factorio lcd display free sample

CLK - clock, that gives our machine synchronisation. Our modern CPUs are capable of doing 4-5GHz (4-5 000 000 000 Hz). My current setup allows to run it on 2 Hz, below that limitations of Factorio logic gates comes into place as each input have to be calculated for each Combinator (gate) so if we have 10 in a row we have to wait 10 game ticks (fps) before we can clock the system once more - otherwise the signals will mess up and the calculation wouldn"t be performed.

Registers hold (store) values. In normal life, we would have to make each of those for each of 8 bits and other signals. But fortunately, Factorio allows multiple signal on one line. They are basically J-K flip flops.

First, we make register, that input is controlled with signal [P]. Then, we multiply each bit with its value, in process converting it to decimal to get same signal with decimal value (it"s kinda factorio cheating, but lack of programmable EEPROMs here doesn"t allow us for much play there). To convert, we just need to get first bit [0] and multiply it by *1, then take second bit [1] and multiply *2, 3rd [2] * 4.. and so on. In process we just take output to some arbitrary value that we will use to determine which number we have (in this case [WATER DROPLET]).

LCD is lit by 9 stages for numbers (3). We just need to set on lamps which stages fits where (1), and then use gates (2) to output value where exactly we want. Just remember to get separate constant combinator (3) and hook it only to one special gate (2). Then just wire up all lamps together and give them instructions in which stage they are (1).

Now let say, we want to perform action OUT - which takes whatever is in A register and prints in on the LCD/screen (register). To do it manually, we just need to turn on (by turning off constant combinator for specific letter) signal [K] (A register out -> bus) and signal [P] (bus - > lcd/screen register in), then clock CLK.

One problem I had was that the display worked during the BIOS boot screen but would not work in Windows, the solution was to change the video memory in the BIOS from 256MB to 512MB now it works fine.

The trouble is (and the reason I got a new one, bought this one for low price) that the display has brownish/yellowish hue around the edges. The middle area is fine. It’s usable for normal work, but this is annoying.

Hi Ragnar, This is pretty usual. Most T440p come with the TN 1366x768 14 inches panel. It seems like this panel doesn’t age very well. I have bought multiple t440p with worn out displays: I don’t really care since I immediately replace it with the FullHD one.

My t440p doesn’t have nvidia card, but I begin to put another 8GB RAM, in the weekend will change the display…just to begin the mods!!…Yes it’s a great laptop!

Make sure to ask the seller if it’s a genuine LCD panel (and not a compatible one). Ask them which LCD they have in stock (if any). Don’t buy any compatible LCD as those are generally of poorer quality. I bought mine on Aliexpress but got one with several dead pixels, so I wouldn’t recommend the seller which I bought the unit from.

Hi Roger, I don’t really know the T440s, however it seems quite different because it relies on a ULV Intel CPU. The chassis is also a bit different (thinner). You can’t swap the CPU of a T440s, but you can definitely swap the LCD panel. However, the screens suitable for the T440s might be different. I suggest you to ask on Reddit Thinkpads. It’s the single most valuable resource regarding Thinkpads.

Thanks for the extensive review. I am on the lookout for building a T440P. The only thing that is not clear to me is which screen is considered the best so I would like your thought on this. Could you also elaborate on this: “Always make sure the item description doesn’t talk about compatible LCD”.If you could send me some links that would be great. Thank you!

Hi Jim, Just make sure you get the advertised panel, not a “compatible” one. Compatible LCD panels are equivalent to branded LCD but have usually lesser quality (lower color coverage, higher response time). Definitely not worth the money when you spend a lot to get a genuine LG panel and receive a cheap chinese copy instead.

1080p LCD: I had a B140HAN01.3 in a T430s before and found it a little dull, not bright enough. So I gave a try to the Innolux N140HCG-GQ2 rev.B1. VERY happy with the Innolux 400cdm brightness. Almost no color adjustments. BUT this Innolux does not have tabs on the rim, no way to screw it in place. My work around: (this Innolux is a lot slimmer) took the metal rim from a broken screen, did some trimming at the bottom, put 3M dbl-side tape on the rim, screwed the rim in place, and aligned the Innolux onto the rim. (Innolux is a few mm less wide than original lcd) Put back the bezel. There is light gap between the bezel and the front of the LCD, which I could get rid off by adding some shimming between the tabs and the top cover… but I did not bother… gap is not noticeable. I’m really satisfied with the screen and the installation.

