Voyager hp-15c logo gone missing..
Message #1 Posted by uhmgawa on 17 Sept 2010, 11:19 p.m.

I just purchased a 15c which appears to have lost the logo button somewhere between the seller and I..

Anyway I thought to create an aluminum replacement, either cast or CNC engraved. To that end I'd really like to work from a high resolution scan of a 15c logo in pristine condition. A scan is preferable to a digicam from an image linearity perspective, but getting a reflective surface to render on a scanner can be involved and beggars can't be choosy.

I did find this in the archives:

http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv016.cgi?read=108478

Which is certainly helpful but it is easier to work from a image taken normal to the surface.

Alternatively I can create a mold from a "spare" 15c logo to cast a replacement if anyone has suggestions where/how to find one in reasonable shape. But that doesn't scale too well for others who may also be in need of the same. Assuming the replacement aluminum logo doesn't wander off to the land of no return, it shouldn't suffer the wear out of the chrome (painted) original. Sort of makes one wonder why somebody hasn't surfaced selling these yet on EEEbay..

If you do manage to reproduce the logo, I'd be interested in one for my 15c.

Maybe not necessarily. Here is a 16c logo jpeg captured via canon a630 digicam. The image barrelling lessens considerably by backing off a bit. This was just a quick handheld attempt so I needed to rotate the cockeyed image a tad in gimp which resulted in some minor aliasing:

The relief on the surface of the icon recesses is enough to catch the incident light and form a usable outline which should work well -- assuming the prospective 15c logo is pristine enough to still have a complete reflective surface.

Anyone with a museum quality 15c who would be willing to offer a jpeg to the less fortunate? ;)

Thanks!

Sadly it isn't the budget which I hit as a limitation but rather available time.

I know this thread must sound trite to some but the glaring omission of the logo looks like hell against the balance of the 15c which is in surprising good condition.

wow, if this is something easy for you to do, I would like to get a custom one done for a highly modded voyager project that I am doing.

anyway, looks like you got your photos

If you don't already know, the original badge is a hollow injection moulded piece, affixed with a piece of double-sided foam tape.

It is essentially straightforward to do. Being "easy" is more subjective but after rattling around with this for about a day I can see three approaches:

1. Directly mill it from Al sheet. This can be via CNC or even a one-off dremel in a pantograph following a hand cut template fabricated in more relaxed dimensions.

2. Create a mold from an existing logo in either plaster or thinned joint compound. Getting the master logo is likely the rub but one could also be created from a softer material such as delrin or even machinable wax. I think this has some merit as the engraving operation potentially needs to be performed only once and assuming the finished logo external perimeter is also part of the casting the remaining work can be limited to some minor dimensioning with a simple sand paper jig.

3. Chemically etch the pattern/relief. The familiar laser toner transfer may work here. I'm concerned about undercut etching particularly given a deep 0.2mm relief but some simple experimentation might be worthwhile. FeCl eats Al with spectacular aggression so it may be entertaining as well. The artwork can be created with any suitable CAD/drawing tool.

Note you don't need particularly pristine cast/milled surfaces initially in the logo. The relief is painted in flat black, and when finishing the logo, its display surface will likely be cut in abrasively to remove the surface paint overspray and true it flat and parallel to the base. You can likely get a mirror surface if that's what you're after. I'd probably leave some brushed texture on it to hide the inevitable wear as it projects beyond the bezel and is a magnet for scuffs and dings. Then again the solid Al body isn't going to have anywhere near the fragility of the original painted/plated ABS gem.

I'll get around to it at some point. I'll certainly create a mechanical drawing and post it here. If others are inclined to poke at it before I, please do share your results.

Interesting. The new 15c casualty and my existing pristine 16c seem to have remains of an RTV type compound on the body in the perimeter of the logo. Would have dismissed it on the 15c alone as a repair attempt. Dunno.

I still cannot understand why HP didn't put a little more thought into this cosmetic Achilles Heel of the voyager series, given it carries their logo. Even an Al die stamped version would have been routine manufacturing back then IIRC.

BTW your mention of a "highly modded voyager" up there caught my curiosity. Might you have a pointer or otherwise mind describing what you've done?

Thanks!

Sure; a couple projects glommed together about a month back. I had often thought of making a 'cryptographic calculator', and since I always loved the Voyager's physical design, I decided to take a 12C, and re-brain it.

Its for fun mostly, but it will probably have 15 and 16 emulations in addition to my cryptographic functions. To add some baroqueness, I will probably put in a hardware RNG, an Atalla 8150 emulation, and a DUKPT PIN Pad.

Physically, I would like to anodize the bezel purple or blue, but I don't really know any local platers here. And I would love to have a logo, which I intended to be a 'dl' stylized like the 'hp', and the number 13C since there was never an HP13. A friend of mine will embroider the slip case, and another buddy should be able to silkscreen the plates and hopefully the keys too.

I'll be happy to send you my extracted 12C badge so you can do measurements, especially if you think you can produce about 5 of the 'dl 13C' badges ;). I can provide artwork for the logo.

