Re: Neo / FreeRunner 'stand'
Would it also be useful to add a jack for a standard power supply or things to plug a standard cigarette lightener cable ? I mean the doc could also to be used in a car. Therefore a well designed voltage regulator could be added to support a wider range of input voltage. Also a question: Did anybody know something about KICAD (ecad software) ? It has support for 3D parts, thus it will probably help to visualize a board design in 3D. What about the CAD drawings I sometime have posted in BRLCAD format ?

Re: Neo / FreeRunner 'stand'
I have put in a package request for BRLCAD and now there is one for debian and ubuntu :D kicad is already available on debian and ubuntu. Does anyone have a good description to (for starters) can load and render the back cover / lid of freerunner?