Can you tell me a bit more about the solution you did to ameliorate the space between the lcd and the bezel? I also have the same problem on the bottom part of my bezel. I suspect I might have damaged a plastic connector from the bezel that is not able to stay in place when I put it back together.

Can someone plug in an external monitor into the VGA port and tell me if you can see the bios & OS in both the internal LCD and external VGA monitor at all times ?

Thanks a lot for this awesome guide. After reading it, 3 weeks ago, I purchased a unit with 4210m, 8gb, webcam, illiuminated keyboard in my language, 500GB HDD and the 1366x768 HD Display for € 129,-. Additionally, an activated, licensed Windows10 was found on the HDD.

I’ve bought mine for about $115 with a 4300M CPU, 1600x900 screen and no RAM or HDD (It was the cheapest working T440P that I could find for sale in my country, and I’ve had 16GB of 1600MHz RAM and a 240GB SSD laying around, so didn’t really care about the lack of these components). I’ve found an incredibly good deal - a synaptics T450 touchpad for $12 and I’ve bought this display: https://www.amazon.de/FTDLCD%C2%AE-N140HCE-EN1-REV-C2-Display-Bildschirm/dp/B07GFF375V/

Quick update: the display arrived shortly after writing the first comment and IT IS MAGNIFICENT. It is the real deal, and using it is an absolute pleasure

In most cases, having 2x ram sticks, hence double the memory bandwidth, only leads to marginal performance improvement unless the workload is heavily dependent on RAM bandwidth / speed. Factorio is a game which heavily uses the RAM, thus sees much higher performance gain when switching to dual channel ram.

Hi! The guide did help round out some of my build (4712, 16gb hyperx 2133, transcend 256, Han1.3), and I’m loving the ability to fix small parts when they do break (the frame for the display was cracked in a corner, easy fix). I also replaced the clunkpad with the T450 trackpad (found a synaptics for a fair price).

For anyone ebay trolling, I got an authetic B140HAN01.4 from seller lcdbeststore - I actually ordered a LP140WF3-SPD1 LP140WF3 so not really what I ordered, but it works fine and is in good condition (seems as good as new). Glossy. Linux confirms:

This is not an endorsement, just stating facts of my experience. Really not digging the 3rd party lcd screen seller drama, that’s for sure. Just happy to have a decent screen even if it’s not the one I ordered.

However, such a small conventional device is not capable of providing an adequate UI (e.g., display screen, input keys . . . ), and without an adequate UI, such small conventional devices are quite limited. For example, without the ability to easily navigate an intuitive UI, a smart device can be incapable of delivering the rich features the resident hardware and software might otherwise be capable of providing. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises computer-implemented techniques for facilitating a more robust user interface (UI) experience. In accordance with one aspect of the claimed subject matter, a smart device with a very limited UI (e.g., a small or no display screen and with just a few input mechanisms) can interface with a UI station (e.g., a device with a larger form factor and/or a richer set of IO and/or UI peripherals) in an application-agnostic manner in order to establish a UI session. In particular, the smart device configured with wireless capabilities can automatically detect UI stations within range and automatically discover a set of peripherals available on the UI stations.

Conversely, a UI station can expose extant peripherals to smart devices within communication range and allow those peripherals to be selected for use by the smart device. In accordance therewith, applications running on the smart device can utilize all or a subset of the available peripherals on the UI station. For example, output peripherals such as monitors or other displays, speakers, printing devices, etc. belonging to the UI station can be employed to display a UI for an application running on the smart device. Likewise, input peripherals of the UI station such as keyboards, pointing devices, biometric devices or the like can be utilized for collecting input for and/or navigating the UI provided by the smart device. In addition, the UI station can also provide a data store as one of the available peripherals for IO access. As a result, smart devices that are smaller, less expensive, more durable, more convenient to carry, etc. can provide a user with a very feature-rich and/or intuitive UI.

