    digging for new water connection

    In order to get a new water connection I have to dig under the wooden underfloor (crawl space) and lay a blue water pipe + 100mm conduct to connect to the water mains just outside of the perimeter of my property. Is this an easy job? Do I have to drill the wall/foundations under the soil? (that...

    thick plaster coat to hide rising damp?

    So, even a small gap is useful then....maybe it's worth planning ahead in how to use the low expansion foam (no problem with dot and dab) - i.e. ideally the foam sealant should allow a continuous stream of air, so the moisture is free to circulate from the bottom to the top of the wall? About...

    thick plaster coat to hide rising damp?

    Removing some plaster of an old terrace house is proving to be more problematic than I initially thought. Hacking the plaster from about 1m up from the floor level is relatively easy (the plaster is probably a lime mixture) on the lower area the plaster is very hard and I believe there was a...

    installing a boiler onto plasterboard and insulation...

    [/url] maybe I can cut a small area for the ply - enough to cover the boiler's bracket - let's say a rectangle of about 400mm x 200mm...

    installing a boiler onto plasterboard and insulation...

    I've read already some posts addressing this topic but most of them are about installing a boiler onto plasterboard without any insulation behind (just a void of 2-2.5cm... In my case there is a 40mm urethane board (Celotex, Kingspan type) between thermalite blocs (the wall) and the 12mm...

    powering an usb audio interface without a pc or laptop....

    Update: while waiting for some usb otg cables arriving from China...I've managed to power up the edirol using an A20 tablet fitted with otg cable - it works perfectly, and it allows to play/record continuously for more than 2 hours - this with "plug-in power" microphone and some effects...

    No channells on my TV freeview.

    c'mon then, tell us all about your shop then :D I haven't tried, but I bet you should find dentures on Amazon too (where have you been the last 10 odd years?) :wink: :roll:

    powering an usb audio interface without a pc or laptop....

    4th solution.....a cheap Android A13 tablet for under £30 (OTG cable included) - this should kill the Raspberry PI option for good (imho) - why? Because there is no need for extra battery....then the tablet is ready for use for other stuff too - while the Raspberry PI requires all other extra...

    powering an usb audio interface without a pc or laptop....

    Roland's reply: There is no way to power up the Edirol UA-4fx without a PC I'm afraid...we can only suggest to use a small Netbook instead. Sort of expected really....(no they didn't bother pushing the Roland BR800). So, one of the 3 solutions is gone. Now, let's wait for the usb host...

    powering an usb audio interface without a pc or laptop....

    Danechip....have your read my previous messages? The processing is done within the Edirol itself (why people don't get the fact first?) - it does everything when plugged via USB to a dumb Fostex MR8 (an old recorder which happen to have a usb host for a cd writer). Your toothbrush example...

    powering an usb audio interface without a pc or laptop....

    The Edirol isn't that energy demanding - unless one want to use a condenser mic which require 48v - note that the 48v switch is located on the bottom (not exactly hidden, but...) - like an extra feature which might be left alone most of the time....condenser microphones are generally more...

    powering an usb audio interface without a pc or laptop....

    Some USB devices use both DC plug and USB type 2 - still these are USB compliant... For a device like the Edirol it seem so weird they didn't thing of making it more palatable to e.g. buskers - it's small, light and very versatile - plug any type of microphone (even condenser type) mix the...

    powering an usb audio interface without a pc or laptop....

    naah...just a little bit of controversy to spice things up really - beside, it goes against my own interests in making enemies from the other side Lack of diplomacy, that's all - someone got 35 years in jail yesterday for being "too open"....I won't. Bottom line? They'll always find a way...

    powering an usb audio interface without a pc or laptop....

    missed that one about the "strategy".... here's my hint: Their strategy has nothing to do with leaving the handshake "lock" (that's debatable anyway)....their strategy is to leave the Edirol without any DC socket (that way it would be easily fed with external batteries) then they tell us all -...

    powering an usb audio interface without a pc or laptop....

    "That cable adaptor" should link the battery pack (and juice) to the smartphone which in turn is going to pass the juice to the Edirol - that's what I've understood...not very efficient maybe but in theory it should work (I hope).

    well, I'll plug the OTG adaptor on the battery pack then... Still, I've just seen some OTG adapters which take care of linking smartphone and battery pack...

    powering an usb audio interface without a pc or laptop....

    Danechip gave us an idea of why a simple battery pack doesn't work (a sort of hardware "handshake" is needed). I suspect you are on the other side (are you?)....never mind - if I was on that side I'd probably would do the same and I wouldn't tell the truth cos' I'd be making less money - since...

    powering an usb audio interface without a pc or laptop....

    that would be a neat solution...I always carry my smart-phone with me - it is similar in size to my usb battery pack, although I don't think it can provide the same "stamina"....for £1-2 for a OTG adapter it is well worth trying.

    powering an usb audio interface without a pc or laptop....

    First of all....your idea that the Edirol needs a PC/laptop to "think" is wrong - I've plugged a "very dumb" Fostex MR8 which has a USB host port (to connect a CD writer) and the Edirol turned on and worked perfectly...(case closed). Second point: Some functions in certain electronic devices...
