Yeah, it would help to determine when to stop :) > The other options don't allow that. Not entirely sure about this. One would probably develop a movement pattern that allows one to see the relevant bits of the screen. But with the vertical movement, we should be on the safe side in any case. > Have the patented that?

The fewer moving parts, the better. By the way, I made a first rough estimate for a north-south-symmetric (1) Anelok case: PCB size: 30.3 x 64.5 mm Usable circuit area (2): about 27.3 cm^2 Case size: 33.3 x 67.5 x 8.5 mm Case volume: 19.1 cm^3 (1) I.e., whether used left- or right-handed, the display is always vertically centered. The LED may have to be off-center, though. (2) For the "core" circuit, without battery and user input mechanism. For comparison, Anelok v0: Usable circuit area: about 27.0 cm^2 Case size: 84.4 x 29.4 x 10.5 mm Case volume: 26.0 cm^3 Dimensions have a tendency of growing, but this doesn't look too bad. There would be two PCBs: one with sensor and battery holder attached to the top of the case, and one with the rest of the circuit in the middle. They'd overlap slightly. - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