For example, one or more of the peripherals 206 can be an output device such as a CRT display, an LCD, LED configuration or another type of display. In addition, the output device can be a speaker, a printer, or substantially any output resource suitable for use with the claimed subject matter. Additionally or alternatively, one or more of the peripherals 206 can be any of a wide variety of input devices as well. Examples of common input devices include but are not limited to a keyboard, keypad, touch screen, a mouse pad or another type of pointing mechanism, a fingerprint reader or other biometric device, a magnetic stripe reader (MSR) or another type of payment instrument reader. Furthermore, one or more of the peripherals 206 can be a data store or a file system data type such as a folder, directory, partition, etc.

The UI station 104 can generally be a stationary, a quasi-stationary, or even in some cases a mobile device. Example include but are not limited to a payment or informational terminal, a kiosk, a Personal Computer (PC), Pocket PC, a laptop, a console (e.g., a game console), or substantially any device of a more suitable form factor for providing a UI in accordance with the claimed subject matter. It is to be appreciated that the UI station 104 can perform a role that is in some ways similar to a server. That is, the UI station 104 can expose several or all of the peripherals 206 to the smart device 100. Upon establishing a UI session 108 with the smart device 100, output peripherals 206 can be employed to display a Graphical User Interface (GUI) associated with the smart device 100 and input peripherals 206 can be employed to, e.g., receive data provided by a user. In addition, such as in the case where the peripheral 206 is a data store, data can be communicated to and from the smart device 100 by way of the UI session 108.

Conversely, while the smart device 100 can be employed to reschedule the traveler"s flight, the limited form factor can make this task arduous and/or time-consuming to review the flight information for a list of available flights from the various carriers. However, the UI station 104 has readily available one or several larger display devices, a full-featured keyboard, as well as identity verification devices such as certificate/token readers, biometric devices or the like. Thus, the traveler can employ the flight-scheduling application or another application that runs on top of the flight-scheduling application as the smart device application 106. For example, by simply moving the smart device 100 within range of the UI station 104, the smart device can dynamically discover the peripherals 206 (e.g., the display screen, the keyboard, the ID authentication device . . . ) that are available.

At reference numeral 7, applications running on the smart device 100 need not require any modification. In certain cases, windows, dialogs, and other UI features can be flagged for remotable display, e.g., by means of a special metadata attribute, and the extended UI API at reference numeral 6 can take care of the rest. The UI station 104 can include a hosting application for hosting the Remote UI control. The hosting application can be the only application on the UI station 104 or just one of several station applications, which can provide additional functionality. It is to be appreciated that certain hardware devices such as Pocket PCs are particularly well-suited to function as both a smart device 100 and a UI station 104. Accordingly, such devices can include features of both the smart device 100 and the UI station 104 simultaneously and, thus operate in connection with other components as a smart device 100 in some situations and as a UI station 104 in others.

Lastly, at reference numeral 8, hardware associated with a UI for each of the smart device 100 and the UI station 104 is depicted. This can include device IO hardware and device display hardware (e.g., keys, buttons, LEDs . . . for the smart device 100. For the UI station 104, the associated hardware can include a station display and a keyboard as well as many other resources/peripherals as described herein.

Jane likes to listen to music and she carries a tiny music player device (e.g., digital media player 404) with her everywhere. She can attach the music player to the lapel of her jacket, to sunglasses, or even to earrings due to the small form factor. Like Joe, she also uses the device in stores as a smart credit card. She particularly likes to work remotely from a local coffee shop near her house. One of the convenient features of coffee shop is an NFC-enabled UI device (e.g., IO terminal 504) built into their tables and bar countertops. Jane simply places her music player on the table and the UI of the player application running on the device can be displayed on the table screen. She can listen to new tracks while sitting at the table, buy songs she likes, and have those songs instantly uploaded to her player. When Jane plugs the player into her home PC (e.g., PC 510), the music player device recharges its battery and automatically synchronizes tracks between the device and her home PC music library.

