Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900

maybe our tech affine community members want to contribute to a recent discussion Werner and I do about the HackerBus USB connection? Concerns are about mechanical stability of the 3pin header (Mill-Max 851-43-003-30-001000) as well as about signal integrity with a unterminated stub of >5mm length (from the header springs) on DP/DN. Alternatives we look into: Zebra strips (http://www.abatek.com/en/products/connectors.html) or pogopins on user's extension board (http://www.digikey.com/product-searc...4-11-0&stock=1)

Jolla, take note... THIS is how you do openness!

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900

enyc contributed great inspiration (IRC) and Werner revisited pinmux and we plan to come up with a dedicated USB interface on HackerBus primary connector (2 GPIO_x function reassignment). The OTG USB will have landing zone pads for pogopins mounted on user circuit, instead of that 3-pin SMT connector. Our recommendation is to leave OTG alone and rather use the dedicated USB host interface on hackerbus, for sake of less conflicts with original purpose of the OTG interface
Comments solicited

[edit] revised HB main connector pin assignment:

Code:

VBAT_RAW | VBAT_RAW

USB_HB_DP|USB_HB_DM

         GND   |  GND      

  NFC_GND | NFC_ANT

         GND   |  GND 

VBUS_OTG | VBAT_SWITCHED

GPIO_d/3V3 | GPIO_c

      GPIO_b | GPIO_a

   UART_TX | UART_RX 

 UART_CTS | UART_RTS

I currently have my eyes set on the L130-5780002011001 with 5700 K and a minimum CRI of 80%. CRI is something new I found:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_rendering_index

Of course, two parameters are still a very course approximation of the actual spectrum. But you'd probably need serious lab equipment to determine that.

Is this flash color still an active issue? The comments are 2 months old.

I have both an original N900 and an x-rite i1Pro2 spectrophoto/radiometer. It should be able to read the flash color as detailed spectrum curve, and the dominant color in K.

Is there still interest in this, particularily by the persons who select the flash components? Please give feedback here on the thread or by email in case that such a measurement is still useful at this point.

Ok I did this today, and this is what I got.

Target: My N900 was bought some 3-6 months after market introduction. The aparture of the camera/flash unit had a blue-colored tint on the edges, which was neutralized with black ink. To measure the flash color, I turned on the "flashlight" mode. I am not sure if this is a low current mode and if the current influences the color, but it is easier to measure. Let me know when this is not good enough.

Tools: x-Rite i1Pro2 and ArgyllCMS 1.8.3

Measurement 1: spotread -a -N

For this measurement I used the ambient light adapter and had the phone shining into the sensor from a distance of maybe 2 cm.

Code:

 Result is XYZ: 10381.329780 11168.856635 10074.093410, D50 Lab: 542.634253 -29.250888 -29.109195

 Ambient = 11168.9 Lux, CCT = 5675K (Delta E 9.687946)

 Suggested EV @ ISO100 for 11168.9 Lux incident light = 12.1

 Closest Planckian temperature = 5403K (Delta E 8.488890)

 Closest Daylight temperature  = 5517K (Delta E 4.974792)

 Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 70.1 [ R9 = -37.7 ]

 Television Lighting Consistency Index 2012 (Qa) = 48.5

Measurement 2: illumread -v -N

This measurement consists of 3 individual measurements. The first is of the flash shining directly into the sensor, and I used the a similar setup as before (ambient light adapter, approx 2 cm). The second measurement is reflected from paper, and I used vanilla office printer paper and an angle of 45 degrees approx. The third measurement is the paper color itself, and I use the normal spot reading setup. The last two measurements are supposed to clue about the UV contents of the light source.

Hopefully this helps for your project. I really liked the N900. To me it was a little laptop in my pocket, with SSH openvpn and rdesktop. Now I am on Android and I really miss these things. On Android, you can only do what you are supposed to do (much like on the N9, which ended the the drawer after just 2 days). Sometimes I still use the N900 as laptop replacement on short trips, and I wish someone would offer a modern device for developers.

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900

@jetmarc
Many thanks! This is extremely helpful.

re flashligt mode: yes that is with reduced LED current, the LEDs would burn out at full power used during flashing for longer than 1 or 2 seconds. It's also known that there been a greenish hue aberration in iirc macro mode before iirc PR1.2 drivers.

I guess the results from your test are good enough to determine which color binning we should use for the LEDs, however if it doesn't cause too much of a hassle to you, a short reference colortemp test with flash mode would be welcome - to extend the flash duration you should cover the cam lens.

Again many thanks
cheers

Thanks a lot, this is great data ! A question about interpreting the color temperatures:

Quote:

Code:

 Ambient = 11168.9 Lux, CCT = 5675K (Delta E 9.687946)

 Closest Planckian temperature = 5403K (Delta E 8.488890)

 Closest Daylight temperature  = 5517K (Delta E 4.974792)

I realize that there is a lot to know about light that I didn't even know I didn't know ;-) Of these three, would "CCT" (approx. 5700 K) be the one that corresponds to the CCT parameter of the LED ?

In the L130 series, we get to choose between nominal CCT values of 5000 K and 5700 K (or values further out). Each also comes with fairly large tolerances, e.g., 5500 K would still seem to be within the "best" tolerance bin of the nominally 5700 K LED.

The color binning is shown in figure 16 of
http://www.lumileds.com/uploads/461/DS209-pdf

Quote:

Code:

Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 70.1 [ R9 = -37.7 ]

I'm very happy about this one. I had been a bit worried about the CRI, since the best we can get at 5700 K is 80%, and I wasn't sure if the "missing" 20% would be a problem. But this is actually even one step better than the original then.

Code:

Thanks a lot ! The curve does indeed look like the 5700 K curve of the L130.

Again, thanks a lot ! It's always better to have solid data to rely on than guesswork, no matter how sophisticated.

I did a quick search for material supporting that LED current would directly affect color, but didn't find anything. However, I did find that junction temperature has a significant effect on color:

The short version:
http://www.lrc.rpi.edu/programs/NLPI...s/LED/heat.asp

A much longer analysis:
http://www.digikey.com/en/articles/t...er-pwm-dimming

Alas, the data sheet only shows (figure 3) that the LED gets less bright when hotter, but doesn't mention any effect on color.

In any case, the L130 specification is based on a steady state with the junction temperature held at 25 C. Measurements that do not control the junction temperature should therefore read a little higher, but given the low torch current of only 50 mA [1], I wouldn't expect a significant deviation. Thus, the measurement results should be more than sufficient for the purpose of component selection.
