    macOS Catalina Cleanup: Remove Kexts From /Library/Extensions and Recache

    I have cleaned up my /Library/Extensions folder and making sure all the kexts are moved to the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other folder However I have noticed that these kexts NO LONGER APPEAR in the System Information Application. Normally these kexts would appear in Software/Extensions listed as "Not...

    Intel DQ77KB BIOS 0038 needed please.

    I have 2 builds with this motherboard. I am fairly sure this is the correct file. It is the un-patched file, without the Unlocked (I don't remember, but there was a patch you had to run on it to make it work) EDIT : Here is a thread about the patching...

    Edison Touch Sensor Wireing

    Hi IOcKY, From sleppek's build. What this means is that: The Edison sensor requires a constant 5V, even when the computer is turned off. The only place this comes from is pin 9 of the ATX power cable. A GND signal for the Edison sensor can come from the ATX power cable also, this can be...

    iMac G4 15" [Nickjf20]

    Essentially yes you are correct. These types of transistors (BJT) switches on when a voltage differential is applied causing a current to flow. In the case of PNP the current must flow from emitter to base. For NPN the opposite is true, the current must flow from base to emitter. In testing...

    iMac G4 15" [Nickjf20]

    Hi There, just thought I would give you a code tips. See Below. You can move the three variables into the function, and by declaring them static makes them like a global variable, i.e. retain there values between calls to the function, the only difference is you can only use the variable in...

    iMac G4 15" [Nickjf20]

    Hi There Nickjf20, good luck with your project, looks like you are making progress. RE power state detection; If it is supported (BIOS setting on Intel NUC) standby S3 mode can be indicated by a tri-colour LED (reverse polarity) which is easy to detect with a second Arduino PIN. If not then...

    Minihack’s Build: Haswell i5-4250U NUC BOXD54250WYKH1 - 8GB RAM

    I applied the update which included the supplemental, and all working after setting the "ig-platform-id" and removing the IOGraphicsFamily "Second Stage Boot" patch from the config.plist Question: Has anyone found a new patch to fix the graphics corruption during boot up ?

    Where can I find DSDT for GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3 EFI?

    I suggest you search these forums for "U1E GA-Z68MX DSDT" you will find plenty of information. I am running that motherboard with the U1E firmware without a DSDT. Also the SSDT file is independent of the DSDT, and linked to the CPU management, not the motherboard itself. You shouldn't need to...

    A better screen to go with the better hardware?

    I think there is benefit, fitting is one challenge. Second big challenge is technology compatibility, LVDS is a standard but like everything there are differences. Also backlight (inverter) power supply compatibility has to be considered. I don't think the structure of the forum is a barrier to...

    Possible to solder fan connections for OEM Mac Pro 2013 top fan?

    Well investigated so far, here is my opinion. You seem to have identified that the ribbon cable carries only four signals. Clearly the red and the purple (1 and 4) are the main power, but which is which? To identify which is GND I would connect the WIFI board back into the cable. The WIFI...

    MacTester57's iMac G5 17" (A1058 Model)

    Awesome work, I can see you are getting the hang of ObjectiveC. :thumbup: FYI if you are looking for things to include in the app, then a test of the LED function could also be useful. Also my current firmware has two commands "SS" and "SU", here is the respective outputs. "SS" - System...

    MacTester57's iMac G5 17" (A1058 Model)

    Good that the baud rate change improved things, I will make this change also. As for the OK response, I will keep this on the BA and BD commands (only) since it is something that needs to work. Passing multiple pieces of information in a single message really comes down to a will formatted...
