Gemini PDA - Hardware / Puzzled about USB configuration

« on: April 26, 2018, 06:41:37 am »

Has anyone tried to:

Left USB C = Planet Computers hub.  Connect to keyboard, mouse, ethernet, charger.
Right USB C = Planet Computers HDMI adapter

Essentially desktop usage mode.

Can it charge through the PC hub on the left port?

I can confirm that it does not charge through the PC hub in the left port. Which means your scenario lacks a power source (and given the increased power drain, means that desktop usage is limited).

Slightly disappointing.

Gemini PDA - Hardware / Microsoft Wedge Keyboard

thanks a lot, Rob!
the dialogue what disappears maybe a problem of Android: also here it appears only 1 or 2 seconds, than disappears, so I must memorise the six numbers and type in the keyboard soon (with enter) first of the grey label become black, otherwise it cannot be paired. A mess!
This problem is a real problem when I want to use it both with iPad and Android: iPad pair it immediately, Android not.
But when it works it is very good.
For the key mapping External Keyboard Helper pro (EKH) that consent to redefine keys and other and with my Italian setup it is better than the internal system. When I don't nee the Microsoft keyboard I could use the internal layout, when I nee it I choose EKH and in Linux (English layout) I've the Italian mapping. Only in X xterm has almost all Italian keys but not the slash (/) over the 7 key: it returns a "?" instead: I don't understand how to get it...

Salvo

You describe exactly what happens with my Gemini. It doesn't happen with some other Android devices.

EKH may solve any problems you encounter, but please be aware that the Gemini relies on its own keyboard application. It may not play nicely with EKH.

The keyboard mostly works, but the key mapping isn't 100%. On my UK Wedge and UK Gemini I can't find @, for example. More than one key produces | (pipe). I haven't tried adjusting the Gemini's keymap.

Hope that helps.

Rob

On my UK Gemini I have @ on the bottom of 'K', Fn+K. Not on yours?

Ah, sorry, should have been clearer: both my Gemini and Wedge have @ keys, but I can't seem to find which key *on the Wedge* actually produces that symbol. Given that I get more than one "|" there may not be one.

Hi

After a number of attempts I got my Microsoft Wedge keyboard to pair with the Gemini. The dialogue with the pairing code frequently disappears, making the process a bit hit-or-miss.

Once paired it stays connected.

The keyboard mostly works, but the key mapping isn't 100%. On my UK Wedge and UK Gemini I can't find @, for example. More than one key produces | (pipe). I haven't tried adjusting the Gemini's keymap.

Hope that helps.
