Technology ambitions
Yesterday, I linked to this.
It turns out that the maker, Un Kyu Lee, has in fact open-sourced all the units on that there GitHub, and as the proud owner of a 3D printer this could very much be something on the cards!
Again, very much a want rather than a need but there is no denying that it is an exceedingly good looking beast and probably more practical than the Psion 5MX that’s languishing in a drawer. I clearly don’t do enough writing to make it a justifiable purchase, but as a project to make, I think it may be entirely reasonable. I’ll have to do the sums and if I can get it below the maker’s $289 I’ll be onto a winner.
Practically speaking, the 3D printing side is about as free as is it possible to be now (with filament coming in at about £15/kg ish) with a printer on hand, which just leaves the electronics and I happen to have a load of MX switches lying about from a mistaken purchase. The only real issue is that I may have to spend more time on the Ali Express website, and that is something I really want to avoid if at all possible.
Watch this space!
