That's what we have field-upgradeable firmware for :-) > Perhaps using the longest edged of > anelok for the slider could help with this also :P I'm thinking of giving it a length of about 45 mm. Depending on how I hold it, I get different swipe lengths: - thumb on the side: about 35 mm http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/swipe-side.jpg - thumb from above: about 30 mm http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/swipe-top.jpg - thumb flat, holding device diagonally: 40 mm and more, depending on how much I involve the wrist. http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/swipe-diag.jpg The piece of plastic I'm holding there is the battery cover of the Ben, about 6 x 4 cm. Hmm, playing with it, I just realized that the by far most natural movement would be to move the thumb vertically, like this: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/swipe-vertical.jpg By the way, Joerg has suggested the following design for a proper linear sensor: http://wstaw.org/m/2014/04/30/plasma-desktopp31889.png Line widths about 0.2 mm, so the whole thing would be about 5.4 mm, which looks like a nice size. > Is a probed design (see apple stuff) Heh, that could of course mean that it's patented. Wouldn't patenting the wheel be just like them ? :-) But yes, a wheel would work, too. E.g., the wheel of my dead Samsung X830 feels right and it is about the same size as the Anelok design with wheel: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/wheel-designs.jpg One big benefit of a wheel pattern would be that I could conveniently place the battery under it. Hmm ... > Anyway, the rotary design from TI > is think is better: http://imgur.com/yR3vvSJ It certainly wins the style award :-) Generating that sort of pattern looks tricky, though. - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
