T98 Mini Tv Stick

[Consuelo Dular]

Unfortunatelylately the mini-stick on the throttle began to spike a lot. I use it mostly to slew sensors around (radar, TGP, Mavs, etc) and it drifts away, to the left side, sometimes down, making it really hard to use, especially with TGPs.

So, is there anyone here who can help? Keep in mind I'm not much savvy when it comes to messin' about with this kind of hardware, I opened it up a couple of times to work on the screw that allows to adjust tension, but that's just it.

Max, unfortunately it's been more than 2 years since I purchased the hardware, so even here in Europe, warranty is gone. I might try to contact TM support, maybe they can send me a replacement potentiometer/sensor.

Hi.

I have the x56 throttle and it has a mini stick. Just occurred to me to ask. Can you program the X56 throttle mini stick as a mouse in VR? This would save using the mouse with the goggles on and would be great.

So theres been a ton of talk about the RaspberryPI here and integration with the ISY. It seems people want a cheap and low powered device to run whatever on, like NodeLink, BWS Systems Hue Emulator, etc. However some of us don't want to or have time for the learning curve for the RaspPI. I have a need for a Windows PC that can be run 24/7 that I can VPN into and run a few programs for my AV installations. So I recently purchased this Azulle Quantum Access Mini PC Stick from Amazon for $90 to test. Its only about $20 more than a RaspPi when you consider the Pi, a power supply, memory card, case, etc. I know some of you will argue the fact this is running Windows and most have the parts to the Pi, but thats not the point I am trying to make.

My goal here is to find a low powered device that can run 24/7 stable for things like Nodelink, the Hue Emulator, and maybe a few other programs on.

Heres the link to the PC stick on Amazon:

Specs:

-Access Windows 10 everywhere you go. The Quantum Access is equipped with the latest full version of Windows 10.

-The Quantum Access is driven by the all-new Intel Atom (Quad-core) 1.33 GHZ Z3735F processor. To ensure optimal performance, the Quantum Access offers 2GB of DDR3L RAM and a snappy 32GB of onboard memory. This powerful combination of hardware is perfect for heavy word processing, high definition video streaming, and gaming.

-This mini PC is perfect for streaming media as it is fueled by a top-of-the-line Intel HD Graphics (Gen 7). With a built in HDMI output, you can simply plug the Quantum Access into any HDMI port and instantly "access" your PC.

-Truly take the Quantum Access wherever you desire. Measuring 4.33 X 1.02 X 0.45 inches, the Quantum Access is the perfect size for any office, entertainment center, or bedroom.

-Enjoy a device that excels in versatility as this PC stick provides you with a full USB 2.0 port, micro USB port, and micro SD card slot.

I got it in the mail today so I am planning on putting it through some tests. If anyone has questions or wants me to try something let me know. Here are some photos of me unboxing it. First time boot up was simple with no issues. The PC stick is running Windows 10 32Bit with an Intel Atom Z3735F CPU @ 1.33GHz with 2GB of RAM. A Micro SD Card can be added up to 128GB. Total HD/flash space is 28.7GB of which 21.1GB are free to use after Win10 is installed.

Somethings I have tried:

-Does it need to be plugged into a HDMI monitor to work after being setup (Update: After setup you can remove it from a HDMI port and the device will still boot and be usable. This is GREAT news for me, as it can be used as a headless PC.)

-How well does it run programs like the HUE emulator and NodeLink (Update: Installed NodeLink and BWS Systems Emulator and both are working fine so far. There is no noticeable lag from Alexia to the Emulator to issue commands.)

-Total power draw (Update: 5 Watts and when idle is 1-2Watts per my Killo-Watt)

-Overall speed (Update: This thing is not fast but its not slow. Will keep testing.)

-Stability (Update: So far so good, the device has not had any random crashes or stability issues and has been up for three days without any crashes or reboots.)

-How well is WiFi only? (Update: WiFi was flakey at first so I contacted Azulle and they had me update the WiFi driver and I haven't had an issue since. I will keep testing this for stability.)

-Can I plug in a USB ethernet to it for a hardwired connection (Update: Yes you can. I have a Belkin three port non-powered USB 2.0 hub that I was able to have connected to the PC stick then have a USB wireless keyboard/mouse combo and a USB ethernet adapter plugged into it and everything was working. I would think for devices that require more power you would need a powered USB hub. But I am able to configure the USB ethernet, unplug the USB hub and plug back in the USB ethernet adapter to have wired network connection to it.)

-How well does Kodi run and stream 1080p content (Update: Kodi runs well and I don't see any issues so far. That being said I am only running at 1080p in Stereo. I have not tested DTS, Dolby, PCM, etc. I don't really need any of this though.)

-Reboot to Windows after powerless (Update: This can be done but you must update the BIOS first. It is after updating the power on reboot is there and automatically turned on. This means now if the device power is lost it will reboot when power is restored. This is GREAT NEWS for me! BIOS Update can be found here: -access-bios-firmware/)

-Remote Desktop Use (Update: I was able to install TightVNC and now can remote desktop into the PC stick via WiFi.)

-Install Android Marshmallow (Update: Because this is a Intel CPU you can not install Android on it.)

-Simple web server (Update: Works even with Kodi, FTP Server, NodeLink and Hue Emulator running in the background)

-Simple FTP server from a network or USB drive (Update: Works even with Kodi, Web Server, NodeLink and Hue Emulator running in the background)

-Install DDNS service program (Update: Installed DynDNS free service on the device and my IP changed twice after forcing the modem to reboot. Both times the service notified me of the change. I know others have wanted this feature for other reasons and this seems to work well for DDNS services.)

-Install Ubuntu 14.04 (Update: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy - Instructions are on the Azulle Website/Forums)

-How easy to reinstall Windows 10 back to factory after installing another OS (Update: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy - Instructions are on the Azulle Website/Forums here -factory-restore/)

Conclusion so far:

Well not sure what I was expecting but this is a PC on a stick. Teken said he doesn't like the form factor, however for my needs its perfect. I can put velcro on it and stick it anywhere I want or need to. Behind a TV, no problem. In a AV rack, no problem. Squeezed between AV hardware, no problem. Everything I have tossed on it works perfectly. The wireless speeds are good but of course you never get 100% one for one speeds as if you had a wired connection. If you want to spend more you can get the more expensive LAN version, the hardware is the same or if you have a USB ethernet adapter you can use that with a USB hub. Power consumption is crazy low, 5Watts!? At idle its 1Watt. Depending on what you plug into the USB you may need a powered USB hub.

So far I'm impressed. For the price vs performance in what it can do is impressive IMHO. Stability has not been an issue. Also worth noting this device is running the full version of Windows 10 32-Bit OS, not embedded. I made some changes like boot directly into the desktop, never turn it off for power saving (sleep mode) and never use a screensaver (or turn off the display). I have been using it as a headless device and its a great machine. This would make a great little device to serve up files from a powered USB hard drive. I hooked it up to my TV for a while to use with Kodi and Youtube Hipporemote control app on my iPhone. I also contacted the Azulle support email and online chat twice and both times I got a response quickly and accurately answering my questions.
