I started doing that but i couldnt figure out how to call the lights myself without changing petterns in the mce file. I think i have since learnt how to do it via hal/dbus, so i should be able to change a new version to test it :D. Also something cool i have learnt ;) (The below script lights each of the 6 keyboard back lights up one at a time ;) ) - will add this as a test soon :D Code:
#! /bin/sh |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
oh forgot to add the script for the normal led's above! (not keyboard ones)
Code:
#! /bin/bash |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
Just another quick update and request for you lovely testers :)
The next version will allow updatable/refreshable fields by clicking on each one. I'm also going to try and put in the different levels of GPS updates (some more accurate then others, some drain more battery or take longer to get a fix etc...) -> this will probably be done via the right click/hold down/context menu. There will hopefully also be a Keyboard light checker and a more advanced LED tester. Are there any other requests for the next version? :D P.s. - spelling/grammer mistakes have been noted and are fixed in the next version. |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
Im missing the icon after the latest update (1.1.0-0). I tried rebooting too.
Is anyone else experiencing this? |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
hehehe just uploaded V1.1.0-1 - as 0 had an issue ;)
Either autobuilder or i am having an issue ;) working on it as i type though :) Was just popping in to say there are now three versions!! Extras - 0.6.0-5 Testing - 1.0.0-0 Devel - 1.1.0-1 :D :D Devel has got some sexy new touch to refresh in the system tab (Not replicated in comms yet) |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
1.1.0-2 - just uploaded to devel - should be available in 5 minutes and should have it's icons back......
can't explain this one though! |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
ok, confirmed, latest version + reboot fixed it for me :D = I apologize for the issues peeps.
|
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
1.1.0-2 has its icons back after reboot. Nice work!
|
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
wohooo!
That one was really really odd....... they had literally just vanished! Good to hear they are back :D Right off to work.... probably no more healthcheck until tomorrow :( |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
Thinking more about stress testing the device....
I'm not so sure about just opening every app available and watching thins burn... What i think i'd like to do is get some measured tests..... (Ie know what processes are running, and judge it on that) - do some tests and score them.... Anyone got any suggestions as to what tests, how to score etc? :D |

Alternatively, how about getting Mprime running, im sure there must be an arm-compiled copy kicking around somewhere. |

If its possible it would require a port of something akin to Prime95 (using Lucas-Lehmer iterations to find higher and higher prime numbers) or SuperPi (calculating pi down to as many decimal places as possible) Just a suggestion.... Also read elsewhere you might want to give it a facelift - if you want a hand with graphics for that one I'd be happy to lend a hand :D |

Probably would be useful for the overclockers too :D In a previous version there was a cpu temperature monitor - but it is very hit and miss :( - so i took it out :( if i can figure out why, i will re-add it :D Definitley any help with the fx would be appreciated - i'll have to elarn how to swap buttons for images etc.... I'm thinking of removing the tab and having a main window... Main window --> System --> Comms --> Tools --> About (+ eventually information about the commands and lines in H/C, so a mini wiki) Could have a healthceck symbol (like the logo) in big - each end of the cross is a different button? :D - each loads up their own full screen sub-windows maybe? :D I also kinda like the idea of the main screen being semi-transparent - apart from the healthcheck cross? - not sure if that makes sense! edit - completely forgot to add - QT can use CSS i think - will ask mikec ;) |

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
With regards to basic benchmarking to begin with..... something like this could work? - it has a completion average time - so can be used as a basic score....
It allows the user to define their own starting point (IE i can count processes active and divide the total score by that to get a final score!) - it actually a python test - but relyss on the device to power it through :D |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900

If you're after a pure benchmark of the hardware then pybench might be a starting point (though it's likely to be relatively inaccurate for this purpose) but it'll achieve nothing for a stress-test of the cpu and memory, which is something I imagine all the overclockers would like to see - A proper stress test will need a continuous prime/pi calculation or similar. |

