Hello,<br><br>Recommendations for better hardware on Openmoko.<br><br>1)A 600 Mhz processor is minimally required to run the OS at usable speeds.An 800 Mhz processor would be good across all OSes.A 1Ghz processor would be too costly<br>
2)Please use ADXL335 accelerometer whose sensor output is better, less noisy, smooth transition and will be better to develop applications.Also please provide a direct access to ADC read from the processor and not a text file dump and then read method.<br>
3)A tilt compensation 1 axis or 3 axis magnetometer would be good.<br><br>With a better processor speed there is no turning back for Openmoko.<br><br>Sincerely<br>Sriranjan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 12:46 AM, Alfa21 <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:freerunner@my.is.it">freerunner@my.is.it</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I agree... but is 3d printing etc. just for prototypes or do you plan to use that also for the final product (with big volumes mass production)?<br>
<br>
I think 3d printing is ok only for the first case, to try also different shapes before but finalized to build the final and more precise mould.<br>
<br>
also I think a classic mould process is expensive just for small scales but for a mass production it's cheaper (on a single unit) and _faster_ than 3d print.<br>
and also it's more appealing to the eye of the final customer to see a smoth and higrade product.<br>
<br>
btw I think this is the really last step in the production process.<br>
<br>
by now imho it's more adequate to replace the current circuit board from our gta0x and eventually drill holes if you plan to add some different connector to the pcb (maybe a hdmi?) ;)<br>
