Pigface333 Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Soooo, I decided to try out a portable soloution for the Mark V. I bought a 12v chargable battery, with 2000mAh of sweet power. It all seemed to work fine when I couldn`t connect through the web interface, nor ssh. I tried to connect with the regular adapter and set everything to system defaults but I experienced the same problem. Any ideas? Need answers ASAP!!! Quote
Pigface333 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Oh, might want to add that I got an "Unindentified network" error when connecting with LAN on Windows 8 Quote
Rkiver Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Ok so the usual questions, What is the full output from the battery, Voltage and Amperage, how are you connecting the Pineapple to the battery? Quote
Pigface333 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 DC Barrel, 12.6V and 2 amps Quote
Pigface333 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Posted November 29, 2015 Ok, so I connected it to my Kali laptop and everything seemed to work fine. Probably a connection problem in Windows 8. More investigation is needed, but thanks for the help ;) Quote
barry99705 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Windows 8, the flop in the flip/flop good/bad windows release schedule. Quote
Pigface333 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 Yep, my school thinks that Windows 8 is "more stable" than Windows 10 apparently, so yeeey :\ Quote
Rkiver Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Yep, my school thinks that Windows 8 is "more stable" than Windows 10 apparently, so yeeey :\ More stable....I'd go with more mature an OS. Windows 10 is still VERY new, and as such a lot of things don't have drivers for them yet, especially when it comes to large scale printers. This makes supporting a school rather difficult. As with any OS release, be in Windows or Mac OSX for example, anytime it's a major new release, it takes time for companies to release new drivers to support the new OS. I certainly wouldn't roll out Windows 10 in a school, and I have advised the schools I am the sysadmin for to not. I would even say to not do windows 8 or 8.1. For now I advise stick with 7 as it's stable and works. And in the meantime show them the joys of linux and raspberry pi..... Quote
naruichia Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Can you send the link of the battery that you bought? Quote
barry99705 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Heh, don't mention Windows 10 to Mr_Protocol! He's been having video driver issues since the upgrade. Quote
Pigface333 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 Can you send the link of the battery that you bought? Yeah, I don`t remember the link, but if you watch the harware overview video for the Mark V you`ll see the big blue battery. Scale that down a bit and you have my battery. You can find them very cheaply on ebay. I think I bought mine for under $12... Quote

What sucks is not having bash though. It`s always awkward changing between the windows command prompt and bash. Damn you Microsoft... Quote
