Hi Mastro,<br>
<br>
the SimpleConsole is a small box providing just four push buttons
and LEDs. It's supported by the Twizy firmware at the moment to
switch driving profiles on the fly, but may be useful for other
vehicles as well in the future.<br>
<br>
For details see...<br>

<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 moz-do-not-send="true"

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>

Mark, I'll be in HK/Shenzhen in April to attend this: <a

from hk). Contact me in private if you're interested!<br>

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>
