| ReformAllTheWay | do we have any news on the pocket reform? price? eta? | 10:34 |
| minute | ReformAllTheWay: i think we will launch at 19:00 CEST | 10:37 |

| minute | ReformAllTheWay: starts at $899, free shipping | 10:56 |
| ReformAllTheWay | that will be 899euro from your shop later is this price with german vat included? | 11:02 |
| ReformAllTheWay | i'd prefer waiting a bit and the whole amount going to you instead of getting a cut through a middleman | 11:06 |

| minute | ReformAllTheWay: that's cool, i hope that not everyone will do this though—because we still need the campaign to succeed | 11:33 |

| mjw | minute, what is the advantage to using crowdsupply? With the mnt reform it went pretty smoothly for me, got it pretty quickly directly from Germany to the Netherlands, but I heard others weren't so lucky and had to wait for you to sent stuff to the US first before it got back to them in Europe (but maybe I misunderstood how it really worked). | 11:42 |

| minute | mjw: the advantage for who? | 11:46 |
| mjw | minute, for you | 11:46 |
| minute | mjw: we don't have the reach of crowd supply, and they match the crowdfunding sales with their own purchase on top | 11:47 |
| mjw | minute, just curious. I had a good experience. But since I heard others were less pleased having to go through a US store I was wondering why you don't just handle everything through your own. | 11:47 |
| minute | they are also a distributor, not only a crowdfunding platform | 11:48 |
| minute | if we manage to sell 200 devices through the crowdfunding, they will buy 200 on top | 11:48 |
| minute | (roughly speaking) | 11:49 |
| minute | this will also make components a bit cheaper for us | 11:49 |
| minute | (all these numbers are still very low for electronics manufacturing, but for us, a tiny company, they make a big difference) | 11:49 |
| mjw | ah, and then resell them, so you are guaranteed some sales with them worrying if they can actually sell them all. | 11:49 |
| minute | correct | 11:50 |
| minute | also, they shield us from the risk of people cancelling and whatnot | 11:50 |
| minute | this time it should go much more smoothly also, as we are already set up and cleared with mouser, who do the distribution | 11:51 |
| mjw | right, you are a bit like the local restaurant in my street. I always worry about them predicting correctly how many people will come in and what they'll order. It must be so stressful. | 11:52 |

| ReformAllTheWay | what is the ETA for the crowdfunded Pockets? When are they supposed to start shipping ? | 12:12 |
| minute | ReformAllTheWay: first, the campaign has to succeed :3 i think it will run for a month | 12:27 |
| minute | and then 24wks till shipping, because that's the lead time of the imx8mplus modules | 12:28 |

| josch | ACTION has also been waiting for the pyra since 2016 | 15:01 |
| josch | if i would want another device of that form factor today it would be the pocket reform | 15:02 |
| josch | the pyra is just one of many portable linux projects i've backed with money that didn't end up delivering | 15:03 |
| minute | what's the current holdup for the pyra? | 15:07 |
| ReformAllTheWay | I guess lack of working time and delays in the new cases being coated. My understanding was that the first batch of ~boards have been ready but the new cases/coating is delayed | 15:08 |
| scops | good question... man power in assembly ? haven't checked the forums for a while | 15:08 |

| minute | thanks for backing!!!!! | 19:41 |
| Boostisbetter | minute: I would really like the cellular modem as well. Was the plan not bundle that or make it an option in the crowd funding. | 19:41 |
| minute | Boostisbetter: it is an option, but not for EU. because mouser doesn't have the EU version of that modem. | 19:41 |
| Boostisbetter | As in we should source that ourselves? | 19:41 |
| minute | Boostisbetter: i think we mention it in the text | 19:41 |
| Boostisbetter | Could I force the US modem? | 19:41 |
| minute | Boostisbetter: i think only if you ship to a US address. | 19:42 |
| Boostisbetter | It would still work here. Just not all channels. | 19:42 |
| Boostisbetter | I can do that but not on the same order. | 19:42 |

| Boostisbetter | OK then I will wait. | 19:42 |

| JC[m] | josch: IMO it's well deserved because you do a ton of work for the platform | 21:22 |

