Re: TI-H: SPinTerface is JUST a link port with a power supply
Wow, its been a while since I've posted. Anyhow...
Would you still be interested in doing a SPinTerface
version of the EII? Its going to be a lot bigger
than the ESF but it will have a module port and
it would be great if that port was compatible with
all of the other SPinTerface stuff out there. At
the very least, are you interested in building
finished units? The EII is almost done and I need
-qualified- subcontractors. I will be supplying
the AVRs and PCBs but it would be your job to
solder the thing together and to get the other
parts, then test, distribute, and so forth, the
device. The idea is to get enough contractors to keep
prices down and things moving. Still, I imagine you'll
be able to make at least $10 off of each unit... not
bad considering they take under 45 min to build using
a PCB.
On another note... I've started writing the TI-86
driver for the EII, but I do not have access to a
TI-83 or a TI-85. If anyone out there would be
interested in porting my TI-86 code to the TI-85
(not especially difficult) or the TI-83 (a bit more work)
I'd love to hear from you. I know the TI-85 guys
really need a driver so I'll try to get that done myself
if nobody else wants to.
If you haven't already, check out the EII project
homepage: http://www.bridges.edu/horizon/eii/
I don't have much word of mouth yet because the TI-85
drivers aren't done and the device is still in the
testing stage... so if you'd spread the URL around
I'd greatly appreciate it.
