first at all very bad news i have to reclaim my case over night it looked like this but i think i get a new one in a few days... now the good news i decided to make a new plexiglas panel for the keyboard first of all a new edge do get a clean finish here the complete view its very clean and thin (13mm) perfect for my mod Vito Corleone
How did you do the helixes, light and all? Where did you peel the keyboard off of? What i quoted says it all, this is very sweet s*** sir. Sweet blocks also, amazing work.
thanks for the compliments @elctroJunky a good idea but i think ill use white plexiglas i like the combination white, red/orange and silver it is perfect for a resident evil umbrella corp mod @customholle you can find everything in the topic to make these helixes the keyboard is a keysonic keyboard, there are just a few screws, and you have this nice keyboard http://www.keysonic.de/pages/products/keyboards/mini/ACK_620_WK/ACK_620_WK.html @Neoki make your own @invalid thanks, thats what i wanted to make it should look like somethings out of a movie
I knew you would say that Vito ;-) I'll perhaps try that myself one day... not as a keyboard mod, but rather a self designed black-plexi case (I'm tired of all those clear plexi cases) with embedded touch sensitive keys for sveral purposes...
you know that these touch sensitive sensors are very expensive in the past i planed a touch panel, you can find at star treck but it was too expensive...
Yes I know, but I hope to find a way around. May be it's possible to build a matrix with the touch sensor IC QT110... Each QT110 (costs 2 € @"farnell in one") makes a touch sensor with a few external components. Now let's say instead of a single metal plate as touch sensitive (or in fact proximity sensitive) electrode you could use a thin wire. You cross that wire with another wire that is the electrode for another IC. If this works you would have 3 buttons with just 2 IC's (signals have to be processed by a µC of course). 1st switch: sensor 1 and 2 activated 2nd switch: sensor 1 only 3rd switch: sensor 2 only Let's say we buy 10 of them (20 €) and build a 2x8 matrix. (of course a 5x5 matrix would give us 25 keys +10 for each sensor being singular activated, but only at the first look). If you wire that matrix the right way you could have at least 255 switches. Well, that only if you're willing to go trough the process of wiring a binary matrix. Anyway, if it's possible to build even a simple matrix out of touch sensitive wire electrodes one could vastly decrease the costs for applications with touch sensitive switches... (only compare the price for buying 25 of the IC's instead of 10 -for the simple 5x5 matrix-) May be even IC's with multiple electrode inputs exist, and even if not, you could still create the needed circuits from cheaper parts(that of course would at least require some googling for circuit diagrams).
ok after some waiting i got a new case so i started with the logo its just the first test, there is still much to do this is just hand sawed now i have to start with some sanding and polishing... and i got my new 15" eizo tft from ebay so i dismounted it and bought some hinges to get the tft later moved here you see the size itll be a lot of work... and it works a big thanks to Shoggy from Aqua-Computer who made this wallpaper Edit: ok the round logo was not right, so is started some sanding i still have to polish it and so on... Vito Corleone
i absolutely love this. t virus and your other project are very clean. they look almost factory. great job.
Is the wall paper in the public domain yet? IOW where can i download it ? This is still looking sweet.
thanks @elctroJunky it sound good but a bit too complex for my knowledge of electronics @Fatboy hmm ok you are right, but i also remember of a round one... ill try to cut the curves @AJB2K3 no it is not puplic, as i wrote it was made by Shoggy from Aqua-Computer and i dont think itll be puplic untill i finished the project
