To show our appreciation we are shipping a free FEZ Cobra sample to the most active member on this forum. It turned out to be Chris…so congratulation Chris :d He has also been very helpful to other users so we thank you very much.
Matt is also the winner of “find the image” contest so he is also getting one. Not to forget that Matt has also been very helpful around the forum.
Chris and Matt, please contact us directly for instructions. These will ship out today
Also, do not post any public info on FEZ cobra or images or anything just yet. If you have any questions then email us directly. Very soon, we will have FEZ Cobra board on this forum and then we can all talk about it.
If you didn’t win then you should get your project in the contest soon and you will get your own FEZ Cobra too. (link removed)
We also want to thank our other active members like Tony, Brett, Tony2 and others…keep up the good work.
Is the FEZ Cobra having an LCD and some sort of user interface like joystick or buttons at least? I believe it was stated in other posts but wanted reassurance this was the case.
I think it was hinted somewhere that it would have an LCD as well as Ethernet and more RAM. Even I have no idea what it is yet. Either way, my lips are sealed until later
Good guess but not entirely correct. FEZ Domino has an advantage of having same pinout as Arduino so you can use many of the available shields. On the bad side, the board is too small with under 30 IOs. It was very difficult to try to fit everything (SD connector, USB host, regulators…) The board is basically full.
FEZ Cobra is not designed “the arduino way”, it is designed “the GHI way” … cleaner design, more IO, more features, a lot more features
Yes I have the board. I have been playing with it since yesterday and I LOVE it. ’
I don’t know how much I can say about the board, so I’ll have to let that question pass. Sorry ;). You will probably know soon, if Chimp doesn’t tell you.
All I can say is that you guys are going to have some neat demos from me when the Cobra does come out.
We will have details very soon…hopefully next week if we are done testing.
About display, yes it has a display…actually multiple displays!! And not a “toy” display like you see hobbyists use…we are talking professional display you see in real products!..oh wait, did I say touch screen…I shouldn’t have said that!
Just wait another week or two and we will have full details
You are too good at this. Every time GHI comes up with a new product - the pre launch drives all the followers insane - I have seen this pre EM TFT, pre ChipworkX, pre FEZ and now Cobra.
