screens calibrate a few times a second - to take care of humidity etc which varies capacitance of your finger and atmosphere. Found out when i was having this problem in Palm Pre screen acting funny on being connected to a low quality charger. Sometimes this also indicates that the touch sensor is going to conk off soon - which happened to my Pre. Usually the reason for touch sensor conking off is pushing/pressing too hard while applying screen guards multiple times. I had applied screen guard 4-5 times since i wasn't getting correct size and pressed on the screen too obsessively to get all bubbles out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raccoon 53 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 Grounded? But when did phone chargers even have a ground pin/wire? All those I have seen have only 2 pins. Third pin, if existing is a dummy. Are you sure pressure can affect the touch sensor? Then what about so many people carrying their capacitive screen phones in tight jean/trouser pockets? Isn't it possible that this also adversely affects the screen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you sure pressure can affect the touch sensor? Then what about so many people carrying their capacitive screen phones in tight jean/trouser pockets? Isn't it possible that this also adversely affects the screen? Though there's no ground pin, once ac is converted to dc 5v etc there will be a wire with zero voltage (which will actually be near zero in practice - closer to zero for good brands maybe and maybe not for cheaper brands) This somehow affects the capacitive touchscreens. No heans etc pressure is very less. I would press with my thumb to get any minute bubbles out of the screen guards and after doing it many times the problem happened. Both things happen to some people as per various forums i found. But nothing to be worried about - was just cautioning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That could happen only if there is leakage and the circuit can be completed thru your body. Grounded? But when did phone chargers even have a ground pin/wire? All those I have seen have only 2 pins.

sougatadc 358 Report post Posted April 7, 2011 ^ Quite innovative product. But going through the specifications, a confusion cropped up in my mind about the backup capacity. It has been written in their website that it has got a Li-ion Battery of 3.7V, 600mAh, it takes USB Input of 5V, 500mA and can give USB Output of 5V, 300mA (both 4GB and 8GB models). Is the charging capacity is only 300mA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 817 Report post Posted April 7, 2011 ^^^ even i got to know it... most devices may not charge only how can us expect to charge 1500m with 300 one - it can give you talk time when plugged in and can be used as a additional battery that's all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted April 10, 2011 Meet IOIO - I/O for Android SparkFun intros IOIO for Android, a hack-free breakout box to get your mind spinning IOIO (pronounced: yo-yo) is a product which lets you connect electronic circuits to an Android device and control them from an Android application. It is comprised of a small (2.7x1.2" = 7x3cm) PCB that connects to an Android device with a USB cable and a software library (Java .jar file) that you use in your Android app which handles all communications with the board. No firmware programming is required - only Android application authoring with a very simple API (see examples below) for controlling the pins on the board. No modification of the Android device is required - you avoid the complication of modification and the voiding of warranty. IOIO is available for backorder online from SparkFun on this page. The first few boards will ship within a couple of weeks. Around that time, the entire software and hardware are going to be 100% open-source with a permissive license. Main features: 48 total I/O pins - all of which can function as digital inputs and outputs. Up to 16 analog inputs (10-bit). Up to 9 PWM outputs. Up to 4 UART channels. Up to 3 SPI channels. Up to 3 TWI (I²C-compatible) channels. On-board switch-mode regulator providing up to 1.5A of 5V supply. Can charge the Android device as well as power a couple of small motors. Bootloader on the board pulls firmware off phone, enabling OTA firmware upgrades and application-specific firmware. Pulse-width measurement, capacitance sensing and more (will be pushed with first OTA firmware upgrade). Example Projects THE RETROID VIDEO The Retroid is a retro-designed alarm clock hacked to be controlled by an Android phone. Once connected, the phone's alarm, incoming call and incoming text message notifications appear as different ring and LED patterns on the clock. THE VISUAL CHARGER The Visual Charger is another take on a cool docking station for your phone. It charges your phone while presenting charge level percentage (0-9 or "F" for full) on a large 7-segment LED display. It also uses the dot on the display to signal for pending notifications (e.g. missed calls, unread text messages, etc.). WALL PRINTER VIDEO The Wall Printer is inspired by old-school pin printers. It has 7 markers in a row, each individually controlled by a servo such that it can go up (not paint) or down (paint). When you manually slide it over a wall, the servo motions are carefully timed to produce text messages. These can include manually entered text, SMS messages, GPS coordinates and more. The project is not yet complete, and the video above just demonstrates a simple pattern from an early experiment. I'll post an update once there is progress. Why? Android phones are powerful mobile computers having internet connectivity and a rich variety of built-in sensors (camera, GPS, IMU, touch screen). They are also very easy to write applications for, thanks to the great work done by the Android SDK developers. For many applications, all they are really missing is connectivity to external peripherals. This is exactly where IOIO fits in: it enriches the inherent capabilities of the Android device with the ability to communicate with external circuits. From a study of existing solutions, they all suffered from one or more of the below: High cost. Complicated. Especially so for complete beginners. High latency. Low bandwidth. Required replacement of the Android device OS. Large physical size. IOIO does not suffer from any of the above. Its cost (~$50 from SparkFun) is competitive with existing solutions, dead-simple to use, ~3ms one-way latency, ~300KB/sec throughput, works with stock OS, small in size.
