Ok. Thanks 7bit. But I sure it's not my favour

[scottc]

7bit, how many version 0.1 prototypes are left? What has changed in the 0.2 prototype?

[7bit]

0.1 is the one I will order, 0.2 will never exist because I'm fully confident that everything will be OK in version 0.1!


The differences are:
- corrected switch logic for the mouse-buttons (was alsways closed, unless pressed)
- corrected holes for case (or backplate) mounting (0.0 works OK for most layouts,
- except for those with traditional staggering)
- cosmetic changes (those green fields don't look well in version 0.0)

[scottc]

Ah, I thought that the current prototypes were 0.1 already! Great. Will you offer the other parts (mouse buttons, etc) too?

How about the trackpoint? Can I use my own, like one from the IBM Space Saver rubber dome boards?

[teuf]

Do you have a rough estimate for the teensy/diode availability?

[7bit]

The trackpoint must fit through the hole, which is a bit less than 7mm in diameter.

I still don't have a cheap source for the buttons.

I will order controllers and other stuff in 2-3 weeks, depending on how many orders I get for the PCBs etc.

[scottc]

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

[7bit]

Did you measure the trackpoint yet?


I have 5.334mm if a mount plate is used and 7.112mm with only the PCB. If I make the hole wider, the G and H switches will lose stability.

[7bit]

I've made it wider!


Now, you all can send in your orders.

[scottc]

I will get on that tonight.

[Halvar]

On my PCB it says "Prototype - Version 0.0 - 2014-08-27" as on the photo above. This still means it's a v0.1 board, right?

[7bit]

Yes.

I don't have a photo of the version 0.1 yet.

[scottc]

I will get on that tonight.

I couldn't find my loose trackpoint last night, so today I will look for my second IBM Space Saver and try to remove the trackpoint from that one.

[7bit]

You don't need to!

I already know the dimension!

[scottc]

Oh, great! Will it fit?

[7bit]

The edges of the trackpoint are at most 4mm and the diameter is less than 4*sqrt(2)==5.65685424949238019520mm
The diamenter of the hole in the plate is 6mm.
I've tried with my thinkpad and found out that the trackpoint is not really moving, so this should be fine.

[scottc]

Excellent. That's good info. Can't wait to try it.

[matt3o]

wow pretty cheap, maybe because they are super small. where do you get them at the end?

[scottc]

Can you provide images for the different layout types that correspond to the plates? I'm going to have to arrange another bank transfer

Which looks better:
With or without black framelines?

[scottc]

With them, definitely.

[scottc]

What is the ETA for HYPER/MICRO/P1?

[7bit]

I've currently got only 2 orders, so I guess it will take a little bit more time ...

[scottc]

Are there any first-gen prototypes left for me to take instead?
