Project Redwood 3.0 -by ZapWizard -Jan 15th '05

Update?

 

Update coming soon.
I kinda messed up the front faceplate with some envirotex leaking out where I didn't want it.
I am designing and testing the Qwheel circuit, once all the circuits are made I will build a new faceplate.

 

damn thats hott dude, could have fooled me, looks real as hell, keep it comin!

 

Sounds like a major setback, but none the less.. that qwheel is gonna be awsome!

 

Thanks.

 

update? news? funny anecdote? anything?

 

still nothing? u on vacation zap?it's looking beautiful so far, i hope to see it finished soon.shame you can't get to the million man lan, would love to have seen this in person.

 

Come on Zap are you taking a Vacation!

Ha Ha

 

Zap it would be nice for a update but from seeing all the work you have done so far take as much time you need, heck even go on vaction because this is a A+ job you got going on.

 

I am kind of on vacation (from modding)

Basicly I have a contract at work that is letting up soon, and I am securing a new job (hopefully same company). That limits my time and money for modding.

I have revised some ideas though.
Rather then use a QT140 4 sensor touch IC, I have decided to make little pop-in modules, each with their own QT110 IC, LED and connections. That way I can move some of the circuitry into the faceplate, rather then a seperate PCB.

The QWheel circuit is designed, but I need to order the parts to prototype it.

 

Well, good luck with the job thing, Zap; 'twould be a pity for you not to work with the greatest CPU company on earth

 

Well take all the time you need because if you are left without a job, well lets just head to the equation below:

Code:

Zapwizard  + Job = Cash = Modding

BUT

Zapwizard + Unemployment = x

x = well, lets just put it this way, we dont want to know.

 

X = Free money from the State and lots 'o modding time??

 

LOL...problem is that my contract is expiring, I get no benifits from the gov.
I already have a few interviews lined up, so I shouldn't have too much of a gap in modding.

 

I've really enjoyed the project (just finished reading the whole thread); I'm always impressed by your ability to tackle problems that seem insurmountable. Good luck with the interview!

 

For your resumé, just slide the interviewer a piece of paper with only the URL to your BitTech profile page. Presto, instant job.

Good luck in your search - I'm sure you'll do fine. In the meantime, we'll wait patiently for an update.

 

It does depend on the company were he's applying for a job. I would hand a over a link to this mod if I were applying at some kind of wellfair company against the chopping of wood of the rainforrests

But Nevertheless, it does show your creativity and "handyman" skillz

 

Can't wait to see more when you get time!

Goodluck with teh job.

 

That can't be right, I could have sworn that he was working for AMD...

 

zap, with your obvious talent for designing beautiful cases, perhaps you should join intel and apple in their new merger and make the worlds finest p4 mac case.
