Welp I'v almost got it all the info needed for the V5 AUDIO out hack. (modified 0 times) mp3boombox Profile | Email Ok, I will be looking for someone with GOOD skills on using a scope AND has a scope or access to one, AND has a V5. If such a person exist's i'll donate one of my audio mod's with a varable area in it. I hehe dont have a SCOPE but the mod i built with an option to change parts so that the correct electronic component can be found for the best frequence responce. I'v got all the info needed for creating a line in/out on a V5. As i'v said befor i dont have a v5 there for i cant test it. Now judging from the tech. writing on the sound chip i believe the demo/test board is ready to go. But there is a special double jumper on the uC board so that variable parts can be changed and tested. This includes the input and output. On both right and left channels. All i'll be looking for is the data results. What i'd like to get is a 20-20,000 responce like my current yamaha snd-chip mod. Please email me berinc@acadia.net Oh by the way to whomever is the lucky person, please dont try to screw me and just take the unit and call it a day. After i'v got the results i need the unit is your's to keep. But I'll post every last bit of info i got about you on this board, if you just try to get a FREE board and disapear on me with out helping out. The rest of the loyal io hackers can express there feel's ect... about it if that happends. This will be for the GOOD of the IO world. Also the board will only come with the extra parts which i believe is required. But if it turns out that the parts i'v done the math on are not the best choice part, I leave it upto you to play scientist OR doctor ;) with the GOOD old trial and error OR decifer what is best souted. 01-02-2001 16:51:48

RE:Welp I'v almost got it all the info needed for the V5 AUDIO out hack. (modified 0 times) cheaphack Profile mp3boombox, Can you give us a hint as to what kind of skills are going to be needed to install this kit? 01-04-2001 07:34:39

RE:Welp I'v almost got it all the info needed for the V5 AUDIO out hack. (modified 0 times) mp3boombox Profile | Email When I get the mod working it will be just like my yamaha audio mod. solder 4 or 6 wires. 6 if you want line in also. The test audio mod i ahve is just the same only thing is that its a bit bigger board with hehe basicly a few set's of 4 contact dip sockets jsut so you can plug in different caps. to test and find the best ratting for the job. I'm not 100% shure but i believe the current audio mod will work just fine in the v5 but :( i dont have one there for i cant test. Hehe if oneome wanted to traide a LATEST pain in the ass v5 for a V1 with no LCD screen but working backlight and every thing else ;) I'd be more then willing. Hell I'd traid an audio/serial mod and this broken IO for a latest V5. hehehe right now i'v just got a simple video out hack on the broken one so i can see the screen and use it as my network gateway. I dont have the TIME or money to go searching for a new LCD screen. If someone has a bunch of extra IO'S that they could take one as parts and sell me a SCREEN i'd mess my self. Because i need this second IO working WITH a screen. Nothing better then spending 2 hours lugging a monitor upto the server cmoputer on my 50port hub with 5 computers networked total ;). so for the v5 audio test board its a standerd audio install with 4/6 wires 4for audio out only 6 for audio out/in. all line level NOT mic in. and dip sockets for the testing of different value caps in a few ares to get teh best results, 20hz-20,000khz responce is my goal. 01-04-2001 15:16:22

RE:Welp I'v almost got it all the info needed for the V5 AUDIO out hack. (modified 0 times) starfish Profile Dude, How about the connection points ? I will be building the ButtonPuncher Hack as I have in the Past. As I have 5 to do I wouldn't be buying Kits. You Got Any Nice Photos with Circles ??? (Can't hurt to ask) Any Details would be Nice. Wouldn't be bad for a few people to be working on this Hack @ the Same Time. My Top Project Currently is turning a V4 into a HotFlashing Station. I am thinking I want VGA Out for this. It should be Easy, with All of the Details Already Posted Here KEEP K00L, * StarFish * 01-04-2001 17:52:17

RE:Welp I'v almost got it all the info needed for the V5 AUDIO out hack. (modified 0 times) eddavis Profile Well, I'd help if I could, but I don't have access to a scope. But I'd certainly be interested in this once it's ready to go, or if there's any sort of other testing to be done that I can provide. 01-05-2001 06:18:31

