13.Mar.2003 Carsten Siegner (ANF) |
Compass Hardware for Amiga (Principle Circuit) Carsten Siegner has built a principle circuit for a compass. This circuit is unusually sensitive and already detect the north pole of the Earth's magnetic field. For the operation here comes a very sensitive KMZ-51 magnetic field sensor. This includes a sensitivity of - 0.2 kA/m to + 0.2kA/m. Built into the chip are magnetic recessive resistances in the form of a Wheatstone bridge. The sensitivity (uncompensated), relative to measurement setting, carries (16mV/V) / (kA/m). Attention: the sensor is circuit broken in an SMD housing and on that account may only be soldered with great difficulty. The sensor can pick up the electrical field of the computer. So one must compensate for this. One may not divert a magnetic field greater than 1 kA/m with the sensor, or else the Wheatstone bridge will always keep the exit value. In order for this not to happen one must use the chip's internal reset coils. The chip ZN424 is unfortunately very difficult to flush. Unfortunately it is so far the only operation enhancer that can energize the tension variables of the Earth-field detector. Siegner tested other OPs, but none came close to the strengthening of the ZN424. Unfortunately the software programming is not as simple a thing as the hardware. The measurement value fluctuates constantly due to the diverting magnetic fields of the TV or the computer. On account of that one can't directly recognize the Earth's magnetic field. Of course when one adjusts the circuit slowly then one recognizes that the measurement value declines further, the more the sensor is turned from the north-south position. Because the sensor is now polarized, this means that one can differentiate a magnetic field between north and south, and may now recognize the Earth's magnetic field from the correction measurement value. Only the calculations of the whole thing are going to be beautifully difficult. Every metallic resistance will cause disturbance to the setting of the measurement values.

13.Mar.2003 The Legacy (ANF) |
The Legacy: Over 850 Updates The Legacy is a games museum for C64, Amiga, Atari, PC, Schneider/Amstrad CPC, in which readers contribute screenshots, cover scans and information about the developers. Today 660 screenshots, 150 goodies and 60 cover scans were added. The original report: The old museum keeper has the honor to arrange a few words from the common folk! We'll make it brief! New articles as far as the eyes can see! Statistics? 660 (!) screen shots, some in progressively displaying format, some enlargeable. 150 goodies and 60 cover scans. And if you think that's rewarding, oh yeah, there are also 4 Amiga soundtracks! You all are invited, my friends, to wander to your heart's content in our little museum!

CeBIT 2003 - Visit to Genesi (Update II) Martin Heine describes his impressions of Genesi's convention stand at this year's CeBIT 2003 in Hannover. You'll find a few pictures at the end of his report. The first appearance of Genesi at the CeBIT in Hannover takes place at the stand of Plexus - on the other hand Plexus will be Genesi's guest at this year's CeBIT Australia. Pegasos computers with MorphOS installed are being shown, another board separately for demonstrational purposes, as well as case prototypes for example for the Pegasos homeserver Psylent or high end "set top boxes" (as opposed to smaller, simpler DTV STBs). One of the Pegasos computers is to be found in a prototype case, which was also just displayed in Aachen: here sits a micro ATX board directly behind an LCD display, and in the base you'll find for example the CD drive and the frontal USB connections. As a small new MorphOS development (in relation to the latest update on the FTP server) a transparent menu option is there, as well as a graphical selector for setting Preferences. In the way of programming, Internet and multimedia software were shown, as well as a range of emulators, for example Bochs, through which Windows95 was run in an Ambient window on the G3/600 Pegasos. There were no new press releases, at least not on the first day of the convention, but it was confirmed that the long awaited Articia Northbridges from Mai arrived by Genesi in the meantime, so the last run of Pegasos boards may now go into production. Addtionally Arend-Paul Spijkerman, the developer of Mediapoint, was hired by Genesi. With this product, combined with Pegasos and MorphOS, Genesi is able to open another market segment, and Ron van Herk hopes to be able to demonstrate this at CeBIT Australia. No official news was offered about the Pegasos II, however one may be confident that the development might be concluded earlier than expected. Finally, a TV crew paid Genesi a visit: Ralph Benz von "Neues..." (ZDF/3sat) was reported in detail on Wednesday about current events related to Pegasos and MorphOS and he'll be back again with the camera crew to film on the second day of the convention. (nba) Update: Martin Heine has sent us an additional four pictures that he shot during the visit of the 3sat camera team of "Neues..." with Ralph Benz (picture 2, 2. on the left). Pictures 3 and 4 show Bochs and Prefs (these two pictures are not very sharp, we'll get better screenshots later).

Opening of the CeBIT 2003 Today, Wednesday the 12th of March 2003, the CeBIT opened its doors. The world's largest IT fair in Hannover will last until March the 19th 2003. While there is a loss of exhibitors and exhibition space experts guess there will be, facing the stressed situation of the German economy, a decrease of visitors also. But at least the IT trade keeps slightly optimistic. This year UMTS, the tablet PC and once more the competition between Windows and Linux will be in the focus. Among the others there is Genesi, developer and distributor of the Pegasos, attending the show. AMIGA Inc. have canceled their attendence just some days before the start of the fair. Reports of the CeBIT 2003 will be to read at amiga-news.de and AMIGAplus soon. (nba) (Translation: ub) [News message: 12.

Translator wanted (Englisch - German) Andreas Falkenhahn writes: I am looking for someone who might translate the manual of Hollywood to German. It should have been finished some time ago but due to some unfortunate circumstances including the loss of data of a nearly finished German manual we are now just back to the start again. If there might be someone who would do this job the one will receive an extensive Airsoft Softwair bundle incl. Hollywood full version. I will emphasize here that the translation really will be a big job. It is about a good 250 kilobytes of plain text which has to be translated. Something like this will surely take more than just two evenings. Interested ones might contact me to check the details. (ps) (Translation: ub) [News message: 12.

Eyetech: AmigaOne-XE status update Alan Redhouse (Eyetech) comments on the recent delays with the delivery of the AmigaOne-XE motherboards at the AmigaOne mailing list (title link). A brief summary of the most important topics: The delivery of the motherboard is delayed because some testers reported smaller problems with the new hardware and UBoot. The new UBoot revision is finished now (see Hyperion press release from Monday) and the production of the boards can be started now. Eyetech guesses that they will receive the motherboards next week and they aim to start the delivery the week later. Suse ran out of PPC Linux sets so the last XEs will be delivered with Debian. Because there seem to be a great demand of a high end CPU module Eyetech will offer later this year a module with a faster G4 processor. Actually the 7445 with 1.3 GHz is favoured but this might be changed due to the availability of different CPU types. Finally Redhouse comments on the relationship between MAI, Eyetech and Terra Soft extensively. Update: (26.07.2014, cg) A complete copy of Alan Redhouse's mail (added since the Original has been moved elsewhere by Yahoogroups apparently): Message-ID: <09dc01c2e820$37610d60$0201a8c0@dsl> An:(ps) (Translation: ub) [News message: 12.
