The higher secondary technical school (HTBL Lastenstraße) was holding an open house day and our youngsters demonstrated their almost ready NG-UAVP.
Just a short update for the POV Mobii tablet. Paul just released a new ROM for the Advent Vega device… you know.
You can download it from here.
And…. If you would like to show your appreciation for the ROM, please consider supporting MoDaCo by signing up for a MoDaCo Ad Free or MoDaCo Plus account.
A few days ago I got a shiny new Point of View Mobii Tegra 2 drive tablet.
The POV Mobii is equipped with :
– So far so good.
But…, there is no android market installed, … for now 🙂 and the USB host mode is set to master.
So what can you do…..
After googling around and with the help of some hardware debugging I found out that the used hardware seems to more or less the reference design for the Tegra hardware which is also used in some other products.
One of this is Products is the Vega ADVENT Tablet. The OS used with this tablet supports USB host slave mode .
The first thing you have to do is to download the image for the Vega and flash you Mobii. (I’m using versoin 1.08).
After bootup you will have a MobiiVega-hybrid :-). You will also notice that the Vega OS is a bit faster then the POV version.
The next step is to upload a special ROM addon called the MoDaCo ROM addon. You can download it from here. If you have problems installing the addon on your 1.08 image you can also download the 1.06.05
Upload the addon is a bit more tricky. In the downloaded addon archive you will find an android debugging bridge driver ADB . This driver must be installed for your MobiiVega-hybrid.
I used WIN7 for that process and encountered some problems where the tablet with activated USB debugging was not recognized by the OS.
If you also run into this problem you can fix it like doing the following:
Got to your device manager and open the USB-Controller section. There you will find a USB-Composite Device. Remove this device with its drivers and trigger a search for new hardware. Now you will get a new device ADB device for which you can install the ADB drivers.
After extracting the downloaded archive execute the install scripts and … here you go with android market, and a lot of other goodies 🙂
If you interested in some more details you may also have a look here. There are also some modified kernels around read here.
Ahhh and yes…. It goes without saying that any modification you do on your tablet and which eventually may fail are not in my responsibility :-).

our new Moodle system.
We currently have an instance of v. 2.0.2+ running.
After playing around with it over the last few months, we have been very satisfied with it.
Now we currently in the phase where we are comparing Clixs vs moodle. One of them will be our next elearning solution.
so stay tuned…..
seeing is believing 🙂

Amir so where is the peace ,….is it in the gyros or more it he DC/DCs ?…… 🙂
After upgrading from debian squeeze I run into the problem that every commit was failing with “Couldn’t perform atomic initialization“.
See Debian bug report
My apache logs are showing :
[error] [client ] Couldn’t perform atomic initialization [500, #200029]
[error] [client ] Couldn’t perform atomic initialization [500, #200029]
[error] [client ] SQLite compiled for 3.7.4, but running with 3.7.3 [500, #200030]
So it looks like that libapache2-svn is build against libsqlite3 3.7.4 which is currently in Sid. In Squezze we have libsqlite3 3.7.3
A quick fix would be to take the libsqlite3 package from Sid for now.

I just have added a visit motivation feature to the Trac Usermanager plugin. With the included patch set you will get an additional column Last Login in the “UserProfilesList” macro.
This patch applies to UserManager plugin rev 5520 🙂

But these drivers are only for a couple of common mobile devices, so what if you have an ARCHOS 8 like me…. you still getting stuck with a nice…. device not found ….
The first part is easy, Archos in my case, offers his own usb drivers .
After downloading the USB driver I got a shiny “Archos 7 ADB” item under “Android Phone” in my windows device manager. But what the hell,…. after restarting the ADB daemon,…. “ADB devices” was only showing annoying … device not found…. mannnn.
Hmm, google is your best friend :-)…… The solution is that the ADB daemon needs also your USB device vendor ID (VID)
If you cannot get it from your device vendor you may look under device manager -> device details -> hardware ID -> USB\VID_xxxx.
The VID for the adb should be placed in a file under {user home}/.android/adb_usb.ini.
Insert the VID in HEX notation {0x0e79}
If this file does not exist, just create it!

Let me introduce you our first iPhone app. called StudentsLife (v1.0.0) 🙂
StudentsLife is the must have iPhone Gadged for all Students of the FH-Kärnten. … just try it out.
Our first release can be tested at the fair BeSt in Klagenfurt.
Get it at the App-Store
…. to cut to the chase …..
The Feature set :
But take a look for yourself….
And … Daniel big thx for your hard work!!!! 🙂
By the way, we are also working on an Android version…. so stay tuned…
Yeah “The Postman Always Rings Twice” 🙂 particularly ours……..,
I have just received my new gadget. Yes, its a Kinect Cam.
First tests look very impressive and promising. We will use the cam for our AAL project Healt@Home., and for our stundent projects too 🙂
For the first tests I have used the NUI Kinect Driver SDK.
Next steps will be to get the depth data into OpenCV, aForge, ImaqVision,…..
Stay tuned for more…..
