Haha, I was pretty close to starting on that. Fortunately I figured out ways to optimize without leaving the micropython platform. I’m really glad. Rewriting to C would take me weeks at the very least and then C vs micropython is like a shovel vs a digger.
The next batch of DAVEGA X enclosures is being made here in Brno, Czech Republic. Today, the CNC company allowed me to come see how the machining is done. It’s pretty cool. I have some vids as well that I’ll post later. A little bit of editing is needed.
I’m looking for someone to test the new glass screen protector. This is actual glass. So far DAVEGAs have been shipped with acrylic screen protectors. Acrylic is more durable than glass but it’s also very prone to scratching. When I pre-assemble DAVEGAs, if for whatever reason the screen protector requires cleaning, I just toss it in the bin directly since it’s impossible to clean it while keeping the pristine condition. Even microfiber cloth leaves (small) scratches.
The glass is much better in this respect and I believe it will retain pristine look for pretty long. On the other hand, it may crack more easily. I’d like to test how much it will endure. Basically I’m looking for someone who will manage to break it while riding. I’ve been using mine for a few dozen kilometers and it’s been holding up well so far. I don’t ride too hard though and I never jump.
Sounds good, untill now my screen is still fairly nice. I tried to refrain from wiping the screen when I can and blow it clean with air, so atm it still looks decent. I would be open to try out a new screen, although I dont ride as much recently, since the weather is rubbish so if you want more hardcore testing fast maybe another person would be more suited? Anyway it would motivate me to ride more plus shipping would be fast to The Netherlands I suppose. What glue do you use to glue the glass onto the case btw?
I use double sided rubber tape. It makes the installation easy and clean. It also seals really well. It’s just a bit annoying to remove when you need to replace the protector. It’s not too bad though. I will include some in everyone’s testing package.
I will also make a vid with a few tips on how to apply the tape. It’s pretty straightforward but there are a few things you may not realize when using it for the first time.
