- how to keep paint out of the window (more about this later), - perhaps add some visual feature for the slider location (I have a partial experiment of that drying), - mechanical stability. Right now, everything is held together by friction. This really wants screws. But that's perhaps already a post-prototypes stage feature. Apart from the case, there are three more things that need testing in the circuit: - memory card holder. I didn't place them yet because they may interfere with some traces running under them (my DIY boards are particularly vulnerable to this). I've used the card holders in the 2013 design (the one with the wheel), so I don't expect any untoward surprises there. - RF: can the CC2543 send and receive ? So far, all I've tested is that the chip is alive. In Y-Box, I also tested transmission, so the design per se should be okay. - battery operation. This still needs debugging. Right now, I can run and operate Anelok with a battery voltage of 3.0 V but the display gets very dim - I first didn't even notice it was on - if I reduce this to 2.8 V. Maybe a problem with the boost converter. The firmware is also quite wasteful - it never sleeps, so the KL26 alone continuously draws some 8 mA at 3.0 V. > I wish I've some spare > time to help at least with the software part :( It's easy ! With the simulator, getting started takes hardly any time at all. And it's 100% friendly C and good honest Makefiles (with a few small shell and Perl scripts thrown in for style), no nasty C++ or Java with bizarre IDEs. - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
