    Just preordered Pyra and Pandora questions

    You probably have a short. I'd disconnect the LCD cable to make sure that's not the culprit. Past that, start really looking around the new USB port you put in. You might have created a solder bridge, or if you used too much heat, may have warped some of the nearby lines. My original Pandora...

    Beta experimental hardfp (armhf) support for Super Zaxxon

    Do you mean that with armhf, one could run docker on the Pandora? I thought that the kernel being at 3.2 still prevented most of that? Docker lists the minimum kernel version as 3.10. Having lxc or docker working on the Pandora would be sweet though. I could then stop using my hacked...

    Prototype mainboards coming soon

    That case looks great. Those shoulder buttons look satisfying to click. I can understand tightening up the stylus so it doesn't move around. Movement means wear, and I already have a hard enough time trying to track down the styluses(sp?) that just fall out of some of my other devices. I'm...

    Prototype mainboards coming soon

    I'm hoping that the changes made to the decoupling capacitors fix the clock-rate stability issues. As far as prototypes go I can think of a number of things I'd love to test, even without 3d acceleration, or some other niceties. Do any of the prototypes come with the 4g modem? I'm changing my...

    Power, Memory and Schematics

    Soooooooooo, back to the other points. I'm super curious about the case and keymat tweaks. From watching the development of the Pandora and Pyra, I have a deep appreciation for how well the team did for the button feel on the Pandora for the gaming controls, that strikes me as one of many little...

    Power, Memory and Schematics

    I would totally spring for a prototype. I might even be able to help with things above the driver level. (As in I can't write drivers, but I can compile things, and am willing to test and load kernel modules) @notaz Thanks for clarifying on the state of the CPU.

    Power, Memory and Schematics

    I hope you and everyone else won't have too much trouble finding the solution to the 1.2 GHz issue.

    Power, Memory and Schematics

    They could be applying the appropriate power, but under load the voltage could be dropping. Though these chips sound really picky.

    Power, Memory and Schematics

    @ible. Yeah, I think so. Just did some more reading and this paper seems to lay things out pretty well. http://www.tapr.org/Ackermann_Open_Source_Hardware_Article_2009.pdf Specifically the pages numbered 193 - 194 (Page 12 and 13 of the PDF) What that paper says is that copyright does not...

    Power, Memory and Schematics

    For people wondering about Copyright law on hardware schematics, here's a good faq by the Open Source Hardware Association. http://www.oshwa.org/faq/ Specifically here is the part about issues with Non-Commercial provisions. http://www.oshwa.org/faq/#noncommercial I'm happy that the schematics...

    Surprise Attack!

    I think the wandering Pyra would be awesome if it came with a wandering Evil Dragon or someone else from the Pyra team. That would solve the issue of the pyra getting "lost" in the mail. I am mostly joking about that idea, I suspect the expense of travel and time spent away from the project...

    Last known issue fixed

    The bad usb cables remind me of this http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/30/anker_usbc_cables_recalled/ In that case, the USB C cables have actual chips in them which are suppose to advertise what the cable can do. So that part of the problem is considerably different. But manufactures...

    Finally, a touchscreen!

    I'm on my third touchscreen with one of my pandoras. The first one was great, then I got the purple screen of death and ordered a new screen and cables. The second touch screen took considerably more pressure, and I think I ended up deforming the screen slightly at some point because it had...

    Holidays are over!

    As someone who just yesterday replaced the whole case and screen on his Pandora, I deeply appreciate the design improvements made to the Prya. I had to open and close the case around the screen several times to make sure all the wires were laying flush, and going where they were supposed to go...

    Shapeways will CNC or 3D print whatever plans you send to them. Including making stuff out of metal. http://www.shapeways.com/create ED could totally have a Pyra ring.

    Beet juice would also work as an ink. Depending on the beet it could look like blood.

    It's loud.

    Alright, since it hasn't been posted yet, here's the songs used: This is what I was able to read on the screens. By the way, maybe it was the angle or the colors used, but the Pyra screen was by far the most readable, followed by the pandora. I'm glad there's other people out there who enjoy...

    Media and Press - who should we contact?

    Alright, I wrote up a submission to Slashdot Hopefully I represented the Pyra well. I'm super excited for this project.
