I would prefer a good generic LCD display, even if it costs more. (Within reason.) But I can see the point in going custom. It is cheaper in 'higher' volumes and reduces the lightly hood/time for Chinese closes to appear. --- Quote from: janekm on October 20, 2017, 07:36:55 am ---I told them I wanted the best visibility they could make and paid them a premium for that. They delivered, the displays are excellent.[/li][/list] --- End quote --- :-+ There is nothing worse than a poor display. The Whales/boffin design is clearer than the original version. The TimNJ is also good, if the cost of the larger screen is possible. |

Open source discussion derailment aside, it's an interesting project to attempt. Lots of cheap power supply options out there now, so I guess you won't be competing on price? Keen to see what the deal is... Those of you who want the fully hackable/self-sourcable supply made with a more generic LCD should look into the crowd funded one that shipped the other month... |

It won't be for everyone. |

Any tease about what exactly it will be ? Aside from that, I realized that the "first" idea of uSupply (portable battery-powered lab PSU) now could be done by just putting that chinese DPH3205(that one in particular because of buck-boost mode) module in a box with Li-ion battery + charger (altho it would be ~twice as big) --- Quote from: julianhigginson on October 20, 2017, 09:57:45 am ---Those of you who want the fully hackable/self-sourcable supply made with a more generic LCD should look into the crowd funded one that shipped the other month... --- End quote --- which one ? I've been looking for something like battery powered power supply that could double as battery/phone charger (which could probably be easily hacked in into existing design if code was available) |

i'll be curious to see the result. There's been a product i always wanted to convert to a slim form factor, full screen type for display and user interaction. The display has to be readable from every light condition (to be placed near the steering wheel) Unfortunately the available choice of OLEDs don't satisfy me, i should use a smartphone type display but they are tricky to get to.. but then i saw of this microchip demo board http://www.microchip.com/promo/pic16f19197-low-power-touch-enabled-lcd-demonstration and i wondered if a custom LCD was the right solution.. might be. I've seen some photos of the actual board and the result is astounding, but i can't get my hands on it yet.. The priority of this project is sub-zero so i'll wait and see your experience in custom LCD manufacture :) |
