The XO power socket requires a plug 5.5mm outside diameter and 1.7mm inside diameter. Radio Shack doesn't have a plug in this size. I'm using the 5.5x2.1 plug with some success (takes a little wiggling to get it going), others have had success with a 4.7x1.7mm plug (Radio Shack Adaptaplug "C", cat no. 273-1706). |

My Solar Power Setup
- Brunton Solaris 12: 12 volt flexible solar panel. UPC 0-80078-00563. Obtained from Amazon.com.
- Female-to-Female Adaptaplug Socket Cable, Radio Shack Catalog number 273-1740
- Adaptaplug "M", 5.5x2.1mm plug, Radio Shack Catalog Number 273-1716 (plug that almost fits the XO)
- Adaptaplug "N", 5.5x2.5mm plug, Radio Shack catalog number 273-1717 (plug that fits the solar panel)
The XO power socket requires a plug 5.5mm outside diameter and 1.7mm inside diameter. Radio Shack doesn't have a plug in this size. I'm using the 5.5x2.1 plug with some success (takes a little wiggling to get it going), others have had success with a 4.7x1.7mm plug (Radio Shack Adaptaplug "C", cat no. 273-1706).
Here's my setup. The solar panel is on the left. It folds up to about 9 x 5.5 inches (23x13 mm) and one inch (25 mm) thick. There is a connector housing that protrudes about 3/4 inch (15 mm).
On the right is a Pertelian X2040 external LCD display. It connects to any USB port. I use it to keep an eye on the machine's innards while I'm testing. In this picture, it's displaying data about the battery. If you have one of these, grab the code.

My Jabber Server
For experimentation, I installed ejabberd 2.0.0-rc1. If you want to help, open the Terminal activity and at the prompt say:
sugar-control-panel -s jabber felix.mraiow.com
then ctrl-alt-erase to restart Sugar. If there's some activity running there, join it and leave a message. If not, you can check to see if you are connected with this command:
netstat -t | grep 5223
You should see something like this:
