Where does this wire go?

I purchased an atom 330 m/b, a 2.5″ hard drive, a case, and an m2-atx. I should get the parts by monday then I’m going to migrate my stuff over to the new box. I think I ended up spending about $300.00 for the stuff. I’ll update the carputer page eventualy (I hope).

I went to mini-box and bought some components I’m going to throw in to replace the dell optiplex sx260.

I ordered the following components. The total cost including shipping was just shy of $250.00

2GB DDR2 Memory
P4-12V to P4-12V Cable for M2-ATX
M2-ATX
Intel D945GCLF2D mini-ITX Atom 2×1.6Ghz
M350 Universal Mini-ITX enclosure

I’m curious to see how the dual atom does compared to the p4 2.8ghz of the dell.

A friend of mine is putting some extra juice into his Honda Insight hybrid. It allows him to recharge his hybrid battery with a pack that he can charge from his house outlets.

It is a really cool set up that he is documenting at insight central. Information on the product he is using can be found at www.enginer.us

I highly encourage anyone that likes playing with electronics to read about what he is doing.

I had a problem setting the variables to point to the jython path. I thought the jython path was the same as where jython.jar was. I was wrong it was the /usr/share/jython and not /usr/shar/java where jython.jar is.

speechlion is having problems understanding my commands. I’m going to see if I can train sphinx to understand me better.

This isn’t a problem with the touch screen, but with a mini keyboard that has a built in touchpad. When I moved the mouse left or right the cursor went up and down. Going up and down did nothing. Clicking the left mouse button moved the cursor right a few pixels.

What I had to do was to edit /etc/modules.d/blacklist.conf and blacklist usbmouse and uncomment usbhid

I’m not sure if it is going to make the touchscreen stop working though. I’ll have to wait a few days to try it out. I took my system out of my car while the mechanics have a look at my transmission.
