[OT] Associate Fellowship
by Roshan 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Hello List, There are two minor questions regarding the Associate Fellowship (general) 1. I have decided to acquire Associate fellowship and be a part of FSF, India. Do I send the Demand Draft through a private courier or do banks offer service of transferring the demand draft directly to FSF, Kerla, India? 2. Which mailing list among the FSF's lists, is populated with users of GLUG's mailing list? I have subscribed to FSF-edu mailing list and it seems there are only two members subscribed to it! (me and Mr. Ajay, from Punjab)? __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know. Learn something new http://in.answers.yahoo.com/

Embedded Linux Project Idea.
by Rony 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Hello All, This is an idea for those who are into embedded linux systems. The concept is to create wireless internet access in taxis, cars and buses. The options available today are the wireless data cards or mobile phones or FWP phones attached to individual laptops. But what happens when more passengers want to access the net and everyone may not have a data card. So we need a black box that acts as an interface with the phone's ( net service provided by the transporter) usb cable and the network interface of a Wireless AP. I don't know if any ready made phone is available with a direct network interface and a built-in ppp dialer but the simple way out would be to use an old pc or laptop as the interface and share that connection at its ethernet port. However that would make it too bulky and power consuming. The other approach would be to have something like the ADSL modem that is a network interface and a pppoe dialer bundled together. In our black box we need a usb interface that can detect different wireless phones, a pppoe dialer to make a connection and a network interface to connect to the W AP. Everytime the connection breaks, it will automatically redial. The cost of a dialup session for RIL internet is 50p/minute so Rs. 30 for an hour. That amount can be divided among the passengers and they benefit by being online without a data card. Local buses and taxis can use FWP phones and long distance luxury buses, taxis will use mobile phones as the network device. For buses, more phones and devices with W APs can be added as per demand, for better bandwidth. Everyday, the gaps between no signal areas is closing in and we will get almost seamless net access across the travel region. Regards, Rony.

I have worked on 8051 + RF devices. Good support, good range and the normal whip antennas are fine. Problem with using GPS is (a) lack of detailed maps for India (b) cost An 8051 with RF chip should do the basic processing. Else put in a DSP for more computation and use the 8051 as the front end for communication. You are not looking at a fancy OS on it, right. these RF can be configured for directional transmission by placing a directional antenna at the transmitter end. Akshay

Dear Rony, >The main hurdle in this concept is to develop a proper radio system >that has directional accuracy without being too expensive for the >comman man. The idea is excellent. I have done various electronics projects(8051 based). Also, I have enough knowledge of Radio frequency. I need somebody's assistance to get started with the project.

Directional Radio Signposts.
by Rony 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hello All, While we are on to discussing new ideas, this is a concept that I thought of during my daily traveling. I am mostly on field and travel a lot in public transport. I have observed that visually impaired persons usually have a problem with directions and it is more complex when it comes to making choices in different directions. Now that we have the honor of having an extremely talented person like Mr. Mane on our list, he too can give feedback on this. The normal method is to use beeping sounds near signals and crossings. However, our road networks are complex and require more complex sign aids. The problem is compounded when making a choice at a junction of many roads, not knowing which road leads to what place. This can be resolved by having radio beepers at all road points and each beeper having its own data repeatedly broadcast. To differentiate between each post and its data, the user has a handheld unidirectional radio receiver that has a mini parabolic dish antenna. The user first turns the receiver around and gets beeps for every radio post detected. As the device is pointed, its sound is the loudest when pointing straight to it. Then with the flick of a switch, he hears the data through a earphone. It tells him where he is located and where the direction he points to, is leading to with actual road names too. Its like a guide explaining different directions. So while the radio post is omni directional, the receiver is uni directional. Shops and restaurants too can use these radio posts to guide people to their shops and advertise their merchandise. I say, this system can be used even by sighted people who need help in directions, as big junctions have long distances across and looking across signboards can be difficult with buses and other traffic blocking the view. Tourists will find this a very handy live city guide. The main hurdle in this concept is to develop a proper radio system that has directional accuracy without being too expensive for the comman man.

Linux file recovery.
by Rony Bill 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hello All, I want to know some good utility for recovering a deleted ext3 partition's files and folders. The partition is not yet overwritten. I googled and tried `r-linux' in windows as well as `recover' in linux but both these softwares simply dump a long list of blank files that represent inodes. The tldp site too does not provide info about converting inodes into original files. How does one actually convert deleted files/folders into their original form? Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ All New Yahoo! Mail Tired of Vi@gr@! come-ons? Let our SpamGuard protect you. http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/nowyoucan.html

Also the "chain of commands" GDB goes through when given commands like break, step etc. I 'm reading GDB Internals ... but its not helping me much in this regard. Pleas Help. -- wrr
