Did you see this version? It's reusing the buttons and rotary encoder and uses the existing USB board and battery. https://github.com/wr/macintosh-mini

Having used @JCM-1 for distributing my much less ambitious hardware devices that are similarly much cheaper (percent wise) to make in bulk, I highly recommend partnering with him. He seems to have the logistics of selling and shipping things worked out much better than I would! Also, it might...

My app does have templates for helping, but it's computer / accessory model numbers, and I don't have individual parts. Right now the templates are built into the app, so each deployment have their own, and the owners can add new templates. But I am considering making a common repository of the...

Threw together a little promo video for the system. I also did a bit of a redesign on the UI to make it more inline with the showcase app, which I felt has a more cohesive design:

I'd stick with the iPad 1 or 2 screen if you want to go closer to 10". They're cheap, readily available with controllers, and most importantly, they're 4:3 aspect ration. The 10" screen you linked would look cool, but in use you're either going to be left with an image that's stretched too...

Looks great! Any clearance issue with the knobs used to tighten it down? I actually had some conversations with someone about a larger version that could fit a 10” iPad display and control board. I think it would more closely match the width of the IIc. I’ll have to go back through the...

Ha. Yeah, I’ve got a lot of machines, so a compact ADB keyboard that saves some desk space it valuable!

Yeah, I tried to automate as much as possible, and am still trying to figure out how to directly print from the app. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, there’s no way for me to print directly to my Brother label printer - I’ve got to use the P-Touch app. So I allow for the generated asset...

I added CSV exports, so it should offer that now. As for the status line, I'd highly recommend simply printing the QR code asset tag and sticking it on / throwing it into the device. Then as the status is updated, you don't need to re-print. If you need to know a devices status, scan the QR...

Looks like this link isn't working anymore. I'd love to try to make one for my PB 165. Any chance you could re-post it? or just post the STL here?

Ha. I tried to make it as easy as possible in the instructions, but I definitely understand the requirements of deploying multiple containers that need to talk to each other may be a showstopper for some. Unfortunately, I felt it gave users the best control over what they want deployed...

That’s a good idea. I have the ability to print a full report (I keep a pdf backup of the full report for insurance purposes - if my house burnt down, it would take my NAS with it so this is good to keep off site) but that has everything included- all your notes, maintenance log, pictures...

Awesome. Let me know if you see anything wrong. Also, I have some stuff that I decided that may not be clear to others (a specific example is the thumbnail system - I have the option for light mode and dark mode thumbnails because my OCD hated having a bunch of white background images of...

Added it. Something didn't go properly with that post as I lost many of the regular app images. Will try to edit

I've been collecting vintage Apple hardware for a few years now and kept running into the same problem: nothing out there really fits how collectors actually think about their stuff. Spreadsheets are clunky, generic inventory apps don't seem to capture the types of things I care about in my...
