Do we need an AC adapter? Everything charges from USB these days. All the electrical outlets in my house are fitted with USB ports now.

Keep calm and Pyron?

Ah, yes. One-handed operation; perfect for "ebook" "reading."

First corollary of Godwin's Law: As a Pyra thread grows longer, the probability of it devolving into a keyboard discussion approaches 1.

Supplies are limited, act now!

Neat. I work for TI as a web developer and I was assigned to the E2E website at the beginning of this month. I didn't write the site but I'll be maintaining it (and hopefully rewriting large portions of it). It does seem like the site may be an invaluable resource when troubleshooting...

Don't forget Hofstadter's law.. If I understand correctly, the reason things are taking so long is basically had to start over from scratch designing this product. My question is, once the Pyra launches, how much work will the next hardware iteration take (Pyra 2)? Hopefully, substantially...

Wow. I knew there was a lot I didn't know about electronics but I never realized how much I didn't know until I saw these diagrams. I'm glad people much smarter than me are working on this.

No, the license on the schematics concerns the schematic. The license of the design of the product is something else. Even if you had a fully licensed schematic, you wouldn't be licensed to make iPhones. Likewise, even though the license of the Pyra schematic is non-commercial, the license of...

I'm sure if I made an exact copy of my iPhone and started selling it, Apple's lawyers would be after me in minutes. No; most companies sell proprietary, patented, closed hardware. This is the opposite of that (i.e., open).

If your argument is that it's not open hardware, then the license of the hardware seems like what you should be concerned with. You have virtually every right you could possibly want, except for the right to charge users for a freely available document. I haven't looked at the document, but...

I'd also like to remind everyone that this horrible, terrible non-open license applies only to the schematic document. You can do anything you want with the hardware, including cloning, modifying, and/or selling it - and you have the full documentation available for you to do so. Sounds pretty...

It will always be two months.

You can't revoke the license you granted, but you can stop distributing it, and/or release it under a different license. You can't stop others from redistributing it, or from using the more permissive of the two licenses. At this point in time, it's possible that there are sufficiently few...

I don't really need 1080p on a device that I intend to use primarily emulating 480i displays. 720p should be more than enough, even with fancy effects (I like to emulate CRT curvature and scanlines as well). It would just reduce the frames per second without much visible improvement.

More or less what I was afraid of. I just want e.g. $ instead of €. I know I can remap them with software but then my keypress outputs something other than what the label says. Fair, though some keys I'm more likely to need than others. I'm actually using a keyboard layout on Windows that...

Sorry if this has already been discussed: How feasible would it be to have US labels for the alternate keyboard labels? I imagine actually remapping the keys is just a config file somewhere, but it would be confusing if they were mislabelled. To be clear: I don't want to physically move...

It would be neat if we could map sensor inputs to backlight outputs with a simple GUI. I'm imagining a UI similar to the Photoshop "Curves" utility.

Maybe we could design a Pyra composed entirely of sticks and rocks.
