00:10 <houkime> completed linear tranform of the separator metal edge

00:10 <houkime> drew projection on pcb

00:12 <houkime> we have around 1.6 mm spare

00:12 <houkime> which is great news

00:18 <houkime> Also I will look at connectors again tomorrow. If there are good connectors of 5.6 mm footprint (digikey doesn't have this as a parameter), we could achieve 1.6+0.8mm spare space, which is barely enough to place 2 rows of esd.

00:19 <houkime> end one row of esd we can have as a bonus because usb connector is low and allows to place esd above it.

00:32 <DocScrutinizer51> sorry you lost me a while ago

00:35 <DocScrutinizer51> no idea about 'accurately determine coorespondence between case and pcb coords'

00:37 <houkime> as a bonus I now know all case constraints cause I have a transform. Although y-wise it might have a bit of a shrinkage because it seems like case was a little bit 3d-rotated around x-axis when scanned.

00:37 <houkime> probably can calculate this also.

00:40 <DocScrutinizer51> if you need any dimensions, let me know end of months and I will grab my caliper and give you +-0.05mm precision values of ehatever you need

00:43 <houkime> not now, scans seem to be accurate enough if correctly processed.

00:44 <houkime> gonna sleep. Bye.

14:38 <houkime> ok, seems like it is possible to widen bob neck to 6.4 mm

14:39 <houkime> which is quite wonderful because it fits a connector with a courtyard

16:00 <houkime> btw do we even need a battery cover detector? It's not like we're going to shutdown because of user opening the case. Otherwise using hackerbus is sort of limited.

16:21 <houkime> also its vanilla spot is occupied by hackerbus.

16:23 <houkime> it probably will still sense sth even farther away but recalibration might be needed.

16:45 <houkime> footprints for flash leds seem to be a little bit broken.

19:33 <houkime> seems like the only sensible place for a privacy led is near flashes, however it will be then seen only with camera lid open

19:34 <houkime> and that' when original neo900 autostarts its camera

20:52 <enyc> houkime: not 100% shom buch this matter,s but i (htought) neo900's n900-compatibility was a 'thing' and so working old-maemo (which expects to unmount sd-card automatically when cover removed) important...?

21:16 <houkime> Didn't think about sd unmounting. hm-hm. However it is still a matter of fact that it's original spot is obligatory occupied by hackerbus and I'm not really sure what distance away from vanilla spot it will be able to work properly.

21:18 <houkime> cover detector is a hall detector, it senses magnetic field and pretty much only if lines are oriented in a particular way (direction-sensitive)

21:19 <houkime> I'm not really sure a field of what object it should have been sensing in vanilla.

21:24 <houkime> And how strong this field is (affects maximum distance where z-projection is sensible). Is there a magnet implanted in a back of case?

21:44 <houkime> trying to configure bob with connector in the neck. Sorts of work but also sorts of doesn't

21:44 <houkime> quite a hades

21:45 <houkime> esp.when trying to isolate protected tracks from unprotected, that's where it starts to fail

21:46 <houkime> also tented vias under connector is not the safest option in the world because it is only soldermask which prevents shorts in this scenario.

21:56 <houkime> will try both variants of connector positions, with neck or without and see what's best.

22:00 <houkime> with connector in the neck it has a bonus that usb chips on LOWER can be much closer to usb port that way

22:04 <houkime> it can also provide 6 hook signals and some neck signals right where they are needed.

22:21 <houkime> gonna sleep.
