    Pictures for the weekend

    To use a type-C connector will require a little bit more than just the connector. The type-C cable has 4 differential pairs for super speed instead of the old cables 2 pairs. The device connects to two of them, but since the connector is reversible, the host must determine which pairs are in use...

    What option for a spacebar/button would you like?

    I feel like a lefty arguing for a car that is slightly inconvenient for everyone against a car that only righties can drive.

    Will Pyra have a double sized space bar?

      It would be much easier to cut the separator between two keys out to create a double wide space bar than to try and create a separator.

    Final keyboard layout proposals - Discussion thread

    Lets not have a double wide space bare so we can map the keys the way we want! I don't care what you print on the keys, but a double wide space bar eliminates many possibilities.

    Will you have Pyra wifi 'always on'?

    If the Pyra is anything like the Pandora and puts up an annoying message box when it can't connect, the wi-fi will be off whenever I am not near a wi-fi connection. Also if the bluetooth is like the pandora and brakes when the pandora sleeps (must be disable and re-enabled before it will work...

    The Pyra Puzzle

    4 layers, no ground plane? This scares me. You are asking for trouble. (EMI, signal integrity issues etc...)

    New Data Showing No Difference Between 16 and 24 bits audio

    I won't bother to read that, I already know people can't hear the difference between 16 bit audio and 24 bit audio. That is not the real reason for 24 bit audio. The reason for 24 bit audio is that it is necessary to be able to generate 16 bit audio. For 16 bit audio to be good enough, it must...

    Interesting connectors available from this company...

    The best use for the type-C connector is the USB3 OTG connector. It is half the size of the existing USB-3 connector.

    Interesting connectors available from this company...

    I ran across this company when looking for something else: http://www.xmultiple.com/ What caught my attention was the uSD, uUSB combo connector: http://www.xmultiple.com/xwebsite-Smart.htm This would allow the Pyra to have its uSD card externally accessible. While poking around their site, I...

    The Big Open Pandora Community Survey, 2014

    I am another that will not create a new account anywhere just to fill out a survey. The survey should have been on this site where all of us already have accounts.

    It's the details that take longest (Part 3)

    Reasons for higher than 44.1kHz sampling: For Nyquists sampling theorem to work, one must have a perfect brick wall filter and 1/2 the sampling rate. This is impossible. This is why the sampling rate is 44.1 kHz, not 40 kHz. Filtering can be done much more accurately (and orders of magnitude...

    USB 3.1 Type C connector is ready for production

    Dragging this thread back to its original topic, I found some actual data on the USB Type-C connector, including its pinout here: http://www.encnn.com/design-training/USB%20type%20C%20%E8%BF%9E%E6%8E%A5%E5%99%A8.pdf I just noticed that this thread got moved to "OffTopic". I suppose that is why...

    What will you use your Pyra for?

    This exactly. I do not care what letters are printed on the keyboard as long as there are keys in the correct locations, I can remap it. The pandora has a double wide space bar where two letters need to be.

    What will you use your Pyra for?

    Everyone else gets the same qwerty keymap they usually use to type with on both their Pandora and their desktop, I'd like the same thing, but I type with Dvorak. Just because you think it isn't useful to me doesn't mean it should be made impossible for me to have the keymap I want. Your...

    What will you use your Pyra for?

    1) Web browsing when I am not at a desktop computer 2) GPS navigation using Navit & open street maps (very distant...) 3) Maybe an occasional game. I'm assuming it will be a faster version of the Pandora. It depends on the keyboard, but if I can map a Dvorak keymap to it, it will open up a...

    Release Navit

    I've been using: <!-- If you dont want to use the sample map, either set enabled="no" in the next line or remove the xml file from the maps directory --> <mapset enabled="yes"> <xi:include href="$NAVIT_SHAREDIR/maps/*.xml"/> </mapset> and putting my maps along with an xml file that...

    Avoiding keyboard decisions

    One example of this technology: http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus/popularis/ The keys are too big for the Pyra, and just the keyboard is $1500 US.

    Reversable USB-A connector

    The USB-A is a a surface mount part, the USB-A + SATA is a through hole device in those pictures. Even though the USB-A connector is surface mount, it still has two through hole pins for the shield. This is good for mechanical stability. Using a fully through hole device would not improve the...
