Sounds like a very interesting project, I certainly would be tempted to have an eInk terminal. Can you post images on how the terminal looks on the eInk screens?
That stuff is great. Once in an embedded SW shop I received some prototypes routed like that. It was unexpected! I couldn't stop smirking and showing it off to everyone around :)
Love your other projects too by the way! Especially the serial terminal.
At our lab we needed another workstation and the IT-Department took ages to give us one.
So we modded an old surveillance CRT into a Terminal with your circuit and connected it to the existing PC.
Now two people can work with one Workstation. It is still used to this day (albeit more because of the cool factor).
That's so cool! Something about the slides not being released yet made me want to read them more. It's Wikileaks of legitimate content =)
Good luck with your work, it looks really useful and interesting. I feel this is what we all dreamed up in the early internet years while watching Star Trek. Digital controls for everything, and not being beholden to others for the way in which we manage the controls.
I'm also interested in electricity monitors but I think that's a separate thing.
Great project. I'm definitely going to give it a shot as a Raspberry Pi hosted thing.
One comment on the site though - it would be really cool to be able to see a demo. I get a good vibe from the description/images, but a demo site would be great.
Yeah, saw that though but can't agree that this would be an example of it. It's more an example of the later part, the beauty of having small modules, ready to be used and just plumbing them together in a small way.
Thanks for the kind words though, warms my heart that someone likes it.
Just getting started looking at this now, but the order on the tabs: Schematic, Code, PCB; is very interesting! I'll be excited to see someone import a RISC-V CPU into this or something, then import Linux :):)
oh my goodness. That is beautiful - an amazing design for a first hardware project and I would love to see it come to fruition. No experience from my end that would assist, but all the best.
I’ve seen some awesome looking terminals / setups while watching programming demos / tutorials.
I would totally try their setup if they had a link to it via your site.
Likewise, any sort of preview / screen shot on your site would be awesome.
Well executed thus far.
