What have you done with your PSM?

blittled

My friend and fellow forum member Jim Fouch recently bought a laser cutter table so I made plans for a "case" for my PSM. This is the end result of our creativity.

It is actually 3 platforms so I can increase the height of the platforms to accommodate various add ins. The top platform holds the PSM. The second platform holds a m100 keyboard which I drilled 3 holes in the case for mounting screws. Also I had a section cut out below the PSM so that there would be ample prototyping room. The lower platform has a breadboard and a battery holder. The breadboard has the connections to the keyboard and a DS1302 clock circuit. By the way as you can see by one the dates on the pictures I got this to work as a time machine .

blittled very nice where did you get the keyboard?

mikediv: I got the keyboard from Bean (Hitt Consulting) at the UPNE. You probably could e-mail him since he seemed to have quite a few of them. The forum link for the keyboard is http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=702473

Hi Blitted,
I followed your link for the keyboard and got lots of information.
I have one question though...I could not see the answer for it....The Tx pin is said to be Rs232 ....is it TTL level Asynchronous Serial
or is it RS232 (+12V to -12V) I think it is TTL and is 3.3V at that since that is the power to the keyboard....but I just want to make sure????
Please let me know...
Very nice set up you have by the way...I like the clear plastic work....nice!
Thanks
Samuel
