Electric Blue Wolf

@zig131 @SadlyItsBradley Stumbled upon this post doing research. Bigscreen is using discrete photo diodes and TS4631. Maybe that provides better positioning with Photodiode being smaller, or the TS4112 is not readily available?

@SadlyItsBradley Have you checked what IC the Bigscreen Beyond is using? Be interesting if the small form factor is enabled by an even more efficient tracking chip.

I was bored tonight and wanted to take a look at Triad Semiconductor's different Light to Digital Converters in different Steam VR Lighthouse peripherals I owned Wasn't too much difference. My Valve Knuckles DVT, Vive Tracker 3.0, and Tundra Tracker (in order) all use TS4631

@tridekdu Maybe shorted the Vconn / CC and put it in a protect mode? A bit concerning. I usually test and use this on a Thunderbolt Hub or Thunderbolt device second port to try not break expensive laptop. The adapter has worked well directly on in Laptop when travelling.

@ElectricElecami I got some weird behaviour when plugged a new (though de-shelled) adapter to my laptops USB4 capable USB-C port. It faulted the alt-mode (USB and charging still worked) so that I had to remove battery to get it back to working again. (bought same ones you had) So just a heads-up!

Got a headset, and curiosity lead into some disassembly~ I have been trying to debug: why does the headset need the "link box"? It would be handy to use direct connection to a USB-C port that supports DP1.4

@tridekdu Good work with that. Looks good. I recently printed a bracket for VIVE Mouth Tracker to attach. Need to dig out supports so I an test it.

@ElectricElecami Oh, had similar success with similar (or perhaps even the same) module. But have been testing other options, so I could have PD input too. Been up to mods that require additional power to keep stable. >:3

@tridekdu Did you have any luck with this? Here is my new one. Works well. This adapter: aliexpress.com/item/100500750… (C to DP 4K60HZ C) Since this I have investigated how the CC line affects the Hot Plug Detect in the Link Box and think I have worked out how to implement it. Will try on next.

@ElectricElecami Frames shamelessly stolen from video~ Sketched schematics in KiCad.

@OnlypawsCamop Maybe something is not configured correctly.

@ElectricElecami according to them it was working, the tape deck works fine and so does the lens and all but no audio, and yes i asked them.

Been a bit quiet here. Lot of things were/ are happening. Here is a new video: EW0091 - LED Highbay Light Teardown youtu.be/j12KCtV5ABc

@OnlypawsCamop Are they selling it as working? Did you ask them?

@ElectricElecami It plays back audio just fine, its that i got it from a seller on ebay called Churchgear, twice ive bought from them and had the same issue

@OnlypawsCamop I don't know. I have not tried to debug that model. Will it play back audio fine? You might need to grab a service manual and start tracing out the signal path with an oscilloscope.

@ElectricElecami I have a Panasonic AJ-D610 with no audio. The mic works but i have no audio coming in. You know whats going on with it?

@fuckineedtits @tridekdu SteamVR not detecting it probably means the DP data lines, or DP Aux, or HPD is not connected right. Bigscreen should not show up as a display? / it doesn't for me. Might suggest the DP Aux lines are not working so there is no or corrupt EDID.

@ElectricElecami @tridekdu So this is mine so far, and it shows up under windows as a display as you would expect and the bigscreen driver software detects it, but steamvr says that the cables are disconnected, but I did order the cable and linkbox off the guy who sold me the goggles anyway.

@tridekdu Great, thanks. Interested to see how you get on :-)

@ElectricElecami Ooh~ I am still waiting for my DP->USB-C adapters. :< Ordered them a couple of weeks ago, should perhaps arrive soon. Was about to test something similar. Will (probably) post results. :3 (Neat video btw. <3 Informative, confirms some of my suspicions! Will steal pinout. >:3)

@tridekdu Success. Proof of concept up and running. youtu.be/60ooBH7QUms

@ElectricElecami Awesome! This saved me a bundle of time. <3 Will most likely also tackle this when I get back home from NFC.

@tridekdu I wonder what is under that metal cover?!!... I will try making a USB-C Adapter for it. Look like the DP lines are just straight through.

One seemingly doesn't need the other USB-cable to make the Bigscreen Beyond work. It just needs to be connected initially. Also the data pins seem to go nowhere on that wire. There's actually only pins for USB2 data on both wires. I guess the USB3 is only in the specs for power~

@tentaklus I don't think it is using HDMI over the One Connect cable. The audio is on separate fiber to video. Normally HDMI it would be combined. It would take a lot of work / experimentation / high end equipment to work it out for sure.

@KWolfski I probably found the Service Manual online. Google search. Maybe this: archive.org/details/manual…

@ElectricElecami hey there, I recently bought a Panasonic MS1 and Im looking to repair it. When doing research I found your video (youtu.be/-Lfd9ur8l-E) and was wondering if you could help me with providing the schematics you used in the video. Cheers.

@w1ngselec Nice to see that working again.

@mintbunny666vrc @Oradimi @VRChat It has the things you described and the photos I took there look like yours.

@ElectricElecami @Oradimi @VRChat No....that one is not it. I don't remember what it was called because it was back in January when I first stepped into PC VR.

When was the moment you fell in love with VRChat?

@KattonIsAwesome @mintbunny666vrc @VRChat vrchat.com/home/launch?wo…

@mintbunny666vrc @VRChat WORRLOD?

@Oradimi @mintbunny666vrc @VRChat vrchat.com/home/launch?wo…

@mintbunny666vrc @VRChat Which world is this?

@AvilaNocLuis I don't know. It looks like a software issue to me. Probably could be a power supply issue too.

@ElectricElecami It happens no only on that app. But in any Menu too, it gets dark and then the tv goes to that black screen

Is it possible to repair a broken Samsung One Connect, Invisible Connection Cable?... Maybe, if you have the time and some specialist equipment.

@AvilaNocLuis TV application crashes then the OS reboots?

@ElectricElecami Its so weird. Look

@AvilaNocLuis Could be the cable, could also be power supply issues in either TV or One Connect Box.

@ElectricElecami Hi, im hvin an issue with mine. The tv gets turn off suddenly while using it. Do you think it could be the cable?
