Preparing Django for Upgrade

For future upgrades I have to change the whole setup of Django. Changing the direction is not easy because the flight control has to be changed. In case of this every module has to change the place inside the frame. A work which drives me crazy the last weeks. So today i was in mood doing this. Outside weather is sunny and over 30 degrees. Hummm…

Celluon is epic…

so guys you know that i have this celluon epic keyboard. right now i am writng wit tis laser type keyboard. so far it is doing well. there are some errors from hitting the wrong keys but its ok.

i will try a sentence for test without looking on the screen of my lenovo miix.

so here we start.

this is written with the laser keyboard fro celluon, with only two fingers in 25 seconds.

this is wrtten in nearly 10 finger system on the laser keyboard

so you see its getting righ nice.

the proection screen has measures of 250mm x 100mm, so te keys are really big for accessing. tere is an inbuild mouse option. this is really good for using te mouse. it feels quite natual t type on the laser projection on a table but i haveto watch the keyboard everytime so it is no free typinglike on physical keyboards. i like t tap wit my fingertips to the screennand get the feedback everytime onefingerhits the table.

what it did findoutis thatb it is notpossibleto use a bluetooh mouse parallel to this keyboard on my lenovo mix 2 8. te moueik connected befoe and ifi turn on the celluon keyboard the mouse is like choppy ad is notcontrolable anymore. nowi see i passed te spacebar buttonnsmetmes so thks text i notncorrected.

so all the errors are done by te laser keyboard, haha, i hope you ca read it;-)

what i realized is tat if i am typing too fast i get some letters missing.

like: heheheheheheheeehe

so far i love it and will get arranged with the errors. a really nice gadget..

all errors are still here i dont want to correct it that you can se how it is doing its job. this is the first long tet i write with this keyboard so i am sure to get better and familliar with it

Tarot motor mount versions

Here are the differences between the tarot motor mount v1 and v2. The upper picture shows v1 the lower one v2. V1 is lighter than V2.
V1=17gramms
V2=32gramms

For version 2 there has to be drilled a hole through the arms with 2,5 mm diameter. V1 is only for clamping. V2 has bigger measures so the motor is much safer when hitting obstacles or at crashing. Ok only if you have these fat pancake t-motors 4006 on board. Other motor setups will vary in size.

Black Django, copter repair

Nach dem Absturz am Sonntag ist mal wieder basteln angesagt. Ein Motorhalter bzw die Carbonfaserplatte ist unbrauchbar. Deshalb werde ich die Arme mit den Version 2 Haltern von Tarot ausstatten. Die originalen und  alten Halter haben ein Gewicht von 17gramm die neuen sind etwas schwerer mit 32gr. Allerdings ist es mit diesen möglich 2 Motoren oben und unten zu befestigen. Auch sind diese robuster und schützen den Motor besser bei „Einschlägen“. Aufgrund des Klappmechanismus ist es allerdings beim TF-Model Frame nicht möglich die vorderen Arme mit den V2 Haltern umzurüsten. Es ist schlichtweg im eingeklapptem Zustand kein Platz, da diese zu breit sind. Weiterhin habe ich festgestellt, dass die vorderen Arme kürzer sind wie die hinteren. Ich werde nun die Arme zusätzlich von vorne nach hinten tauschen um im Frontbereich etwas mehr Distanz von den Propellern zu der Kamera zu bekommen. Mal sehen obs klappt…

Lenovo Miix 2-8 3G Version

so i did a bit research around the 3g version of the miix and found out that Lenovo already sold it in Singapore since the beginning of February 2014. But, and now i understand why there in the rest of the world is no 3g version because the internal modem or the antenna attached to it caused some trouble there. Most people had problems to get connection or hold the connection continously. So most of the devices which are sold there already get back for refund. So far is i read there should be there soon a 2. batch of the lenovo miix 2-8 with less problems at modem side.

I found out too that there was in the first batch a built in 3g modem from huawei.

here is a link with more informations from a special forum over there:

as far as i can see it should be possible to connect a modem inside this tiny tablet even it is not integrated at purchase. space is enough there as you can see on my pictures i took at the disassembling post. I will do some testings and will see what happens. this is the biggest lack of the miix right now.
