Sv: Think med på CHAdeMO?

[BauDemo]

I got 2 photos showing a very simple, but effective cable holding contraption for the palm handheld. Have not tried it myself, but you can see it here:

I would prefer this device that we have 3D drawings off and can produce on demand.

I ordered this from Martin when it first appeared and I'm still waiting for it and a price estimate.

This looks very nice! How much does it cost?
I don't understand the need for a sunscreen though - palm m500, m505 and m515, all have transflexive screens that have excellent visibility in bright sun light. Have you had problems with visibility?
A version without the sunscreen would be more attractive for me.

We have reflections BIG time. Personally I was surpriced you say excelent visibility, as this is not my impression. Rather contrary.

Price depends on how many we can  order in one go. But it will be above 500 NOK

Sunscreen part can easily be chopped.

Hmm.. I guess it depends on what you compare it with. I have compared it to couple of mobile phones, and an iphone. Put them all on a table in the sun and try to make what you see on the screen.
Have you tried similar comparison with robometer?

[elektrolux]

Robometer has a screen thats undependent on sunlight ore dark. You may have seen similar screens on Becker Radios.

I saw the type of screen robometer has on one of the car adds you have on finn.no. The palms m505 and m515 have so called transflexive screens that are made to be visible in very stong day light. And at the same time work very well in dark. The colors may look a bit different but the contrast should not be affected.
I am trying to figure out what "BIG time" reflection problems are for you.
What have you compared with?
Do you have any reflection problems with robometer, and if yes, how did you solve them?

[elektrolux]

Problems are that sunlight will shine on the screen, making the figures on screen invisable, unless palm is held in an alternative angle. Just like any computor ore TV.

This is not easy as it means turning the whole car into a different direction.

Robometer have tryed different screens and ended up with the one currently beeing used before it was put on the marked. I do not know how it works, but in sunlight it is more like looking at a piece of written paper, while in the dark, the backlight will make easy reading. First time I saw it it was on a Becker radio and it was truely amasing.

At that price it's out of the question for me. I'll rather have two Nikometers, one for the Th!nk Classic and one for the G15EV, installed permanently in the dashboard.

Compared to any other display I've seen (not the Becker car radio, though) the Palm unit is easier to read.

Jeg kjører nå fornøyd rundt med Nikometer montert i Claes Ohlson holdearm av den lange typen. 
De gangene sola treffer skjermen er lesbarheten utrolig god. Derfor er det absolutt ikke behov for solskjerm, sollys på skjermen er noe en ønsker seg. De gangene det er litt vanskelig er hvis skjermen og interiøret kommer i skygge og det er svært lyst ute, for eksempel sol imot. (Da er det heller ikke lett å se de andre instrumentene). Dette problemet blir klart mindre hvis en har bakgrunnsbelysningen i Palmen på. Jeg har nå strømtilførsel permanent tilkoblet, og lar derfor lyset være på hele tiden.

Nikometeret er utrolig nyttig, og bør være på plass i alle Thinker av gamletypen. Likevel er det ikke noe egentlig batteriovervåkingsinstrument, en ujevn pakke vil ikke bli avlest riktig, man oppdager ikke om en blokk begynner å slite. Men også Robometer har sine klare svakheter. Mulighet for individuell overvåking av blokkene er det beste.
