The last few months I've been rather busy at Neo900, so I didn't have much time to work on Anelok. I did get myself a 3D printer, though, which inevitably resulted in this seasonal tableau: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/krampelok.jpg The fellow in the background [1] is one of Santa's little helpers in Austrian folklore, with expertise in the handling of wayward kids.

As one can see, it's not quite perfect yet (bottom lid doesn't close properly, there's no place for the black tab on the display to go, the buttons are a bit on the small side and don't move freely, the rfkill switch is too difficult to reach, plus a lost of other small issues), but it's a start. Overall, the device is nice and small. And, as Bas has observed already a long time ago, it has a decently solid feel. Here is another picture, showing a device with the old CR2032-based design next to the (work in progress) new case: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/case-comparison.jpg - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
