And if you don't like DHCP you can also compile the StripInvaders Firmware with a static IP assigned. Hope that helps cheers Hey Robert

I've tried a few turtioials and downloaded some third party software. Just wondering what you used. I'm Windows 7. Is there a particular tutorial you followed? cheers Hello Michu,

As long you don't connect 5V to the 3.3V connector, you cannot blow anything. Take a look at Seeedstudios Wiki: http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/index.php?title=Stem_-_Base_Shield

I'm so close I don't want to blow anything!! It could be and idea to have a photo without the base shield... Hey again, almost there,

But the recordings are encrypted to only allow playback on the TV they were recorded -> maybe this? There also is an exploit for the Allegro Rompager Webserver:: http://www.securiteam.com/exploits/5XP0M0UCUO.html But I'm no expert on how to use this.

I don't have the POE version nor a POE injecter. But I guess it depends on the injector.

]]> Comment on Serial Latency: Teensy vs. Arduino by Jordan http://neophob.com/2011/04/serial-latency-teensy-vs-arduino/#comment-504 Jordan Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:16:40 +0000 http://neophob.com/?p=1025#comment-504 I stumbled on this page when trying to build a PS3 mouse adapter. I was thinking about buying the FT232RL serial-usb-converter breakout board at Sparkfun (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/718), to use with a Teensy board... Now, I understood probably 1% of what was stated in this article, and I really have no clue what any of this means (I'm just building this adapter with the aid of pictures). But, stumbling upon this page tells me one thing... that certain Arduino products may have latency issues. Well, latency is a big deal in the gaming community, and I was wondering; does any of this latency-talk apply to the FT232RL product? It looks like an Arduino product. If so, I might as well settle for the CP2102 serial to USB converter. This may be a very misinformed question, which I understand completely, and these Arduino latency issues may not even apply to the FT232RL converter I mentioned at all.

Regarding the Encryption: With my model, a xxpfl5xxx, if you want to record something (regardless of timeshift or normal) the TV wants to format a connected HDD. The manual states, that you cant use this HDD in this condition otherwise. This could either be because its formated for Linux, or because its encrypted. In latter case, maybe its made with the same method and key as the firmware, because it has to be decoded again, and why use a second key for this. That would add cost. Other possibility would be jointspace. Your articel is now 2 years old, and it has probably more functions now than then. First the webserver is now in use with xxPFL5xx6 to xxPFL9xx6 models. Via port 1925 you can use some GET and two POST methods. SO no big deal for rooting I gues. But Jointspace has a lot of methods in use. With this you can prorgamm software which is executed on your PC but shown on your TV. So maybe, if there is a weakness in their drawing function it is possible to activate telnet through a pufferoverflow or something like this. (For example there is software for just showing your monitor on TV via ethernet or for playing Doom, controlled by remotecontrol http://jointspace.sourceforge.net/download.html ) Well, I’m no pratitioner, but maybe 2 cents from me.
