Brick update (or what passes for one around here ;-)

[Glenn Alexander]

Well, my little hardware project is creeping along evere-so-slowly. 
I'm at the stage of setting up my CAD system with some of the chips I 
have decided to use. All those fiddly little ADCs and stuff for 
battery monitoring and things. The digital I/O bits will likely be 
easier - I'll use a FPGA. I've pretty much settled on an ARM-based 
CPU. 
 
I am also considering getting an off-the-shelf PocketPC and refitting 
it with a propper-sized LCD (ie 256 pixels wide - I'm finnicky about 
this point, I do have reasons, though whether they are good ones is 
debatable ;-). Not every feature I want (and several I don't need), 
but close enough for a prototype, maybe. 
 
I made some changes to my brick page: 
http://www.shoalhaven.net.au/~glenalec/brick/ 
:mainly reflecting my decision to support an even smaller screen than 
512x384 (as low as 256x256 now). 
 
Down near the bottom of the page are some ideas on the UI I would like 
to see (with mock-ups of screen shots). Anyone here who wants to 
comment is welcome. I don't know if my UI ideas are good or not. I'm 
always open to suggestions. 
 
Regards, Glenn 
(Looking forward to the 0.1 binary release - great work)
