Title: The 1st homemade Nspire full-dock connector
Post by: critor on November 11, 2011, 09:25:07 am
You've dreamed of it? ;)

Levak made it. :)



The 1st real homemade Nspire dock connector with all 26 wires.

Just imagine everything you could do with that:
- power external peripherals
- connect a 2nd USB port
- power your Nspire externally
- connect a SD card reader
- connect a WiFi module
- ...

Where is he? So I can uprate him :P
EDIT: Also, why is that bottom part of that picture 'censored'?

Levak, come here!

I think the upload on Levak's server did fail on that file.

Arduino based?
EDIT: Didn't catch the extra images. Looks simple considering I have a breadboard and a huge collection of LEDS and wires.

Where do you see an Arduino ?

Yes, if you want you can connect an Arduino. Here is only a docking station that let you fix the Nspire in a border of the table and it won't move anymore when testing connections. It is smarter (if it is well done) to test pins and protocols than using manual an creepy connections like that

Arduino or communicating protocols is something aside

very posible and quite easy to do, actually.
The best way to do this is to dpuplicate the good wires (tx and gnd I think), link them to an externale speaker, and put a switch between the wires and the speaker so you only get sound when wanted, and then don't get weird sounds because of some real data coming out of the TX ... :P

But that is just what we want! :P

Not good for colorblind people like me and Jim. :(
:P It's not too bad, I still see the difference with most colors. It's just that I can mix red and green up.
