Is that a Windows XP VM?

[@TheLiftDragon]

Yes

أشكرك على هذا المجهود

[@TheLiftDragon]

You're welcome!

[@hotmixer2010]

Is there a USB or some other connection on the cartop?

[@TheLiftDragon]

Nope, it's RS232 to the controller with a wifi bridge in between. The antenna was at the top of the shaft in the ceiling cutout.

[@Avidiy]

@@TheLiftDragon oh that's interesting! If they are using hi tech wi-fi then they could use a sub as well, and avoid personel carrying adapters or a pc with that rs232

[@TheLiftDragon]

​@@Avidiy It was me using the wifi as this controller only has RS232. But many more modern controllers may have Wifi or Bluetooth built in.

[@Avidiy]

@@TheLiftDragon oh so you used rs232-wifi adapter to connect or, you used a the controllers wi-fi.

[@TheLiftDragon]

@@Avidiy The controller has none. I used a RS232 to wifi bridge and then passed the virtual serial port into the VM for Cadi to connect to.

Belt cable lifts? I don't know about them, Are they really safe?

[@TheLiftDragon]

They absolutely are, there are steel cables inside the belts after all. Otis introduced the belts over 20 years ago they're a proven technology by now. However, one must take into account that belts do not last as long as conventional cables, needing replacement after approximately 20-25 years. If lubricated and serviced properly, conventional ropes may last twice as long. It always depends on many factors like speed, trip count and travel distance though.

[@Aufzug25]

Kann ich eine App für Aufzug installieren damit ich auch auf Laptop Aufzug steuern kann? Von außen und innen und keine extra spiel app

[@Aufzug25]

Von außen und innen

[@TheLiftDragon]

Nein, die Software, die hier auf dem Laptop läuft ist speziell von Schindler für genau diese Steuerung und diese ist nicht frei erhältlich.

[@Avidiy]

Nice! But whats not nice is the stupid cable mod… these were probably great lifts! Can we see the motor room too, if there is anything original up there or all is replaced, maybe the car is intact? Either way it is cool to see that small tiny high rpm motor spinning Oh and nice kde-plasma desktop running windows xp there! I am just getting started on Linux and I use Linux Mint with Cinnamon, and sometimes ubuntu budgie, because I have a potato computer with 4gb ram, intel 85 with intel uhd graphics, and also there is better software support, but where were we? This is not a computer channel! 🙃😆

[@TheLiftDragon]

Thx! Yes, I have filmed a full video on these and I will upload it approximately in a month. The car interior is mostly original, just with the new COP. Motor room just contains the new equipment but I've got some nice footage with the covers removed and also the view down into the shaft from the motor room. Nice to see you joining the Linux community! I've been daily driving it for almost 8 years now. This here is just my small laptop which I take out and about and use for many lift related things. My main laptop however is running Gnome. As this is an old version of the Cadi software it only runs on XP. So I got this VM you see here. ^^

[@Avidiy]

@@TheLiftDragon oh yeah! The views down the motor room to the shaft are always exiting! I tried gnome, but coming from windows i somehow couldn't get along with it, no minimize button, and you have a 3-step process to open an app… *NOT SAYING GNOME IS BAD* but I don't like it but if I want I can go along with it, every thing has a bit of a learning curve… But the weird thing is I like ubuntu budgie which is in a mac lay out, but it is kinda of a hybrid between windows and mac… in a nut shell; I would prefer Linux mint/kde plasma, but would like and/or not mind to have a second machine/operating system to be ubuntu-budgie or maybe even gnome

[@TheLiftDragon]

​@@Avidiy For me this is not that much of an issue as at some point in the past I mostly stopped using the desktop icons. I am very used to text-based interaction (hello commandline) and therefore I open most programs by just hitting the win key, start typing the name of what I want and hitting enter. This method works universally for Gnome, KDE and Windows itself. Also if you want to be really fast with only a few applications: If you pin them to your taskbar in win/kde or to your dock in gnome, you can shortcut them with the key combinations win+1 to win+9 from anywhere. Probably the fastest way to open an app you use often.

[@Avidiy]

@@TheLiftDragon oh I didn't know that I will try this!

[@LiftOffical]

Is this 3300 mod?

[@sputnik8924]

In no way does this have anything to do with the 3300.

[@TheLiftDragon]

As it has already been stated - no it is not. The controller is also different than on the 3300.
