16.04 – How to eliminate EDID checksum errors? – Ask Ubuntu

Set the video settings for kernel boot options via grub:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Add this line, or change it to this, or add this to the current line (if you know what you’re doing). You can adjust the mode_options, the most import magic is nomodeset and noedid, minimally you can try just adding the noedid:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_options=1024x768-16@60,mtrr=0,scroll=ywrap,noedid"

This turns off KMS mode switching in the kernel; Use the uvesafb frame buffer; Set it to a resolution of 1024×768, with a depth of 16 at 60 Hz sync rate (other options can be 1920x1080-16, or 1600x1200-32@50, depends on your hardware) ; disable the memory type range registers (mtrr) for the framebuffer; enable display panning in a wrap-around mode, using VESA protected mode; do not probe the display to check for edid data. When you switch over to it or connect it to a monitor, then it should be set to that mode (already).

sudo update-grub

To make the grub settings get written to your /boot. Reboot and check it’s working, with noedid you won’t necessarily get a working display if you plug a different monitor in, possibly it could break (eg if the frequency is set higher than the display can handle; though I think modern displays avoid this).

Ethernet Cable Clip Repair by kohlmaker

These are replacement clips to fix broken ethernet cable clips. The clips attach to the Ethernet cable and replace the broken clip so that the cable stays locked into an Ethernet port. EDIT – For some reason Simplify3d doesn’t like this model. Cura works EDIT 2 – I recently posted some newer models that reflect the exact dimension per the Ethernet spec… that said I am not sure they work better or worse than the original design. I printed a few and tested them and they seem to work the same as the original design. Thanks to everyone who has downloaded these and posted comments! Enjoy!

The Ultimate box maker by Heartman

The file include now the Panel Maker. Check below in the Experimental area to download it. this project… My first try with OpenScad, the box is fully customizable. I hope you will enjoy with it, and will show us many boxes made with. If you play with the Fillet value you will go from the sharp to the round sides box If you want a chanfered box, set Resolution to 1. To export each single piece, just set the other elements to No value. The Top and Bottom Shells are the same, so it’s not necessary to export them two times, except if you use the PCB feet option. Check the animation below to see how to design your own box. You can change the text shape with any font listed here . Have fun 😉 Feb 12 2016 Minor bug fixed on unaligned hole when using more than 2mm thickness. March 01 2016 Added the decoration/holes options. (Thanks Ettie for your contribution) March 09 2016 Added PCB feet support, fixed the shell artefact on export mode. March 01 2018It Seems, since few month the online customizer doesn’t works, some lib missing. it’s not under my hands, ask to makerbot/thingiverse staff. THE solution is, downloading the newest – Development Snapshot – release of Openscad software and activate in the Edit>preference>features menu and check the “Enable customizer” option. link:OpenScad-Customizer Please, read as well. The PCB feet dimensions are all starting from the foot axis center. it’s not the circuit board size, holes center only(!) Check below, some animated pictures showing how to use the Ultimate Box maker online.
