Wire size and position – Where to buy

by

As usual NIERLE is the best place for that: it’s not a store with any specific cables but it’s cheaper than other and I was used to buy there in the past.

Wire size and position – AWG vs Metric

by


There is a list based on diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire.
Here a complete Table of AWG wire sizes.
Speakers instructions reported:

  • For short runs of less then 20 feet or so you can use 18 gauge wire
  • For runs of more than 50 feet use 16 gauge wire

Based on the table above:

  • 18 AWG ( <=20 feet / <=6m )
    • Diametre = 1.024 mm
    • Turns of wire = 9.77 per cm
    • Area = 0.823 mm^2
    • Copper resistence = 20.95 Ohm/km
  • 17 AWG ( 20-50 feet / 6-15 m)
    • Diametre = 1.150 mm
    • Turns of wire = 8.70 per cm
    • Area = 1.04 mm^2
    • Copper resistence = 16.61 Ohm/km
  • 16 AWG ( > 50 feet / > 15 m)
    • Diametre = 1.291 mm
    • Turns of wire = 7.75 per cm
    • Area = 1.31 mm^2
    • Copper resistence = 13.17 Ohm/km

Home System measure

List of required cable based on real installation =

Total of cables requested =

  • 16 AWG = 8.5m + 11.5m + 9.5m + (1.5m x3 ) = 35m – 114.8 feet
  • 18 AWG = 1.5m + 1.5m + 1.5m + (1.5m x3) = 10m – 32.8 feet

Base on this power table cable selection, I should use AWG 16 and AWG 12 with a system of 100 Watts.

Yamaha Surround 5.1 – Silver Color for Samsung UE40C6510

by

After a comparison of surround 5.1 system
Even if Samsung has AnyNet+ to manage all Samsung devices together with 1 remote controller, they do not offer any Surround System white / silver to match TV color.

So I moved over to wide the companies and found the new generation of AV system by Yamaha.

It’s splitted in 2 pieces:

According to Kelkoo.it it’s should be able to find both for less €500

WDLXTV-Live Firmware

WDLXTV-Live is a souped up unofficial firmware for the Western Digital WD TV Live. It is based off of the 1.02.21 firmware, but with many extra features. This is a permanent flash, just like an official upgrade. It enables a wide range of extra functionality which is missing from the official firmware, such as bittorrent, webserver, NZB, SSH, FTP, NFS, etc.

Different Version

  • Normal = The Normal version requires Flashing the Firmware into the WDTV Live
  • Minimal = The Minimal version is the same as the Normal version, but without php, python, perl, nzbget, deluge, lighttpd
  • Ext3 = This version is used for testing purposes. It is identical to the normal flashed version. The main difference is that ext3-boot-live is pivoted into and run directly off your external device. This means ext3-boot-live gives you full read/write permissions.

To flash firmware
Place wdtvlive.bin on a memory stick along with wdtvlive.ver and insert it into your WDTV Live.
When asked if you want to upgrade your firmware, say yes.
The WDTV Live will reboot and after several minutes the whole flashing process will complete and reboot again.
Upon successful flash you will see WDLXTV_Live in the about screen of system settings.
The firmware no longer needs to be on anything attached to the WDTV Live.
Downgrade instructions are always provided at the bottom of the README which is included in every release’s zip.
