Handheld Props

Recent talk about cutting up Proto boards gave me an idea...· Check out my cut up Proto board in a Hammond 1553 case with Nokia display.· There are side ports for PropPlug and keypad...··· I wish I'd put the screen in 180 degrees around now though (so there'd be room for a 12-key panel mount keypad...).

I put a Prop Oled in a smaller one, but somehow damaged it in the process...· The screen is extremely dim now.

    Just finished mine tonight.. Or at least got it up and running..
    (When is a propeller project ever finished???)

    It slides into a 10pin female header for easy removal for work.
    Currently my SD socket is a little skitzo, but it works most of the time.
    It's fully connected to sound and the PDA keyboard you see in the shots.

    That's what I call rapid prototyping[noparse]:)[/noparse]

    I think you guys just set some kind of record... somebody needs to call the Guiness people.

    Why are there wires going from the keyboard to the computer?