I have been chronicling the project with a journal and photos, however I haven't made a web page for it. At this point I have totally broken down the unit (removed all the plates, etc), found a new display (which is non-ideal, alas, but I'll have to come back to finding a better one later), and am about ready to take the Dremel to the PCB to make room for the new LCD.

That's generally how I wound up here. Having admired the voyager's footprint but wanting to add features of personal interest. The other dimension of insanity, considering to manufacture a near form factor voyager replica, grew out of my early shock, awe, and disgust of the auction prices for a 15c specimen on EEEbay.

Quote:

I have a 16c, a recent version 12c, and the sad void where a logo used to be on the 15c. I've drawn preliminary measurements for 15c artwork but it isn't yet complete. Note the bezel void which accepts the logo measures a square 9.4mm on the old voyagers but about 9.32mm on the new 12c.

The display is the royal PITA here. While the dumbed-down 7 segment voyager display seems a little dated, it does the job and the lower multiplex ratio yields superior contrast compared even to the 4:1 ratio of later voyager lcds. But you won't find anything close to a usable numeric lcd off the shelf.

So I looked at matrix character displays (yawn) as well as lower resolution graphic modules (122x32) which conceptually should work for main numeric + annunciators. But the contrast isn't anywhere near equivalent due to the higher multiplex rate. The power consumption is horrid due to use of relatively high current resistive dividers in the voltage ladder, and most are transreflective to accommodate backlighting which isn't needed here and further worsens contrast.

The best compromise I found was a 16 character x 2 line character reflective display, where I removed the low impedance resistive divider, replacing it with a 1000x higher impedance divider buffered by ultra low current opamps. Doing so I was able to tame the display on+idle current under 100uA IIRC. The modern 12c has an entire system idle current (which admittedly is mostly due to lcd scan) somewhere around 20uA (again IIRC).

Still in the end it is a character display and the UI needs some massaging as interdigit "." and "," now consume a full character position. And annunciators are going to be big and ugly. Mechanically though it happens to bond the glass to driver via a conductive heat seal tape connector which minimizes z-axis bulk. Most off the shelf lcd modules with integral driver use an elastomeric zebra strip to connect the glass and driver pcb which requires a compression frame to make the shebang work. That's likely why you wont find anything resembling a commercial display module in any mass produced calculator.

Haha, well, you clearly know your stuff. My approach in this project is to make it work at the expense of making it be the thing I would ultimately dream it to be. You will puke when you see my LCD compromise. I think I know of the driver-on-glass unit you mention -- works great for thickness but will cut into the keyboard according to my measurements.

Anyway, you inspired me to stick what I have done on the web here: daves ridiculous calculator This is essentially cut-and-paste from my Word file with which I am journaling. Up to this point I have merely disassembled and selected components. Now I am getting into the real surgery... And codeing... (codeine?)

There really isn't any happy compromise between off the shelf stuff which was never designed for the requirements of a calculator or paying for cu$tom lcd glass. I'll bet if one located the manufacturer producing the display glass used in the new voyager 12c it might be pretty cheap to acquire a small sample lot. Well, unless HP has their head in a vise contractually which it may.

You mention interest in a 24 character display. There is a 24 char x 1 line Wintek lcd which has been around in surplus for quite some time and although wider than the voyager display aperture can be made to fit. The downside it the controller drive is configured to operate from 5V only (yet the controller logic is characterized down to 2.4v). The good news is you can talk to it via i2c.

Huh. I didn't realize the displays of old 12c models used a zebra + compression frame. The new 12c uses a 30 conductor heat seal tape with the funky anisotropic conductive compound.

This is very useful information. Thanks for sharing it.

There seems to be a common need between restoration/repurposing (here) voyager key legend and bottom panel bezels, and simply making legend bezels for completely original work.

Given the level of commodity color inkjet and laser printing the technology is certainly in place. What is needed is a durable means to wrap it up for use generating legend bezels. Printable plastic film exists which could be overlaid with a second protective lamination layer. The result could be machined in whatever form is needed. The only issue is how well the resulting lamination joint would be such that it was sealed against contamination, moisture, delamination, etc..

Restoration purists may scorn the notion of replacing an original Al bezel with a plastic laminate. But it would certainly be far more abrasion resistant than the original and the fact one can print/machine replacements as needed makes me get over that real quick.

Yes, and since I'm not restoring, it doesn't matter to me. The brushed Al faceplate is also the bane of the unit's cosmetics over time. Steel would probably have stood up better.

Will have to look at the Wintek display; if it fits, that might be even better than the Hantronix I found.

If you still have access to the innards, could you put a caliper on the upper case body heat stake posts and get a diameter measurement? I believe they are 1.6mm (62.5mils for those of us still stuck in the stone age). Unsure about the diameter of the mating holes in the PCB but they appear to give a healthy clearance (~84mils) and are probably easiest to measure using a drill bit shank as a gauge. I'm thinking to cobble together a jig for restoring the stake length after pcb extraction such that they can be (re)set similar to that used during manufacture.

Thanks!

