Updated Wardrobe for Your Handheld Electronics Application
October 6th, 2011
With fall shortly approaching, I’ve been noticing the fall fashions at my favorite stores. Men’s, Misses, Junior’s, Kid’s: they’re all showcasing standard pieces such as khaki pants, sweater dresses, and cardigans. Trends may continue or come back year after year, but there is always an updated style to these pieces. Cargo shorts now have multiple pockets and loops, sweater dresses are miniskirts meant to be worn over leggings. There are always classic pieces that can still be worn even when new versions are rolled out.
Good Projects In New, Small Packages
June 14th, 2011With a brief break in the weather this past weekend, I decided to plant my garden. Step one is always to break up the dirt, matted down after months of heavy, cold snow. I take my shovel and kick up patches of ground until the entire garden has been overturned. The deep, dark black color of the soil tells me it’s rich with nutrients left behind by previous years’ vegetation. The interesting spin is that while my garden is about 9 feet long, my shovel is only 3 feet tall. At 5’2”, it actually gives me the best leverage, a taller shovel is just too cumbersome and throws off my balance.
Remember the old phrase “Good things come in small packages”? I think I proved that adage.
And so has Polycase. Our new handheld enclosure, the VK-62 checks in at a slim 5.74 x 1.82 x 1.31 inches. Available with a 2AA battery compartment, it is the perfect sized enclosure to fit your electronics while still offering enough power supply to run your product. With room for only 2 AA sized batteries, even the battery compartment adds to the handheld’s compact nature by maintaining the slender profile needed for in-hand applications.
Capturing Your PCB with Two Screw Towers
July 14th, 2010Recently I decided to get rid of the furniture in my basement. It was old and with two cats living down there, the furniture was completely covered in fur (two white cats on a blue couch = WHITE COUCH). Seriously gross. Having the patience of a flea, I decided I could move the chairs out by myself, instead of waiting for my boyfriend to drive the 20 minutes to my house. I NEARLY got the carpet out but once I dragged it up the stairs, I didn’t have the energy to turn it to then haul it out the door (I have the common stairs, landing with a door, stairs set up). Back to the chairs, I hefted the back of the chair onto the stair then leveled the front end up while stepping up to the next level. One step at a time, I inched my way up the stairs, balancing on just two legs of the chair. When I got to the landing, again I had to make the turn. I hefted the back left leg of the chair onto the landing, and held the right leg on the front end. The chair balanced like this on opposing legs until it was mostly out the door, and I just had to push the rest of the way from the landing. SUCCESS!
Non-Standard Battery Compartments for Hand-held Electronic Enclosures
January 4th, 2010Creating a piece of electronic equipment is more than just deciding what you want it to be able to do. You must select an enclosure to house your electronics, design the PC board to fit the available space within the enclosure, and determine the capabilities around the power source.
