EN

Somewhere in the list of topics in my website, I already show one self made battery driven Bluetooth Speaker with proper size.

Well, now is the time to to extend that a bit, and the new build use already two batteries, bigger amplifier and bigger speakers.

The amplifier, once again Chinese and use Bluetooth / 3.5mm jack as input source. The difference with previous one is the missing of SD card / USB reader.

The amplifier itself is based on TDA7498E chip and on paper it will be able to output about 150W@4ohm with 36V of power supply. The bridged mode will be of about 200W.. That is quite a lot for such a small foot print chip but let`s see.

DMG Celos - some small tip

EN

In this topic, will try to give some tips how you can access the Windows 10 part of CELOS user interface used in DMG mori machines along side of Haidenhain NC.

What I mean? If you poke around, probably you already know that there is VNC “remote” access to the Windows 10 computer build in some DMG Mori machines, which control the CELOS side. Yes, but that one has password that they probably didn`t give you.

For me, it was more annoying that the clock on that Windows machine was way off from the TNC640 one. So what now?

KIA Ceed - multimedia/maps update - for LG LAN2060EKJD

EN

In that topic will show you how I did update my car`s multimedia system to newest maps and software possible for now. In some websites there are offers that for about 40e / 30£ they will send you download link.. Why should I do that?

Before even start, keep in mind two really important things: that will take quite some time (the actual USB to car transfer) . Maybe about 30-35min at least, and also the engine must run or connect some battery charger so that the car will not go into Energy saving mode. Actually, if you have some long trip, plug the flash drive, select until the process start and you do not need to touch anything anymore and drive. The player will continue to play radio station what you left and meanwhile update.


The PLAYER in question is LG LAN2060EKJD , belong to KIA Ceed model `2014, and it look like that (image on right) radio.jpg

The motor control was suspected, and actually cause the malfunction.

In few words, the automatic A/C system control unit drive the fan speed via strong, cooled transistors. Nothing so unusual here. And what might be in the magic box? well… that one:
