<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi guys, I would have replied earlier but I'm very busy with my job. The 3G module issue is interesting, and brings another point to the Mbed that has a library for a USB 3G modem (<a href="http://mbed.org/components/Vodafone-K3770-3G-Modem/" target="_blank">http://mbed.org/components/Vodafone-K3770-3G-Modem/</a>). I don't really like that solution, but it's interesting.<br>
</div>What is that SimpleConsole you're all talking about? I can't find any info about it in previous mails or in fasttech website...<br></div>Mark, I'll be in HK/Shenzhen in April to attend this: <a href="http://dangerousprototypes.com/hackercampshenzhen/about/">http://dangerousprototypes.com/hackercampshenzhen/about/</a> , if you want I'd really like to meet you (and other devs from hk). Contact me in private if you're interested!<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Well, there are just 5 pre-orders from germany up to now, so I'm not that sure we'll even reach the minimum quantity.<br>
<br>
Anyway, my thought for the product requirements:<br>
<br>
- It doesn't need to be waterproof -- on an open Twizy it should be put in the glove box while parking anyway, because of vandalism. Even if you leave it mounted, it will only get some rain drops from real bad weather.<br>
<br>
- The case should be small enough to mount it anywhere using velcro tape.<br>
<br>
- The buttons should be large enough and provide good feedback for usage with gloves.<br>
<br>
- The LEDs should IMO be colour coded as in my example build -- but that's maybe my personal taste. Anyway they should be bright and large enough to be visible in normal daylight.<br>
<br>
- I secure the cable by fixing it with the case covers, but that's really something not suitable for a professional version. A standard (round) cable would also be better than a flat one.<br>
<br>

I think price will depend largely on quantity. The PCB and components should be very cheap and easy. Main issue will be finding a case and getting it customised for our needs - does it need to be waterproof? Also, the expansion connector on the motherboard and cable arrangements are tricky.<br>

Hi Mark,<br>
<br>
thanks for the info.<br>
<br>
Regarding the SimpleConsole: I'll ask for preorders in the german forum. Maybe someone could collect preorders for France (Julien?) and UK (Nikki?)?<br>
<br>
I spent about 15-20 Euro (20-25 US$) for the single parts, can we assume the Fasttech pricing will not exceed this?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Michael<br>
