    A video. Again. Mostly about cases.

    I would be in on an off white case. It would really be retro and very unique in the current handheld landscape. Maybe a color resembling the original Gameboy? Anyway, the case can be easily changed at a later point and shouldn't be very expensive. Therefore I support rSI and his opinion. If it...

    A video. Again. Mostly about cases.

    In my opinion, discolorisations are not that bad at all. I'm rather afraid that the color of the paint won't match the plastic. If I'm looking at a dyson vacuum, most of the parts suffer from heavy discolorisation. Only the cyclone is painted, as most probably its some kind of fiberglass...

    Even more to see here (now)

    I would be in for glow in the Dark. But I guess it would only be necessary for one part of the Case. Just enough to find it in the dark. Maybe the lid? I'm not sure about the toxicity of strontium and it's compounds. The security datasheet does not seem to be to bad...

    Yay some news!

    I know, thats what the extra 10 bits were meant for. But with a 64 bit multiply you could actually expand it to a 29 bit at no cost which should usually be enough for normalizing. One would have to "test hear" the result tough. I agree that with integer you have to be a lot more careful than...

    Yay some news!

    As far, as I'm familiar with math, float is only necessary for resampling as you need to calculate the time interpolation of the waveform (did this already several times). For a linear mixing job, one would simply add the channels (most usecases). Also float could be ommitted, as the Neon should...

    Case Improvements and the keymat

    How about a lottery? Everybody is allowed to say, when he/she thinks the release date is two months ahead (only once). The one with the best estimate get's his Pyra signed by Evil Dragon :).

    Case Improvements and the keymat

    I agree, 5 years is a long time indeed. I'm also watching this progress since the Pandora, but just remember, if you try something like this as a oneman show, it will take several years, no matter what you do or how hard you try. Unless you partner with a huge company for design and production...

    Case Improvements and the keymat

    I'd say, it is done, when it is done. The new company is a huge improvement in my oppinion. They delivered prototypes within no time for a rather small Job, which is quite unusual and a really good sign. This doesn't mean I don't like my Pyra yesterday ;) ... Android is really killing my last...

    Case Improvements and the keymat

    I don't see the discolorizations as a problem. Dyson has them to, on all their plastic parts. As long, as it looks good, I guess it will be accepted.

    Case Improvements and the keymat

    Not isolating heat, but electricity (3.5 KV breakdown). The usage of graphite was not visible in the datasheet, anyway, if it works, it works :) BTW: The Heat sink can NEVER heat up more than the processor (second law of thermodynamics) but I know what you mean ;).

    Case Improvements and the keymat

    If you would've read my post carefully, you would have read, that I suggested changing the material to maximize lateral thermal conductivity (more copper) and not installing a heatpipe, as the currently choosen material is not meant for the purpose it is currently considered. It could be even...

    Case Improvements and the keymat

    I don't like to ruin enthusiasm, but if the link to the used heat spreader material is correct, then it is nowere near a heatpipe. It is material used to increase the interface area between the cooler and the chip. It is definitely not meant to transport heat laterally and will have a terrible...

    Life of SDcard

    I have a Sandisk Extreme 64 GB in my Raspberry for a while now. I'm using it for TV-Recording. So far I have about 3 to 4 TB written without any complains. I fill it up and empty it usually three times a week. I'm curious though how long it will last. It's some kind of endurance experiment. I...

    Gemini Cosmo - On Indiegogo

    After buying the Gemini I rather wait and see, if they take USB-C integration seriously regarding display port integration and powerdelivery. After all I find the USB-C on the Gemini rather disappointing, which is really a shame. They could have built the same functionality using a micro USB and...

    Back to normal!

    Regarding lithium batteries, there are several reasons for degradation: 1. Reaction of the electrolyte with the electrode materials 2. Mechanical stress of the electrodes due to deformation during charge/discharge 3. Secondary reactions at the electrodes caused by too high overpotential in the...

    Sensors in the Pyra

    well according to mouser it would cost 2,30 more a piece per 1000 ... not a big deal, so why stick with the old one if the new one could be a drop in replacement? As per the question what to do, when it tells you that you're breathing bad air ... maybe open the Window ...that's basically what...

    Phone Handset

    Did anyone already check out something like this little piece?: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/123249-hands-on-htc-mini-is-a-bluetooth-handset-and-remote-for-your-larger-phone It might me a nice Headset for people, that want to use the Pyra as their main Phone.

    Sensors in the Pyra

    I just checked the datasheets of both. If the drawings of the pin spacing and pinout are already correct for the BME680 it just fits and nothing needs to be changed at all. In case Ed didn't already order the BME 280's, it could be something to take into consideration. In my oppinion, it's a...

    Update regarding the cases (and some other things)

    I still believe, that qwerty is right as a first choice, maybe other layouts will follow ... nobody knows, but its a different layout anyway compared to a N900 or others, so you will need some time to adapt, even if it would be swiss layout. Some time ago I thought the same, but meanwhile I'm...