That was my estimate of eyeballing the one odd stake which appears unset during fabrication of every legacy voyager I've seen thus far. It is in the north-east corner of the PCB (as viewed from the bottom) and I took a guess at the PCB hole with a caliper and jeweler's loupe. Could be manufacturing variation or I may certainly be off. From that, it seems the unseated stakes sat proud of the PCB by about 108mils to provide the bulk of the head which were seated thermally AFAICT by a concave spherical cap die.

One other question if you have the patient handy is the diameter and vertical height of the snap domes at rest? I've measured the actuation forces of the 15/16/12C units here which average ~150gm. The latest ARM7 12Cs have a more distinct tactile action by comparison. Circular snap domes were used in the legacy voyagers which tend to have a softer threshold action compared to the legged domes in the current ARM7 12Cs. I believe the actuation force itself however was comparable.

Anyway, snapdisks. d = 0.3590 h = 0.0170 (w/film)

Interesting about the newer 12c snapdisk design. I don't have any way of measuring the force.

Yea that unset stake seems to exist in all voyagers I've inspected. The most recent of which is a 12C Malaysian mfg unit with "99.11.10.1" hand written on the PCB, and shares only the housing configuration with the earlier units. Seems reasonable as there probably wasn't any reason to retool molds for the case. This incidentally is the 3x LR44 cell transient design with a single lqfp-80 package 1RR2 CPU/ROM/RAM/LCD controller: 4.5V and keyboard scan in, LCD drive out. No bus to sniff nor drive so it isn't very interesting beyond mechanical spare parts.

Quote:

Thanks. Looks like a 9mm dome might work. I'll put a digital/dial gauge on a dome to measure deflection when I free the board. But I expect that isn't critical.

Quote:

Besides the domes fatiguing there also is the issue of the hard gold plating wearing due to scrubbing from dome actuation. That's a bit more involved to repair but I believe nickel plate should be possible and is commonly used as a hard PCB contract treatment for snap domes.

Quote:

I picked up a cheap digital jewelery scale back when I was evaluating snap domes. Not the most exact measurement technique but it far exceeds the end use variation in actuation force between identical snap domes. I found +/- 10% variation to be relatively common. I believe to a user the width of the actuation threshold is more noticeable than the actuation force itself (within reason).

BTW on your retrofit, did you need alphanumeric capability or could you have lived within the numeric + annunciator segment constraints of existing LCD?

Thanks.

This project is just a lark for me, and so it's not really critical either way. Ultimately for me it's a balance of fun against aesthetics. Using the original display would look authentic, but I'd have to make an LCD driver, and then too the alpha capability gives me some functional richness.
Actually that reminds me -- I'm ready to do some dremmelling of the PCB now since I have (most) parts in...

I have made logos for an 11c out of silver. There are a few extremely small differences, but I am getting better at casting.

Here is a link to my caveman initial attempt. My newer attempts are much more successful.

If anyone is interested in 11c logos, I have about five left from my newer batch.

For those interested in 15C logos, please send me an email at my registered email and we can discuss the details. I will need a high-quality model to create a mould from. I don't care if it has any metal on it, all black would work just fine.

I've been looking for one. Unfortunately when available they are typically attached to the rest of a hp-15c which I suppose in the bigger picture isn't all that bad. ;)

Even if the logo has physical (vs. cosmetic) wear, to some entent this can be carved out of the mold with some care. As you're going to recut the top surface anyway it shouldn't be too terribly critical.

I believe I need to discuss any future work with HP. For some strange reason, the "HP" trademark might be important to folks in suits. Once I get this secured - and it may take a long time - I will let folks know.

If you have one for donation, I will replace yours with a silver one for free.

But I will hold off any further reproduction in the hopes of avoiding a cease and desist letter arriving at my post box.

(To whom it may concern, your request for an HP 13X logo is under consideration. Since the "HP" portion is still there, I have to take care of that issue first before I get my Pro-E guru working up a model.)

Considering the money they've dumped into grooming that corporate logo, and more importantly their corresponding investment in copyright and trademark protection for it, they probably won't take too kindly to any revenue derived from it without license.

Then again they may not care. You could claim to be offering a restoration service and attempt to circumvent the issue arguing you're maintaining the conservation of voyager logos, by not adding to the number in circulation on the planet. A fatigued ABS casualty arrives and a new logo is sent in its place. But I'm not sure I'd want to spin that roulette wheel against the litigation resources of HP.

It can't do any harm to again hear of prospective customers for this forgotten product line. As well as the extremes some of the loyal following are willing go to restore the old units.

IANAL but it seems to me if I have an HP calc which is in need of logo repair, there isn't any legal prohibition for myself as the owner to restore it cosmetically including creation of a logo. Dunno what that might mean if I sold the unit but I'd hazard empirically HP won't give a hoot. Outright selling their logo is where I'd get nervous.

You might also add/define Impoxy, Empoxy, Co-poxy, and then of course - the purely pejorative one: Poxy! (An epithet, used as the Brits use the term Bloody)...... ;o)
