For some weeks I have a Roomba, but I didn’t have time to write about it yet. Today I made a video while it was cleaning the floor in the room. Its a very nice tool, since me and my wife don’t like vacuming that much. The only thing bothering is the amount of hair getting stuck in the brushes and the fact that it has to be cleaned, selfcleaning would be awesome. But at least the carpet gets cleaner with Roomba.
I was struggeling with the backlight quite for a while now. But finally I found something which finally works.
First you need git core installed
sudo aptitude install git-core
Next you checkout the module
git clone git://git.myrix.net/pana_acpi
The next step is compiling and loading the module
cd ./pana_acpi
make
make install
modprobe panasonic_acpi
At this point you can already check if the brightness buttons are working.
Next copy ./pana_acpi/acpi/* to /etc/acpi
and restart the acpid daemon.
/etc/init.d/acpid restart
This module should work on all the 7-Series from Panasonic. I only tried it out with my CF-R7.
I was quite shocked when I read the tag on my PS3 which says 110V.
The PS3 is the crystal white one I got in Japan. So the first thing when I was back home, open the whole thing to see whats under the hood. That whole procedure already happened back in March but thats how the internal psu looks like.
So don’t worry of connecting an JP PS3 to the 230V power system in Europe. It should work as I heard from several forums as well.
