| @Tomppeli For a Sam you would need a full size version which is too expensive in small numbers. The case could hold other arm socs and pico itx boards. _________________ AROS Broadway - AEROS - Aminux - AmiCloud - indieGO!

Those were great looking compared to the original. He should dump the diskdrives in the center and replace them with two boing balls looking like an owl's eyes...now that would be cool I think. _________________ On Planet Boing Trevor is God |

| @Tomppeli The 120x120mm version would fit. I could adapt the bottom part.
Personally I believe a raspberry pi 2 would offer more. Uae4all is is getting a JIT enabled core. _________________ AROS Broadway - AEROS - Aminux - AmiCloud - indieGO! Appstore - AmiWallet - VAN lossless video codec - AMC Amiga media Center -KrypUnite - LibertyNet - MinX - amigaNX |

Many people have said the Walker is like a half of a barrel. I have seen a picture which was going to go to magazines as an ad where a couple of lines were drawn to the picture to give image of a telescope pipe part of a vacuum cleaner to give an idea like the computer was a vacuum cleaner.
The idea behind CDTV and Walker was to make computers as part of standard home appliances instead of being scary gray boxes with flashing leds and noisy fans.
Looking at Walker nowadays it looks a little bit like a saddle making you to want to sit on top of it. Last edited by Tomppeli on 14-Jul-2015 at 03:40 PM.

True, and cables in all directions, not just one, even more impractical. But it's small. Doesn't occupy lots of desk/floor space (hidden behind the TV?) and can be put away in very little space, cables disconnected and rolled up. Now your design was smaller than the original as well I read, so that's nice. The original walker was just a total space hogger

If the design choice is good enough for Apple, everyone should be happy about it!
Also, if you're targeting Amiga users, some would probably like usable 9pin joystick interfaces. Either via some USB converter, or perhaps wired directly to Raspberry Pi. |

| @amigang Thank you very much ; )
Small change: The W4LK3R will be the Walker
I had asked Petro about the rights and he told me that the guy behind it is not interested in licensing it...
Well... this was false. Details will follow. Happy joy joy : D

the Raspberry Pi sits in the bottom. The shown one is the low-cost version. I will offer a modified version of the bottom which holds a Keyrah V2.
All in all I plan to offer a configurator which let's you combine available stacks with different versions of the top and bottom part.
Whatever due to the small market they will be only available in a limited number.Last edited by phoenixkonsole on 15-Jul-2015 at 07:17 PM. Last edited by phoenixkonsole on 15-Jul-2015 at 07:01 PM. Last edited by phoenixkonsole on 15-Jul-2015 at 07:00 PM.

Has it finally fixed the issues with the joystick interfaces? Due to lag, they're practically useless for anything but some non-realtime games on V1, which was advertised with text Quote:
The joystick ports show a special strength of Keyrah: The high data transfer speed. For the full gaming fun, Keyrah transfers its data ten times faster than some USB joysticks do! |
(I seriously don't want to try the joysticks that are even slower...)Last edited by Jupp3 on 16-Jul-2015 at 08:59 AM.

| @amiga.org thread It is planned to produce up to 400 cases (limiting it) Material is PLA and they are handmade in cooperation with a friend called 3d printer. The quality is fine because the layers are only 0.05mm thick . I will prepare the surface with chemicals to give it a perfect look if needed. The chemical vaporizes and there is no health risk for you( I wear a mask)
The images I've posted are not created in a freestyle 3d modeler but a 3d cad system called Solid Edge. It is a assembly consisting of printable components.
I plan to offer multiple versions of the top and bottom part. For example no 2.8" touchscreen but a 3.5" slot with cover for a USB/sd-card/cf card slot (only short devices would fit because of the small depth.) The bottom could offer to 9-pin ports and so on. You will be able to chooses from those variants.
I will upload a drawing with dimensions so you get a better feeling how mini it is.
I will not produce cases in advance. _________________ AROS Broadway - AEROS - Aminux - AmiCloud - indieGO! Appstore - AmiWallet - VAN lossless video codec - AMC Amiga media Center -KrypUnite - LibertyNet - MinX - amigaNX |