RE:Welp I'v almost got it all the info needed for the V5 AUDIO out hack. (modified 0 times) cyrixone Profile I've got a scope and a V5 I-Opener... I don't have a hard drive for the V5, and since legacy audio support is absent from the BIOS, there is no chance I can get the thing to make any kind of noise in DOS. Anyway, I don't need any audio mod kits or anything in return... Just tell me what points you want tested and I'll tell you if there's a waveform and what the voltage is. On my mutant v2 (a v2 with a Hitachi screen, since the I-Opener fell over and I had to replace the screen), I just followed the LM---- (having a brainfart here, can't remember the rest of the numbers and don't have an opened I-Opener handy to look at) application circuit for a headphone jack. I don't know why people have said the output is low quality - I've connected it to my RadioShack Pro 35 headphones (the Titanium headphones, they're actually made by Koss and sold at Circuit City for $19), an el-cheapo cassette adapter, as well as my home stereo amp's line-ins and experienced great sound every time. Ironically, just as everyone has finished their car I-Opener MP3 players, the market is getting hit with portable MP3 CD-R/RW players, some for as cheap as $99. When you factor the cost: MP3 CD-R/RW player - $99 CD-RW Burner - $99 (Tigerdirect.com has some for less than $99) 13GB worth of blank CD-Rs (20) - $16 Total: $214 I-Opener (Original Cost) - $99 12GB laptop drive - $160 I-Mod Kit - $35 Tennmax Fan - $22 Power Inverter - $19 Not including time to do hack or cost of parts for audio out hack or a USB NIC for MP3 transferring, the total is: $335 01-05-2001 06:56:45

RE:Welp I'v almost got it all the info needed for the V5 AUDIO out hack. (modified 0 times) cheaphack Profile Thats true when you compare the price of a CDR that does mp3 to the IO. HOWEVER.... compare the price of one of those mp3 "bricks" that contain a hard drive, and you are suddenly looking at a MUCH more favorable comparison. My goal is to provide a way to play any of 300 albums, or look at any digital pictures from the IO, with it connected to the stereo and to my main computer via house-network... and to take it on the road and upload pictures from comparitively expensive compact-flash media to the io (compare 256mb CF == IO !!), and to download to my nomad. For me, this is a hobby more than a cost effective way to do anything, but it does save money over purchasing massive amounts of CompactFlash (Nikon Coolpix) and SmartMedia (nomad) memory. It also allow viewing of the day's pictures on a sharper screen, as well as internet accessibility, etc, etc, etc. 01-05-2001 11:27:09

RE:Welp I'v almost got it all the info needed for the V5 AUDIO out hack. (modified 0 times) mp3boombox Profile | Email Dood cyrixone, Could you point me to that SCREEN or info on that replacement SCREEN. I to have had the same problem. Either oneof my roomates or my cat nocked over one of my iopeners a while ago. And neather party is talking. So i need a new screen. As for the pintout's i can give you that informaion when i get home. Currently i'm at a friends place utilizing a t1 ;) the only way to download mp3's. Oh did i mention i use my IOPENER as a laptop witha usb modem ;). There is a nice piece of plexy glass on hinges hoked to the bottem fronot of the stand. When the io is put togeather and running it folds under nicly, but when i fold it down i fold the flap out over the screen makes it safe for a laptop bag. A person sent me a nice picture of the audio chip and its in farly good detail. Only problem is i cant trace all the lines. But i can give the the pin numbers for whats what's what. And a link to the PDF file on the audio chip its self, givin all the pin out's and function's 01-05-2001 15:26:36

RE:Welp I'v almost got it all the info needed for the V5 AUDIO out hack. (modified 0 times) cyrixone Profile mp3boombox: I replaced my screen in a somewhat underhanded way ;) I bought a new I-Opener 2001 at CompUSA, switched screens and returned it. This involved very carefully removing the anti-tamper stickers so they could be reapplied, and a flathead screwdriver that I used a grinding bit on so it would be able to remove AND reinstall the security torx screws. My screen wasn't totally broken, it just fell over and landed on my trackball - it left a white circle on the screen that wouldn't go away. The actual screen was still intact. I'm not sure you'd be able to return a shattered screen. ;) cheaphack: Using the I-Opener for more than just playing MP3s is a good idea... I had planned on using my I-Opener as a cheap laptop, and one of the things I primarially wanted it for was listening to MP3s. I had the hard drive stuffed with MP3s, and I was looking into portable USB external CD-ROM drives... Then I saw the Memorex MP3 CD player at Target for $99... Now I have an I-Opener with a LOT more free space and I can carry my entire music collection on 7 CD-Rs (equal to about 70 standard audio CDs). Plus, a discman-sized player that runs off 2 AA's is a lot easier to lug around than an I-Opener. :) Another nice thing about MP3 CD-R/RW players (and I-Openers, for that matter)... NO SDMI! Heheheheh... Fsck the RIAA! 01-06-2001 10:35:08
