Bad form I know, but these didn't seem worth making in separate posts. 1. I see spacer kits are out of stock. Any ETA on replenishment? 2. On the general subject of enclosures: Is Gumstix, Inc. considering offering something (I know there's a ton of possible board configs)? Or, has anyone on the list found someone who does reasonably priced one-offs (I'm not a volume consumer)? 3. Regarding the Wiki, is email registration working on the new platform yet? I tried to register so I could post and never received a confirmation message... 4. Also Wiki... Another poster mentioned having a projects section; I like that idea. To expand on that, is the Wiki a suitable place to offer complete binaries in addition to instructions. I'm working on cross-compiling several packages to the 'stix with good luck so far. Mostly stuff that would have to be symlinked from an MMC due to size (think "PHP"). Or is this better hosted elsewhere and linked from the Wiki? Please feel free to start a new thread off of any of these topics. I won't feel hi-jacked :) Laker __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Yes, we are building enclosures for connex-based configurations that are planned to be released as new waysmall computers, this summer. Look for connex+netCF first, then one or two others to follow. We have several goals in doing this: 1. build enclosed products based on the connex platform, building on the existing basix-based waysmall computer line. 2. offer enclosed computers with 10/100 ethernet capabilities. 3. develop a design process by which customers can build their own cases on any variety of gumstix boards. 4. By giving customers a case-building enclosure, provide a means by which any combination of gumstix boards may be fixed together in a secure, customer-designed enclosure. >3. Regarding the Wiki, is email registration working >on the new platform yet? I tried to register so I >could post and never received a confirmation >message... I just tested this account creation at docswiki and was sent an email confirmation. hmmm Note: Including an email address in the registration is required in order to be sent the notification on signup or when a new password is needed. >4.

1. Spacers available - Great! 2. Your enclosure plans sound awesome. 3. Wiki registration issue - my fault, my anti-spam had it trapped, whitelisting your domain fixed that :) 4. The project info is good so far, but I probably didn't phrase my concept very well. I'm curious about setting up a section in the Wiki for "ready-to-download" binaries of packages to big or specialized for buildroot. So far, I have PHP 5.1.4, OpenLDAP and a full version of TCL 8.13 running and am re-working EXPECT to run as well. I'm happy to share what I have so far and just wanted to know if uploading several meg of binaries to the Wiki was feasible or appropriate? :) Thanks, Laker --- Don Anderson <do...@gu...> wrote: > Hi Laker > > see my comments interleaved below: > > > Don > @ gumstix > > > At 7:40 AM -0700 7/14/06, Laker Netman wrote: > >Bad form I know, but these didn't seem worth making > in > >separate posts. > >1.

We've had an ME intern working for us this summer, who has built a set of scripts which basically take physical descriptions of boards from Eagle, and create a CAD case around any stack of boards. That case design can then be brought into TurboCAD or whatnot and edited for style, or you can just send it directly to a manufacturer for building. Initially, while we work the kinks out, we're going to be basically running the scripts ourselves for the more popular/logical board combinations to create a number of "waysmall computer" type enclosures for some of the network-enabling boards. I've seen prototype cases on his desk for netCF + gumstix, netMMC+gumstix, netDUO+gumstix, thumbstix +gumstix; I think next on the list after those will probably be wifistix+gumstix and wifi-CF+gumstix.

just A thought on this, but for physical interface reasons I put the headers of my robostix-TH on the the side taht is away from all the hard ware.....Is there some way you can account for this in the script? The reason I did this is to have an easier time of plugging in in stuff when it is connected to my gumstix+net MMC -Jesse W. >From: Craig Hughes <cr...@gu...> >Reply-To: "General mailing list for gumstix users." ><gum...@li...> >To: "General mailing list for gumstix users." ><gum...@li...> >Subject: Re: [Gumstix-users] Several small topics >Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2006 10:32:21 -0700 > >On Jul 14, 2006, at 8:06 AM, Don Anderson wrote: > >>3. develop a design process by which customers can build their own cases >>on any variety of gumstix boards. >> >>4.
