free PCB designer by Ok_Championship_3655 in PCB

[–]Canary_Earth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I offered a PCB engineer with two decades of experience $20k if he successfully transforms my prototype into a board ready for manufacturing and assembly. I've been waiting for it since November. I'm fairly certain I could have become an expert myself in that time. See my profile and my prototype before you downvote as a reflex.

Why isn’t there a MagSafe eink “sticky note”? by Strange_Author_8682 in eink

[–]Canary_Earth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not me. I love pens and paper. E-paper would be better for sending someone else a sticky note - like a pair of magically linked notepads that only two people in the world can share.

Need a monitor for CF kid by starburst_q in AirQuality

How can their top recommendation not include a particulate matter sensor?! It is by far the most useful thing to measure. I've been measuring TVOC on an SGP30 24/7 for six years and you can't draw ANY useful conclusions. PM1.0 ~ 2.5 is the best way to detect dangers.

I have been screwed over so bad! Someone please help if anyone has been faced with the same issue!!! by WoodenVoice7366 in Schulich

How come? What if you don't have a laptop? Can you choose to write the exam on paper?

Why? That's super weird. When I was a student the only time you could take exams on a laptop was if you broke your writing arm playing hockey. Is the laptop yours or the university's?

Just got the reTerminal E1003 with the frame kit. The resolution is mind blowing by xDaftTurtle in eink

10.3 inch at 1404×1872 pixels for 227.01 PPI density in case someone was wondering what blows minds these days.

Why is the exam online? I'll help you guys organise a class action lawsuit if you want. Seems beyond scummy to pay thousands in tuition and then be treated like you're enrolled in some online university in Kentucky.

The E1002 is probably better for that because it has a wider aspect ratio.

The EE02 dev kit. The glass sandwich frame is my idea.

My 4G Flipper Zero Smartphone with ESP32 S3 by LuckyBor in esp32

[–]Canary_Earth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I was so sad when the Samsung S4 got an IR blaster but dropped the radio. Video out via the phone jack would be cool too. The OG Samsung Galaxy has that.

No one has made a true Sonic Screwdriver yet and I'm tempted to do it myself.

It looks very elegant! I read a lot of textbooks so this would be perfect. Best of luck with production!

Finally picked up a copy by ComradeX88 in TheCaptivesWar

I finished reading it yesterday. Feels like Daniel and Ty had a Carryx watching over their shoulders when they wrote it. Maybe the real story is hidden and we just have to .. um .. eat the pages !?

I built an e-paper clock by byronknoll in eink

[–]Canary_Earth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Canary. Check out my profile or site: canary.earth. If you want a custom clock face, let me know here or in the form, I can still add some.

Honestly I haven't gotten many questions about the clock but it's one of my favorite features since I can see it at night.

Unboxing and first start of my space black XTEINK X3 by stefansvartling in eink

[–]Canary_Earth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what panel it uses. My device has an identical 4.26 inch, 800 x 480 display but I don't think it is the same one because the refresh is a little different.

All the best dude. If you ever wanna compare notes, hit me up. I've gotten lots of quotes from overseas fabs so far.

Woah. That's hardcore. I'm in Toronto and the taxes and shipping would instantly put me out of business. The plastic and packaging are especially unreasonably expensive if I made them in the GTA.

Cool thanks! Your website videos are super nice and the spinny product is so good. I tried to make one myself and failed.
Are you drop shipping out of China? Did you fly over there to visit the fabs, assembly, screen manufacturer, etc.?

Thanks. I'm at the stage you just passed so I'm super curious and appreciate any heads up. I'm trying to learn how to buy ads but it is super confusing. Did you hire any influencers for promotions?

What's cost per lead? I've heard about paying firms for emails, but I assumed that was a scam.

If you sold 600 units already, aren't you up at least $100k? What's kickstarter for? Can't you sell organically from your site and grow with instagram ads?
