Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I found some time to play after the holidays. I found a gooseneck desk lamp with a nice weighted bottom and it hit me that it looked like that saucer from War of the Worlds. I printed up a nice small box and epoxied it to the lamp neck. Ran the usb wire inside the gooseneck. The usb keyboard connects on the left side. It has the newest firmware on the F4 board. I sealed the sd card inside but can load using the usb cable. I can adjust to any viewing angle. (ignore the messy bench behind the F4).

"And still they come...". :)

Are you sure it's safe to sit in front of that?

I bought a 7 inch vga and it's nice. sold as dashcam reversing monitor £24 but got hdmi and composite... which I found a video sender and receiver and always wanted to wire a camera to a small monitor.. with no wiring.
my keyboard, not connected, looks like yours, big.

I bought one like that and used on my CMM. They do look good.
