Thread: Mystery ARM926 7" netbook - need help researching it

-

a few days ago local laptop repair place showed me thought eee pc 7". grabbed yesterday , turns out else. promising methinks, don't know sure. runs embedded windows ce.

o akarm arm926ej-s [sysinfo says arm926-akchip] 248mhz
o windows says 800x480 resolution, google tranlations of csdn.net forum pages says maybe 1066x600 in native lcd mode.
o going audio player reveals thet oem info is: anyka ak780x. led me csdn.net , dicussions of anyka dev kit [much sheevaplug dev kit].
o has 2 usb 2.0 ports, 1 port labeled usb not 2.0 , jtag interface proc.
has ethernet , wireless. no video out. sd memory slot "supposed" user stores data.

guess overgrown mobile phone full sized keyboard. retail $135. store owner says if oder "enough" [that 30-40 in town], price down in $80+ range.

worth messing with? cannot find squat on arm926 except dev boards of various flavors.

worst part? goes through post, says "hit f1 update system". when asks password. no 1 knows is. random shipment bought @ auction maybe? have tried resetting in various fashions see if can console access via mystery usb port, have accomplished have ignore me when try hit f1 ;-[ guess tried password many times... oops.

--egrep

here have tried besides not outsmarting bios.
o tried making fat16 usb boot stick - zip
o tried booting off of remix install on sd card - nada
o built fat16 sd card iso installer - again, nope

won't anywhere write protected 2gb flash disk. _do_ have option of formatting these, since have bricked anyway, might next thing try ;-]

take pics , post them on picasaweb. cute little thing...

i'm struggling dht11 sensor work on arduino. code compiles without problems in serial monitor output keep on getting " read sensor: time out error" i've tried multiple libraries, adafruit etc still none of them worked. set serial monitor same speed (115200) didn't fix problem.  i'm using:  mega2560  dht11 temp+hum sensor windows10 x64 arduino 1.6.9 library dht11.h v0.4.1 source:  http://playground.arduino.cc/main/dht11lib wiring : blue = gnd yellow = 2 red = 5v (also see picture)  my code:    code: [select] #include <dht11.h> // //   file:  dht11_test1.pde // purpose: dht11 library test sketch arduino // //celsius fahrenheit conversion double fahrenheit(double celsius) {   return 1.8 * celsius + 32; } // fast integer version rounding //int celcius2fahrenheit(int celcius) //{ //  return (celsius * 18 + 5)/10 + 32; //} //celsius kelvin conversion double kelvin(double celsius) {   return ...

Arduino Uno + KTY81/210 temperature sensor

hi, sorry, new , unsure lot of things, need clarification. haven't found information explains how , why things work, "do this, that" i following guide ( arduino-thermistor-temperature-sensor-tutorial ) connect thermistor arduino uno. here temperature sensor information: temp. sensor 2000r +-1% to92 part.no.:   kty81-210 name:   temp. sensor 2000r +-1% to92 description:   2.5mm, 1980...2020ohm, -55...+150°c and here sensor's data-sheet: sensor data-sheet i have connected same way in guide. works , values being serial printed. what don't understand: 1. thermistor's , resistor's ohm value should equal, correct? in case 2000 ohm? 2. thermistor has ptc, i'm guessing have invert math or use ntc thermistor instead correct values? (currently resistance goes temperature goes down) 3. understand code uses steinhart-hart math logic convert resistor value temperature value, need a, b , c coefficients of thermis...
