Testing Summary: 4 February 2011 - Auckland, New Zealand Who: Alana, Charlotte, Fabiana, Oliver, Rachel, Tom, Tabitha Sridhar at OLPC Australia kindly sent us one of their XO-1.5s with AVC touchpad. We named this one Rosella. He also sent us a keyboard assembly to replace Tank's which was sent back to Qanta last year and two wifi modules to replace the ESD damaged units in Tank and Poppy Copy. We installed the new keyboard in Tank today. Speak on XO-1 os882 on mesh network On Moodle, Speak speaks, on Tux, there is no sound from any activity. When Tux shares Speak, you can join it from the neighbourhood on Moodle, but Speak starts in the "speak what I can type" mode. If you change to the voice chat mode, you find that you have actually joined the shared activity. When Moodle sends a message in Voice Chat, Moodle repeats the message out loud but when moodle recieves a message, Moodle does not speak the message out loud. Speak on XO-1.75 os26 on access point network Started a new speak on Sundance Switched to voice chat - got the warning about sharing and inviting Shared activity On kid, selected Sundance's speak activity in the neighbourhood Got the "say what you type" mode on kid, on Sundance, saw kid join On Kid, switch to Voice chat mode and get the warning about sharing, even though it is shared Same behavior as on XO-1, both laptops say what you type into them, but do not speak messages received Suspend sometimes took a long time (many 10s of seconds) to trigger instead of the normal 20s. Activity seems to be tolerant of suspend -- messages arrive fairly shortly after resume When sundance re-starts speak, it is still shared, but switching to voice chat mode presents the warning about being in offline mode Conclusion: Speak's Voice Chat feature behaves identically on XO-1 os882 and XO-1.75 os26 and has the same bugs. Sundance - build os26 customised Sugar 0.94.1 firmware Q4D02 Successfully changed time to Auckland. Tested: browse, stopwatch, tamtam mini, maze, implode, infoslicer, record, physics, paint, write, memorize, clock, speak, moon, labyrinth, measure, pippy, turtleart, ruler, finance, portfolio. Had the following fails: Browse - crash on big picture not fixed Record - can't tell difference between low and high quality pictures or videos. Speak - voice chat issues as described Pippy - fail message on inputting 1 and 1 in Life. Finance - first colours that the activity chose for categories were very close (two shades of orange) which made it hard to differentiate them in the pie graph. au84 on XO-1.5: Flipsticks 10 failed to start. Touchpad Testing! The following tests were performed on battery on a wooden table. Temperature was at least 25C with quite high humidity. For the most part we did not pay attention to where the rest of our limbs and appendages were. We tested three laptops, one in two different configurations: Rosella - XO-1.5 AVC touchpad, au85, factory configuration. For second "4F" round, ran relevant section of olpc-configure obtained from kid's os26. Sundance - XO-1.75 C1 Synaptics touchpad, os26 Kid - XO-1.75 C1 AVC touchpad, os26 Tom using Rosella factory settings No movement during hold test Circle test difficult with small 13 activity ring -- circle too large to fit on touch pad, but if you follow it faster the acceleration makes it very difficult to follow a circle. Following a smaller circle around the XO figure's head in the activity ring seems to be better but often shoots off in a straight line -- possibly because of acceleration cutting in. Finger rolling terrible. Spiral quite good if drawn slowly. Some evidence of inaccurate tracking as you get smaller in the middle. Can't draw a spiral more than 1/3 of the screen without drawing it fast which just makes a mess. Corner to Corner easy and repeatable Tom using Rosella 4F No movement during the hold test Circle test reasonably easy to follow small 13 activity ring Following smaller circle also easy Finger rolling good Spiral not that great, quite a lot of unintended straight lines, and moderately difficult to avoid crossing previous lines Corner to corner easy and repeatable General conclusion is the updated configuration makes the best case behaviour for most tests a little worse but dramatically improves the finger rolling. Tabitha using Sundance No movement during hold test Circles were good Finger rolling good Spirals quite good Corner to corner not possible in one swipe (Rachel confirmed this one test too) Tom using Kid No movement during hold test Corner to Corner difficult, often end up on the side rather than in the corner, occasionally get to the corner. Rachel using Kid No movement during the hold test Circle test not great, quite jerky and more going in a square Finger rolling good Difficult to do good spirals, likes to do straight lines instead of curves Corner to corner not really possible, get to within 2cm of the other corner. Thanks Tabitha
