Many 200 Mb/s powerline adapters nowadays are based on the INTELLON 6300 chipset. Despite what can be thought looking at them, they are all using the same hardware and firmwares. I heard many people with Netgear XAV101 or Linksys PLK 200 or PLE 200 having problems after firmware updates and many other people with other brands having much more problems because of lack of support or configuration/upgrade utilities. So let me explain a few things I learnt studying them. Many of 200 Mb/s powerline ethernet adapters follow the "HomePlug AV" standard. (85 Mb adapters use HomePlug 1.0 standard which is completely different). This standard uses ethernet broadcast packets using the HomePlug AV protocol. The interesting thing is that their firmware is made of two different parts: a .PIB file (Parameter Information Block) and a .NVM file (the code itself). In the P.I.B. there are many interesting things: The branding (mac address, device name, etc) and the tone map. I test
Zibri, I think my son would love this toy. Did you find it anywhere in Italy? I'm also interested in the hacking part of the toy, of course...
ReplyDeletePlease let me know if you bought it in Italy or over the internet... che me lo vado subito a comprare!
Cheers

ReplyDeletedo you have any idea if this is able to recognize what you think? or it just detects how "hard" you are thinking? It's very interesting... Does this have anything to do with BB's unlocking procedure?

This is awesome! Zibri I am an engineering student at a university in South Africa, I would really love to use this in a project or something. My programming background is pretty weak though :-( please could you provide more info on how you connected the force trainer to a computer (and the coding involved). Thanks very much Zibri, I'm a huge fan of your work!
ReplyDeleteI have a force star war trainer
ReplyDeletethat when I connect the headset TX and RX I put the arduino and the land of the crown to the other land arduino not read any data in the serial monitor
