Chris, this is a textbook example of a community project evolving well. And exemplary communication of progress. Thanks a lot! Truely made in Canada! Keep up your good work and habits!

I'll read your earlier messages again - though if you didn't mention yet: what's the display resolution? The one you're using here? And its dimensions? TIA

Walter, the display is of 132 x 32 pixels. The module measures 55 x 28mm w/ display area of about 48 x 13mm.

The PCB as shown [edit] in the video [/edit] is 100 x 58mm. The next version will be 120 x 60mm. The 3d printed enclosure will be [edit] have a shell wall of [/edit] about 1mm thick, so the unit should be 122 x 62 x 10mm, or close to that.

I really want to make it thin and handy to put in a shirt pocket. My imaginary enclose is like this.

   

The coin cell (and also may be the MCU) will move to the top side of the PCB to keep the unit thin. The 4 1st row keys will be squeeze to the right side of the unit.

I will put some thoughts on expansion elements (type of connectors / sockets, etc).
