Tilt Sensor Add-ons for 32GB SD adapter for N810 Mod
 
Add on for the 32GB SD Adapter Mod that is already available

http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=23205

For every one who purchased the 32GB SD adapter with the metal door, I am now designing and building the other add-ons I promised.

These additions would require you the remove the extra holder stuck to the inside of the metal cover. This add on will stick in its place.

It will add to the Tablet, Tilt Sensor, Accelerometer, IR Transmit, IR Learning and IR receiver. This part will also have a expansion buss for additional features in the future.

There will also be 2 additional features that I do not want to reveal right now that will change the way the tablet's touch screen works.

I am starting this Thread to see if there is any interest from those who can write software to incorporate the new added features into their programs?

I am also looking for programmers to work for me to write new programs for the tablet that would change the way the tablet works in everyday use?

Any one who is interested can send me a private mail or contact me at cgraves256@optonline.net.

The features of this mod will make for interesting software enhancement for the N810 tablet. I will be ready with the product within March or at least this is my goal.
I will have the first prototypes in about 2 weeks then my software engineer will write the firmware and test the interface.

After that it is up to the community to help with the software interface to programs and to the OS. We can not write programs for the tablet due to time.

This module by it self will most likely work with all of the tablets but for now I am focusing on the N810.

For those sending email asking to purchase the tilt sensor now it is not ready to be purchased. I wll let you know if you send me email where to buy it when I am ready.

Also there are still some adapters left for any one who still want to get one.

Thanks for the support.

For how long do you think the adapters will be available?

Personally, if you made a Tilt Sensor + IR Blaster at a reasonable price and size, I would defiantly buy one. Much more appealing to the "inner hacker" than the card adapter. Can't wait.

Can you post some details about the components that you'll be using? If the manufacturers are open source friendly, and already have GPLed drivers, it should be a breeze to make the hardware accessible under maemo or even android. I'd be interested in one even if few apps make use of it - it'll be an awesome mod to kill time :)

I'm curious about where the IR will be and how strong. I'm not an IR buff, I don't know much about IR at all. Are all IR emitters and receivers the same? Would it be possible to program it to control a TV for example?

Essentially what I'm asking is, given some fine programming plus your IR/tilt/more pack, could I turn my n810 into something like: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Harmo.../dp/B000II6YEA, or is there a hardware reason why the IR components you are talking about aren't capable of such a feat?

No, all IR transmitters and receivers are not the same.

Yes you would be able to control say a TV or audio system directly from the Tablet.

I am an IR expert and if the programming is done for the Tablet the IR will transmit as far as you would like it to, say 50 to 60 feet. I make some of the fastest transmitting and longest distance IR in the world. I also make IR transmitters that will even work in sun light.

The IR transmit and receive will be the easy part. It is mostly up to the community to make the control programs. The codes and learning of the IR is stored in the module. The IR portion is controlled with hex strings similar to sending and receiving to a serial com port.

Thanks

It will be small enough to fit inside the 3.5mm inner thickness of the metal case. I am not sure about the price yet.

Thanks

I guess, the Irreco app could be bent a bit to make the IR work...
