Remote Desktop Error 1702 getting session names. Error [1702]: The binding handle is invalid.

I have it working now, if you can't get Remote Desktop working. AKA it was working before and it suddenly stopped, an update may have gotten you. After some googling and a bit of fiddling I brought up the cmd prompt and got the Error[1702] error when typing qwinsta. The problem ended up being that somehow my Terminal Services were disabled.

I fixed it by going to control panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

Scroll down to terminal services right click, go to properties and set to automatic, then right click and click start service. This may work for you, it did for me.

controlling pins on Openwr Kamikaze

Just for those people, (reminder to myself), looking for a way to easily control LEDs and other lights on a OpenWRT router running Kamikaze. Login to the router and install kmod-gpio-dev


$>opkg install kmod-gpio-dev
$>cd /proc/diag
$>cd leds
$>echo 0 > power


This should cause your power light to start blinking. You can send 0 or 1 to any of these LEDs listed in LEDs.

kmod-leds-gpio is not available

I was trying to compile the package kmod-leds-gpio in Kamikaze but it didn't show up. It seems that there is an issue with the latest version of default kernel_config for that module, in order to get it to work type


$>make kernel_menuconfig


Then go to

[*] LED support -->
[M] LED support for GPIO connected Pins

OpenWRT Kamikaze compile single package

I found the solution to this on this site
openwrt building

You have to type the following to compile a package without compiling the entire build tree


$> make package/i2c-gpio-custom/{clean,compile,install} V=99 DEVELOPER=1


This is from the top directory of Kamikaze.

AVB TOP Shot Pegasus

This turns out to be a great joystick, and I got it for only $5 at geeks.com They no longer seem to carry it, but its not hard to find., and its a fairly comfortable joystick. Well, its great because it also has force feedback.

No current windows driver, but it works in linux, and actually works with the iforce module, I tested it in ubuntu 8.10 and it worked.

Correction, you can get the current windows drivers from AVB
http://www.avbusa.com/driver/ffxp.exe

Just follow the directions at
http://scaryreasoner.wordpress.com/2008/07/18/getting-the-xbox-controller-to-work-with-linux-including-rumble-effect/

download the source code he refers to.

Type in ls /dev/input while the joystick is plugged in and then after disconnecting it. Figure out which event disappears. Use that event when calling

fftest /dev/input/event7

type numbers 1-5 for effects.

Interact V3 steering wheel analog digital mode

I wasn't able to find the manual to the InterAct V3 steering wheel for PlayStation. I'm doing some research with it. To change it from Analog Mode to Digital mode you have to hold the set button until it beeps and then press square for digital or O for Analog mode.

Eagle resistor clarification

I found this on

http://www.instructables.com/id/ENUTEALRUXEQHO8Y6O/

The general purpose fixed resistor devices are called either R-US (if you like the US zigzag line type
of schematics symbol) or R-EU (if you prefer the European simple rectangle.] The package options
are numerous, but make sense after you realize that there's a common format: "WWLL/SS" where WW is the body width, LL is the body length, and SS is the hole spacing, all in truncated millimeters. A typical 1/4W
resistor measures about 2.5mm in diameter and 7mm long; hole spacing depends on how you bend the
leads. So R-US_0207/10 is a 1/4W resistor with 10mm (actually 4*2.54, or 10.16mm, since we want to
stay close to a 0.1 inch (2.54mm) grid.) R-US_0207/2V is the same resistor mounted vertically with 2.54mm lead spacing. 1/8W resistors are similarly designated "R-US_0204/SS"
