Using a PI would be very different, as it would run on top a OS. It may not the the instant-on instant-off attribute of a direct MCU build. But definitely will work for a desktop calculator. Although not very common, there are 6 digits x 14 segments LED module that you can use. We have not initiate batch LCD production. I have about 10 samples. The combined cost for a batch of 300 units would likely be a bit less than $1000. Which is very attractive if we have the scale. Consider the graphic option (plan B), the display alone would cost $30 (if acquired in US, from China it's $12, but not reliable supply). (12-17-2015 09:18 PM)Massimo Gnerucci Wrote: Ditto! Fantastic contrast.I am also very impressed w/ the contrast outcome! I was discourage w/ the last build. I was thinking to create plan B for a kit, it will be easier to assemble and more reliable (fewer traces, fewer problems). There are many things that can go wrong w/ the custom LCD version (which did). I was thinking to just leave it there after I finish my build, and if there are a few here would like the LCD they can get them from me. But l will let the project lead itself, will work on plan B, get a keyboard for plan A and see how it goes. Plan A will be slower though. |
