Maker goals
First, some form of apology. I’ve read that the best way to improve is by writing, so you’re now a test audience for what may resemble a bit of a stream of consciousness - I’m going to try and get some words down regardless, and this may soon resemble a dumpster fire but I will promise to try and keep some relevance in here somewhere.
Further to my various posts re the microjournal, I’ve been pricing things up and it is likely to come in at about GBP150, plus/minus some tool investments - it is high time I got myself a soldering iron and it turns out that things have come on some way since I was doing sound for a living! Also it turns out that you can still get leaded solder, which I didn’t think was a thing any more, but apparently I was wrong.
I have been considering the V2 original. Not a folder, but in what the designer describes as an accountancy calculator. I think it looks pretty good.
So the plan. First things first, I will get the case printed. Once that’s in hand, I can see exactly what I’m working with and whether adding something bigger than the 30 key planck ortho is a sensible idea or not. I’m wondering whether the rPi zero is right, or whether I want to go all in with an actual rPi but, like the keyboard, until I see what space I have to actually work with, it is a tricky one to say.