5 images central cross - then 4 buttons at the end, as long as they blend i should be able to position buttons anywhere. I'm thinking a half top bar(just to the left of the back arrow going about 3/4 of the screen) - could be a faded green colour saying HealthCheck - Version - Screen title. Or something similar as well - can worry about that later Quote:
Will stick with an app for the moment, not tried widgets yet :D Quote:
Should get some free time at the weekend to give it a proper trial - but obviously whhatever you throw up so to speak, i'll get it on and see what it looks like ;) Thank you very much for your help and support. (P.s. i can be found quite often on IRC in #Maemo, if needed) |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
For Sound tests I suggest to also add earspeaker tests.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
Just a quick play for the past 10 minutes on lunch got me this:
http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...hcheckcopy.jpg Obviously that will be split into the four / five buttons that you want, and aligned so that it all looks good. Is this the sort of thing you were looking for fella...? edit just noticed that the sheens across the top and middle sections are not aligned properly with the edges of the cross. Will fix that later on /edit |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
Ok, now, we have been talking about overclock ckecking functions, but I have been thinking about this and I got a rather large concern.... The other night I installed Debian - don't know what it is or what it does but I also had to install a rather large image file. During the installation of said image file I was on a call. That call was promptly dropped by the device followed by a total lock-up for a good 30 seconds before the phone screen came back. I clicked on close and the screen remained on phone for the next 30 seconds.
Now. What I put that down to was the proc being totally tied up with the installation of the image file. If the proc can get this tied up with installing an image file then hammering it at 100% load with a SuperPi string would *probably* have the same effect. Ok, so your running an OC'ed N900 at 900Mhz, which is a MASSIVE 50% overclock on standard running speed. By doing that the core temp of the proc is increasing. You're also hammering it with a SuperPi string. It's getting hotter. And hotter. And hotter. You try to close the SuperPi string. The device does not respond. It's cycling the proc too much. The proc meanwhile is still getting hotter. So this continues for the next 30 seconds or so. Voila. Fried CPU. Smell that TCP'ish kinda smell? Thats what a PCB smells like when its frying. I know. I work with them. Just a little concerned is all..... But the same *could* be said for PC's. Eggs anyone? |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
Just a quick one - will reply to the above when i get home!
Did a google search for N900 and Healthcheck out of curiosity - and amazed to see how many places it appears in, but even funnier is the google translation of some pages!! http://translate.google.co.uk/transl...en-GB:official !!!! |

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
Its your last few days to do any testing you want peoples! - http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...check/1.0.0-0/
in 2 days V 1 (At this rate) will be in maemo.org downloads :D And a new version should be on it's way to testing! Been looking through more and more foreign websites and seeing the odler versions dotted in some other repo's... + also translated versions! More then happy to implement translatable versions in a future version (Just reading from a text file etc) - if needed. (Not sure if the QT translate part is still working, or will still be working in the future so to speak. |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
Version 1.0.0-0 has been released into Extras.
It can be downloaded from here - http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/healthcheck/ I have updated the first post of this thread with the usual upgrade information |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
I am unable to find the application in the App Manager on my N900. When I try to install it through the browser from maemo.org/downloads I get an error: "Program package not found" (translated from danish).
Have anyone else these problems? |

hi! is a red light on the LED test normal?
coz i read that when a red light glows on led there is a hardware problem :( |
Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
Yes the LED test is a red LED only at this point..... And yes, you are also right, a red LED indicates an error - not necessarily a hardware problem but definitely a problem - except in this test :)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
Ooo interesting, what version are you running?
version 1.0.0-0 allows you to select a couple of patterns that are in built. So in my case (Unchanged from new) they are as follows: (Within a 5 sec period) Pattern Error - Long Red - Long Red Pattern Power On - Dim White Light - Progressivly brighter - Long Pattern Power Off - Reverse of above, progressivly lighter - Long Pattern Communication Call - 2 Double blue flashes repeated - short Pattern Communication SMS - 2 Double flashes - slower than above. Working on a better LED testing suite though :D |

this version is great! it updates at every tap! and just the way i like it, and there's a pixel test too! men this rocks! my first time to play with the app so thats why i sound like everything is so new to me. :D |

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
Right! There is an update in extras devel - this one may not please all!
Version 1.1.1-3 Changes: Nearly all first tab(Comms) information rows update per click Added system load (From uptime) Added a CSS StyleSheet Minor change to the application description (Package list) I have had some great emails assisting me, the last from doksng. I really appreciated this! :D - i also appreciate the work put into your photoshop layouts :D - they do look great. So with that noted, i apologize at my early crappy attempt! - I've noticed pyQT does not like CSS much, managed to get a white working, but it looked rubbish :| and since that i couldn't get any other colors working :| Will spend this week playing around to see what i can sort out :D |
