NEOCA LEON / Code Posted!!

After I finish with the NEOCA BL and the NEOCA WOOD projects I'll start this new one.


Why NEOCA LEON?

León Untroib was my grandfather, he was a great artist. This is my humble tribute to him

Also, Leon is somewhat pronounced like Li-Ion, so you start getting the idea.


NEOCA LEON is an open source PIC microcontrolled flashlight.


What does this mean?

it means:

1 - user can use the flashlight with the included firmware

2 - user can remove the PIC microcontroller and load new firmware into it.

3 - since the circuit will be known, and the source code will be available, users with knowledge can modify the way it works.

4 - advanced users may create software and give/sell the pre-programmed chips (example: NEOCA LEON emulating an ARC4, LH, HDS, etc)

5 - I will provide a low cost PIC programmer for all the interested people.


NEOCA LEON will use rechargeable batteries, my first intention is to use Pila batteries, but different bodies may also be available in the future.


And the best part, I'll try my best to keep the price as close to $100 as possible, including HA3 process, T-bin lux3 and S020XA reflector.


Comments are welcome.


Thanks for looking


Pablo

Always wanted to be #3!!

Re: NEOCA LEON (my next project)

At that price range there is a good possibility for me to be in on this.

Re: NEOCA LEON (my next project)

Hmm... I don't exactly need another flashlight, but open source firmware is definitely a neat idea. I doubt it'll be written in Java, C#, or C /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif (the three languages I'm most familiar with)... still, I'm interested. If you start a pre-order list soon, please consider me to be on it...

Pablo, at the rate of new light release I need to get a third job to support this addiction.

I'll take #32 as usual.

Now again I need a list maintainer volunteer /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

as I done with my previous projects, you will see in this thread the complete development of this flashlight.

Thanks for the interest.

Re: NEOCA LEON (my next project)

That's very interesting! I'm in.

 

[pokkuhlag]

Re: NEOCA LEON (my next project)

Depending on the final details (looks, convertor specs and dimensions) Reserve me a number 22 please. 100$ looks to good of a deal to pass.
