Here are two quick shots of the gui I am developing for the TGS. Pressing left or right moves between them though no sub menu's yet. The Tome Media Player might use this interface.
Looks awesome so far! I can't wait until you start selling kits for these... hoping to port some simple games or at least write some utilities for this.
how much are you looking to sell this for - i asked in another comment - im really eager to buy one to test it out -i really hope you can do it for a good price - i live in new york USA - how much you think for the device and shipping together??? also would you be able to get me a programmer for it - i just want to write some code and just have fun - it looks really neat and i love that its tiny.
I hope to get the price around $100. That would include a complete game system with battery, usb cable, parallel port jtag programmer, sd card(1gb), memory card reader, usb Charger(ac) and earbud headphones.
@dennis Sounds great, I absolutely would pay $100 for a developer kit type of package. Though I could do without some of those things... the sd card, reader, and earbuds I already have. I could also do without the USB cable and charger as long as it's just a regular USB or mini USB cable.
Hello, I wanted to ask if you can make me something like the handheld game system you have. but with some modifications. Like i need the lcd to be in a different pcb - i want it to be a clam shell design. so the screen going in the top, and then in the bottom it has the arrow keys on the left and 6 buttons on he right - arrange the buttons so they look nice if possable. I dont need the wireless module you have, but i need 2 mini usb ports on it. i need this as small as you can do it. i will pay you for this, just tell me about how much exactly. and i just need the screen to say "hello world" on start up - just so i can learn from the sorce code. i also need a programmer for it - i have a memory card already and the reader/writer for it -so just needed the stuff i listed - i really hope you can do this for me. let me know please i will check back often
I just started work on my quadruped robot. I had decided to make a device specifically for robotics rather than using the TGS. What you want is similar but there are a few differences. It uses the clamshell format it has 4 buttons, L/R shoulder buttons and two displays(both on top). I can post a pic of the 3d model if interested. I am still finalizing the design. I had planned to release the robot and controller as a kit but if you are interested in buying a prototype I can probably finish the controller design first and build you one. Though since I will be building everything from scratch and in single quantity it will cost somewhere around $200. Slightly cheaper if you want to build your own case and leave off one lcd(s65 or 6610) and the wireless chip since you don't need it. Since the TGS is being redesigned I had considered just adding extra features to it rather than completing a new design and cheaper since its not clamshell.
My name is Dennis Collier. I'm 27 and have been programming since I was 13. I've always been interested in computers and electronics and constantly took things apart. I am a apathetic loner with a lust for world domination. With an army of robots I shall take over the world. I will rule you all with an iron fist and you shall call me your king. I also enjoy drawing, 3D modelling and animation.
The Tome Game System is a homemade 32Bit handheld game system. It is designed to be simple yet it will be able to produce games similar to Game Boy Advance. It has an accelerometer for motion control and built in Bluetooth module for wireless communication. The system is currently based on the PIC32MX679 microcontroller.
cpu: PIC32MX679 speed: 80mhz (can be overclocked) ram: 128k internal, 128k serial sram flash: 512k storage: 4MB flash internal, mini sd card display: 1.8" spi lcd, 160x120, 18bit color
The Tome Media Player is a music player capable of playing midi, avi, mp3, ac3 formats and more. It has USB, microsd, three-way toggle and a button for menu navigation. The system is based on the at91sam7s256 microcontroller.
