Beta / Re: Announcement Impressions

« on: 11:59 AM - 02/03/14 »

OK 

I have one BT coming, which is 4.0, and the order I made at Mouser...if this BT works, I will cancel the second option.

I understand it. But as the BT plays a "small" rol in the beta's architecture, transferring data from PC to Edge, (that's what I understand, forgive me if I am wrong) why has it to be from a particular vendor? Many people are having problems in getting it.

BT plays a huge role. It's how you do all of the configuration now. The reason it's coming from a particular vendor is because it's the only reliable adapter that uses the same chip that XIM4 will use.

Better postpone the launch till Digi or Mouser has enough stock, how about that? 

The beta won't have wired config. The whole point if the beta is to test out the new features which are dependent upon the Bluetooth

The owner's family, two sons and three nephews, took it from you 

Mouser screwed me. Said 5 were in stock and ready to ship immediately when I ordered and  it even went down to 4 after I ordered. Now it says backorered until the 17th.

Nice Kolo! Great help in explaining in his native language! 

Ciao, io ti rispondo nella nostra lingua, per dirti che cmq non dovrebbe essere tassativo l'acquisto di quel tipo di hub usb ma soltanto del dongle.
io li ho ordinati entrambi da farnell italia per un totale che con iva e spedizione arriva a € 47
ma come hub ho preso un 2 porte da 9 € circa.
Cmq per chi ti consiglia CronusMax, io lo sto utilizzando e funziona egregiamente con ximedge ...(non ho aggiornato all'ultimissimo firmware di CS ma sono sempre a 1.39 mi pare), unico neo è non possibilita' di utilizzare le cuffie, cosa che invece XIM4E dovrebbe prevedere. A questo punto considerando anche il prezzo del cronus ti conviene partecipare alla beta ed essere utile anche allo sviluppo del nuovo xim

cmq se poi vuoi parlarne sul live io sono "il grande kolo"

ciaoooo.

They (mouser) already charged my credit card...they better have it soon! 

BTW, sorry about this question but I still did not understand the function of the BT:
 
Left Port: USB Hub with your Mouse and Keyboard/Gameboard
Middle Port: Console Controller Xbox One (via micro-USB cable), or Xbox 360, or Dualshock 3 (charged)
Right Port: Your Bluetooth adapter (what is its function?) 

GOT THE ANSWER IN OTHER POST! 

Just got myself the adapter and hub Obsiv said to get. The one place doesn't have the adapters in stock but the other place digi key or whatever does. Got 2nd day shipping. Let it begin!!!!

Yeah unfortunately I couldn't order from Digikey, even when using a VPN it recognized I'm in Japan. I had to use Mouser to ship to an FPO address. Here's hoping that Mouser gets stock in earlier than they say. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Digikey: BT820

"Due to U.S. export controls, we are unable to add this item to your order."

I am screwed up 

the same problem with me...OBsIV, what is/are the characteristics we have to look for in other adapter? Chip A10? V2? Thanks 

@OBsIV that's understandable, but such a rip off to send one to Australia $40 shipping on top of the price of dongle lol

You can certainly try the ones you have already when the Beta firmware is released.

Thanks ObsIV 

Bluetooth adapter e-blue V4 + EDR
Should it work?

We are very close on closing on the BT adapter used for the Beta. If all goes well, it will be announced this weekend. Then, mid-next week the Beta will start.

I understand that Beezles...small problem for me is that I live in the middle of the Amazon jungle, there are not so many options of adapters around here, and if I order via ebay, it may take up to a month to arrive :-)

Anyway...I hope to know it soon. 

Bluetooth adapter e-blue V4 + EDR

no idea, but when OBsIV releases the info - you'll know about it

I hope it is worldwide available...dont care about the price. 

k-crip, I apologize if there were members of the community confusing things concerning release. The Beta is ready. The issue is finding a reliable source of Bluetooth adapters for exiting Edge owners so that can test out the XIM4 firmware. There are a couple of vendors on Amazon with compatible $10 adapters (with Prime shipping) -- which is great. But, the quality/stability of these adapters are terrible. I'd say 1 out of 4 either outright don't work or fail to initialize often. We are trying to locate a better source of Bluetooth adapters for the Beta.

Yes, the retail Edge hardware has never changed.

So, it is the BT adapter, which is the "bad boy"...cant we do this without it? 

I hope this BT adapter is readily available...is it really mandatory to beta? (still didn't quite understand its necessity, sorry  )

We are working very closely with the Alpha testers and are finding bugs that are being addressed. Most of the Android issues have been fixed and we have XIM Manager running on all sorts of hardware from Kitkat all the way back to Gingerbread (which is just about all Android devices out there).

We are currently blocked on the BT adapter. We have an $10 equivalent to what we will be shipping with on Amazon worldwide, but, it's giving some of our testers issues. We need to fix these before the Beta goes out.

« on: 06:30 AM - 01/20/14 »

This is something I quite didn't understand yet...
I have iPhone too...will it really be necessary to connect through cel phone?
Now I use Edge, which does not need any cel or BT adapter. Why cannt it be just like old Edge?

« on: 06:42 PM - 01/14/14 »

Any news about the BT adapter, I mean, can I buy any adapter at this moment?

The last news I read about it was "Its going to be BT4 unless Orbital tells me otherwise (...)"

I am asking this because I would like to have it already when Beta arrives (there are a lot of adapter out there). Or will I be able to beta without BT adapter?

Thank you

There will be a lot of information flying around once the beta starts. I know everyone is anxious about it. mist already has a build and has reported a lot of good bugs. Orbital is working through a couple BT connection issues with the phone. Once he is done I'll pass another build to mist (likely tonight, maybe tomorrow). Based on his feedback, I'll then forward to the Alpha testers.