The technician touches the refrigerator with a Pocket PC (e.g., Pocket PC 508) and a window of the refrigerator controller"s application is displayed on the Pocket PC screen. It indicates the compressor is steadily losing pressure, so the technician fixes the compressor. Chris is curious about the diagnostics technique, and the service technician explains that the recent trend in the industry is to standardize to the smart device 100 platform. He notices that Chris"s dishwasher also carries the “Be smarter” logo (indicating the same smart device 100 platform), although the dishwasher was not manufactured by the service technician"s company, but rather produced by a competing appliance manufacturer.

ToyCo, a prominent toy manufacturer wants to repeat the immense success of Tamachi 2.0, its prolific virtual pet. ToyCo wants the new Tamachi 3.0 (T3) to have a better way to express itself than the small mono LCD display, to be able to roam around like a Rumba-brand vacuum, take pictures with a built-in camera, and initiate conversations with its owner by leveraging its advanced artificial intelligence engine. Building a proprietary platform will take a year of R&D which puts them at risk of missing the market opportunity due to stiff competition. ToyCo decides to use the “Be smarter” platform as it has a multitasking OS, rich API, remote UI capabilities, and built-in support for a digital camera. After three months of R&D, Bandai puts together the toy and starts production.

A potential benefit of the architectures described herein can be that the smart device 100 can have a display screen of any size whether it be a color graphic screen, a two-line LCD, or no screen at all. Similarly, the smart device 100 can have a keyboard of any size, be it a Pocket PC keyboard, a small number of buttons, or even no keyboard at all, yet still have the capability to offer a robust UI to the user. In addition, the smart device 100 does not necessarily need to include cellular or WiFi hardware, but rather can include NFC hardware alone and still provide a feature-rich solution for payment and/or identification transactions or the like.

Approximately the size of a USB thumb-drive. The key fob device need not have any display. Rather the key fob device can include, e.g., two LED indicators (e.g., red and green) to indicate whether the device is on or off as well as to show progress/result of a transaction. No keyboard is required either, but an on/off button can be provided. A USB port for connecting to PC can be a standard feature as well.

A digital music player/recorder approximately the size of a small matchbook. No display is required, but rather a few LEDs (red and green) can be visible to indicate whether the device is on/off and to show progress/result of a transaction. Buttons can be provided to control the music player and a USB port for connecting to a PC.

A digital music player and a programmable remote control. Approximately the size of a pack of chewing gum with a mono LCD display. Buttons to control the music player such as arrows; ENTER, a few programmable keys, etc. and in addition, a built-in fingerprint reader.

At reference numeral 810, the peripherals to be employed by the application running on the smart device can be locked for use for the duration of the UI session. In accordance with an aspect, a peripheral can be released before the UI session terminates such as when the peripheral in question is no longer necessary for the application. At reference numeral 812, a UI for the smart device can be transmitted to the UI station. The UI station can then employ peripherals under the control of the UI station to display the UI for the smart device. At reference numeral 814, the smart device can receive data input to the UI station, e.g., by way of the input peripherals provided by the UI station.

In accordance therewith, at reference numeral 906, the UI station can expose to the smart device all the peripherals residing on the UI station as well as those peripherals that are currently available for use. At reference numeral 908, the UI station can receive a UI for the mobile device. The UI can then be displayed on output peripherals present on the UI station. In addition, the UI can be navigated by input peripherals present on the UI station. Accordingly, at reference numeral 910, data input to (e.g., input peripherals of) the UI station can be transmitted to the smart device.

A monitor 1044 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 1008 via an interface, such as a video adapter 1046. In addition to the monitor 1044, a computer typically includes other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers, printers, etc.

Persistence of vision is not the same thing as the ability to detect changes. They are in fact, opposite things. What you should be looking at is the shortest amount of time something is needed to be displayed for our brain to register a change. This is the exact opposite of persistence of vision. Because what we are after is not exactly to fool our heads to believe its a solid image or fluid movie. But edge case change detection. And the fact that you throw a bunch of neigh useless links related to persistence of vision to support your argument kinda says a lot about you missing the point of it by about the broad side of a barn.

Not sure I think there is a useful reason for a 500hz display, unless maybe used for 3d or something so it flickers between two fields with refreshrate to spare.
