It's on its way to Stan for testing; once he's happy, production starts. I'll make an announcement then.

Yeah yeah yeah, did you never get distracted?

looks awsome cant wait to get one

Looks good!

So when can we start ordering?

Neil - I think I probably know the answer to the question, but I'll ask anyway.

Is it possible to have the device mounted onto the back of the mounting late without using bolts that go through the plate? I know this would require some kind of boss on the underside for using self-tappers

If not, might I suggest that black countersunk allen screws would be aesthetically more pleasing

As for the actual device - I'm in awe - I've always wondered if I could hack a Sykes Pickavant code reader to do what you've done - no need now

Nigel, I've always wanted to do a clean mount, but it's tricky. It would need a threaded bar gluing to the back (of just the right thickness and offset) and screws of just the right length - there's no margin for error and a big risk of getting glue on the display when I fix it

The reason it has those particular bolts (M3*12 T10) is because I *wanted* M3 black or silver allen machine screws, but my supplier couldn't supply.

And now I have a couple of hundred of these left

The plates are ordered drilled, so a non-drilled would have to be an expensive special, but you could certainly countersink and replace the bolts if that was your choice. Frankly, I rather like the T10s.

Oh thanks Neil.

Now I am thinking of Salma Hayek !





Lines up my dummy next to Ross's

Come on Neil serve the niche !

So I expect that means you want me to refit my seats?

Hammer is at the ready, let the testing begin!

Looks very good!!!

I'm sorry, this is a problem why?

Neil, www.modelfixings.co.uk might be worth a look.
As for how it looks... Like it needs a box!
Seriously though, are the blue/white screens a genuine option?

Sorry, but I missed the haiku page the first time round

Nah, you have to do it 5-7-5 syllables... you *nearly* made it!

Colour possibilities: - note that on all these, the image will be black(ish) on the LED colour and in daylight they'll all look pretty much black and white because of reflected daylight. In the dark, they'll show the LED colour.

3) White/Black: http://img-europe.electrocomponents.com/largeimages/R5327063-99.jpg

The one in my pics is green; in the dark it's quite bright!

i like the blue/black option, think that would look cool!!

Agreed!

You'll be able to specify the colour when you order.

Sorry just coming out the daze now...

Oh dear seems I have a lot of work to do

Slightly off-topic, but it's my thread, so...

Salma Hayek as the proof for the existence of god. For entertainment only; any arguments will get eaten by my super-powers.

think people will choose to the colour of what colour coop they have like i will choose green

can i have a silver one then to match mine.
Neil which one of the colours can you see best in the day. As i wouldn't know which one to choose, so the one you can see best would be the one i will have.


Oh and its looks very very nice all finished in the dash.

Thanks Ash

The datasheet says the green has the best contrast ratio, but without having seen the others I can't confirm.

Green it is then Neil, looking forward to it, keep up the good work mate.

Ash

Thank you neil for brightening up my day

I want to be the first french to acquire one of these
