    Separate pads for the space key?

    I don't want to change the shape of the space key for everyone, I want to be able to change it myself, which I can't if the pads are wired together without an option to separate them. I think the option to separate them by desoldering a connection and soldering a new one while having an unused...

    Separate pads for the space key?

    I thought I could cut the space key in half and cut out a small grove to make it feel and act like two separate keys. Yes, it's a bit hacky but it would work, whereas it'd be basically impossible without separate pads. On one hand I don't want the Pyra team to have a headache trying to...

    Separate pads for the space key?

    I tried to make a Neo layout for the keyboard of the Pyra with an additional button instead of the double width space key: The wide button would screw up the placement of the [ . ] and [ J ] keys.

    The case of the case.

    I tried to make a Neo Layout on the Pyra keymap with a single width space key: The double width space bar interferes with the [ , ], [ . ] and [ J ] keys. I believe dvorak will have a similar problem. A double width key would either screw up the placement of those three buttons or there would...

    Separate pads for the space key?

    Exactly, according to the hackers manual. Ghosting of the keys above the space key might be a problem and I don't know how Linux reacts to getting the same keycode twice. (I should test that…) Sending the same keycode twice or mapping space to two different keycodes shouldn't be necessary...

    Separate pads for the space key?

    Hi, Would it be possible to have separate (or maybe separable by scratching a connection?) contact pads for the space key on the pcb so that you could cut the space key in half and have one more key on your Pyra keyboard? I think I'd like another key more than the wider space key. I'm not sure...

    Ambient light sensor for automatic backlight adjustment?

    I actually meant the LCD backlight but dimming the display AND lighting up the keyboard in low light would be a nice touch, now that I think about it…

    Ambient light sensor for automatic backlight adjustment?

    Not while I'm gaming but while I'm on the move. Some trains in Berlin switch between above and below the ground a lot. Edit: When I'm outside, gaming on my Pyra and it's a partly cloudy day? :D

    Ambient light sensor for automatic backlight adjustment?

    Hi, Will the Pyra have an ambient light sensor for automatic backlight control? I hadn't used my Pandora for a while and when I turned it on the other day, I noticed how much it bugs me having to control the backlight manually. (Btw.: Couldn't you solder a photodiode to one of the empty LED...

    What did you name your Pandora/s?

    My Pandora’s hostname is Dreizehn (german for thirteen) because legend tells I received it on a friday, 13th (which was actually a thursday, 13th but friday is cooler…) My laptop’s Arkelsechs (arklesix), currently, named after the Hitchhiker’s Guide deity Great Green Arkleseizure and how many...

    Release DraStic Nintendo DS emulator

    Hey, I just wanted to chime in and say how impressive DraStic is! I’ve played Metroid Prime Hunters (which, imo, has one of the best FPS controls I’ve seen on handhelds) on my Rebirth Pandora@998MHz at full speed (with some slowdowns in some bigger areas) Thanks very much, Exophase!

    Screen not working

    Success! Ed sent me a new LCD cable, I put it in and it works! Replacing them is one scary procedure o_O These cables seem so delicate. Now, onto my next project! (Someday) Soldering an LED onto the cable and putting a translucent logo in the back of the lid! (I've thought about an Apple logo...

    Screen not working

    But it's the weekend and the package won't be there before tuesday! Something like that was probably going through my mind as I disassembled my Pandora to find the LCD cable broken. I hope that wasn't me trying to get it out of the case o_o" Sadly, dragonbox doesn't have the cables in stock...

    Screen not working

    Hi, I've just got my upgraded Pandora (CC -> 512MB GC) back from ED and the LCD's not turning on. I've opened the lower half of the device and to check if the display cable was connected to the board which it was. I replugged and fastened it just to be sure but it didn't help. Any ideas? I...

    Staying private on internet.

    I have mine running with certificates from cacert.org. Not that you can trust them any more than any other CA (although I do), but they're free and more or less widespread. @ Privacy on the internet: On one hand if Bruce Schneier has given up on it, I don't think Joe Average has any real...

    What Desktop Environment Do You Use?

    Awesome WM on both desktop and laptop (and hopefully on my Pandora, too, as soon as I have the time.)

    Trade for a Pandora, GBAX reboot, CC units.

    The layout's a bit broken for me (Using Firefox 21): Apart from that I find it a little too crouded.

    KITT LED effect in the C programming language?

    The two leftmost LEDs on the right side of the screen aren't populated, so an animation like that would only be possible with some soldering.

    Steam Linux expands

    I have Left 4 Dead 2 running on my core i3 laptop pretty nicely, better than I remember it under Windows on the same machine. Can't objectively compare though, there's no space on my SSD for a gaming-only OS xP
