After Jack found the cable holder clips Aaron started to print them, we used a MakerBot replicator 2 as this is a very fast printer. Aaron managed to print five cable holder clips, good thing was it only took 18 – 21 minutes to print them. At lunch time Aaron started sticking them to the wall, we used...Read More
We have two monitors at the S.A.R.T workstation. One monitor is usually connected to the S.A.R.T robot, and the other is usually unused. Until today. Aaron and I Jerry “Gerry”-rigged a monitor mount to accommodate the BreezeLite mini PC. The existing mount had to be adjusted to fit the new mount, but fortunately this doesn’t compromise any...Read More
Today Aaron brought the chocolates that he promised to bring for IT Support. Aaron had an idea about how we could give them to IT Support. The idea was: What we need: 1x Ethernet cable 1x Sticky tape 1x Chocolate 1x “Fake” download bar. After taking the tape and ethernet cable from the IT staff room (that...Read More
Today Aaron got a reply from Leader Systems, they said that there was no BIOS update for the BreezeLite and that our best option would be to run it in a VM. Sadly that would be too slow for what we need it for. So it’s back to the intel NUCs. In the meantime, Mr....Read More
Over the weekend Aaron had a look into why the breezeLite wasn’t running Linux smoothly, after looking in the BIOS he came across an option that said “OS IMAGE ID” From factory, you can get the BreezeLite with Android or Windows 10. Aaron set the ID to Android just as a test. Sadly this didn’t...Read More
Aaron and Matt went to IT to work on the BreezeLite but found out that google has been blocked, yet we could go to websites like speedtest.net or iinet.net.au. After much messing around Aaron tried to install chrome, but that failed due to the fact that google was blocked. Matthew then tried to use...Read More
Referring to the events of Day Sixty-One (Boot Loop), Aaron and I believe we may have solved the problem. The BreezeLite was possibly not booting due to power stability issues. At home, I was running the BreezeLite off a power board which was plugged into another power board. Now, before you complain about safety issues, the...Read More
I took the BreezeLite home to work on it over the weekend. There were a number of boot problems, so I first had to reinstall Ubuntu. The wireless adapter was working, so I ensured “Download updates while installing Ubuntu” was checked. I chose to completely erase the disk and install ubuntu fresh because I wasn’t in a...Read More
With yesterday’s WiFi tests a resounding success, Aaron and I decided to transfer the wireless adapter from the laptop to the BreezeLite. The drivers did not automatically install within the Ubuntu environment, however that was what we expected. I downloaded the official drivers from TP-Link, however when I tried to build them, we were drowned in...Read More
Aaron and I ran a number of WiFi range tests using the Xirrus Access Point as the access point (no surprises there) and the TP-Link Archer T4U 1200AC USB Wireless Adapter on a laptop. They measured signal strength using WirelessMon 4.0 by PassMark. The route taken during the test was filmed and the WirelessMon results were...Read More