| mtm | is the basic logic of the keyboard controller to send traffic to the main USB port unless the Circle key is pressed. In that case only send it on the System controller USB port? Wondering how the decision is made to revert back to the main USB port. Is that at the command of the System controller or perhaps a state machine in the keyboard firmware? | 21:58 |
| minute | mtm: almost. the system controller is connected to the keyboard via UART. so there are two paths, USB to the SOC and UART to the system controller | 22:00 |
| minute | it's the same principle as in MNT Reform. | 22:00 |
| mtm | ah, I see. But only one port is actively sending keyboard data at a time, yes? | 22:01 |
| minute | mtm: correct. | 22:02 |
| minute | circle key enters "meta mode" | 22:02 |
| minute | in this mode, you interact with the keyboard internal menu/shortcuts and no keypresses are sent via USB until you exit this mode. | 22:02 |
| mtm | is the escape from meta mode handled by the firmware or is it toggled off by the system controller? | 22:03 |
| minute | keyboard firmware. | 22:04 |
| mtm | for example Circle-B immediately exits meta mode whereas Circle-F1 does not | 22:04 |
| mtm | okay, thanks | 22:04 |
| minute | mtm: yes, this is decided by each meta function. | 22:05 |

| violet | i also want an atreus style split for it, if i can get myself to actually put in the effort to do the pcb routing | 22:11 |
| violet | laying out the switches for an angled split sucks cause you want to mirror the left and right sides but there's no way to mirror components in kicad without also mirroring the pin placement because you literally never do this except for when making weird keyboards | 22:12 |
| mtm | hah, same! I remember Technomancy having a bit of Scheme code to do the keyboard layout, presumably in Kicad? Might be worth exploring | 22:13 |
| violet | yeah i was just thinking that i might copy that strategy | 22:13 |
| violet | because i remember that from when i was looking at the atreus source | 22:13 |
| violet | basically the scheme codes just generates the pcb | 22:13 |
| violet | because the pcb file is plain text and basically just S-expressions anyway iirc (its been awhile) | 22:14 |
| violet | then just open the pcb up in kicad and do all your exports for the manufacturer from there | 22:14 |
| mtm | I think the main blocker for me is dealing with surface mount stuff | 22:14 |

| + murdock (~murdock@dhcp-68-142-57-54.greenmountainaccess.net) | 22:15 | |
| violet | yeah i have the advantage of knowing someone else who knows how to do surface mount so i will probably go asking them for help if i get to that point | 22:15 |
| mtm | I should probably educate myself on the state of hobby level wave soldering and such (if thats even a thing) | 22:17 |
| violet | the switches themselves are through-hole i think | 22:17 |
| mtm | right | 22:17 |
| violet | and you can omit the LEDs to save some work there | 22:17 |
| mtm | mostly thinking of the CPU bit | 22:17 |
| violet | yeah | 22:17 |
| violet | if you do a split though you can get away with using a larger easier to solder microcontroller if you're willing to do a different firmware | 22:18 |
| violet | like you could pretty reasonably get a larger atmega32u4. still surface mount, but you can get it in a size thats a lot easier to solder | 22:18 |
| mtm | :) (that's why I was asking the questions about how the Circle key was working) | 22:19 |
| violet | might also be able to just slap a pi zero board onto it TBQH, they designed the pi zero board to be easy to solder on as a pcb module if i remember right | 22:19 |
| violet | which has the rp2040 chip so you dont need to do a full firmware port | 22:20 |
| violet | er is it pi zero? | 22:20 |
| violet | its pi something | 22:20 |
| violet | pi pico sorry sorry | 22:20 |
| mtm | one idea I had was to use some microcontroller daughterboard and just have a dumb scanning matrix keyboard that it would connect to through a simple bus. Then I could just play with different simple layouts and just plug in the microcontroller. A few quick scanning matrix edits and done | 22:22 |
| mtm | I need poke aroud in my Reform again and see what sort of space I have to work with | 22:23 |

| brennen | i'm kind of curious if the existing pockets on my cargo pants will work | 23:10 |
| brennen | it feels juuuuust possible | 23:10 |
| brennen | but i have not measured. | 23:10 |
| violet | i wonder if there is any movement towards supporting the NPU in the iMX8MP in mainline linux (or if its already there) | 23:10 |
| violet | my guess being no because there hasnt really been movement towards an NPU framework for the kernel in general until recently but, there is a lot of workloads you could accelerate with an NPU | 23:11 |
| minute | violet: the npu is supported | 23:13 |
| minute | due to recent work by collabora | 23:13 |
| minute | in etnaviv | 23:13 |
| violet | yooooooo | 23:13 |
| minute | (openCL). i haven't tested it myself yet, but will | 23:13 |
| violet | that's super exciting, i want to try to offload software-defined radio maths to it | 23:13 |
