labels and stickers
- on bottom acrylic: product label (no made in, no MAC)
- on bottom acrylic: 'MAC Address: xxx' - to be glued under product label, RC3 is 10-E2-D5-00-00-2F..00-00-7E - see IEEE_OUI_assignments
- on box: 'Made in Taiwan'
- 'Milkymist One' for power cable, 'CCD Camera' for camera power cable
- labels on m1 and camera power supply? - see below under power supply
- larger/new Milkymist sticker? ("video synthesizer") - not urgent, can do later
- "Milkymist" brand on silicone keyboard - requires MOQ of 300
- custom printing on remote control - requires MOQ of 1000
case
- we buy acrylic cases from www.raumfahrtagentur.org
power supply
Milkymist One requires a 5V DC +- 5% 2A power supply (A p/n:SCD441CPS011B00G DC power jack).
- rough requirements: US = UL, EU = CE/GS, UK = CE/BS, Japan = PSE, Australia = SAA
- Coaxial power connector (we use Adaptaplug M, 5.5 mm OD, 2.1 mm ID)
- Mains power around the world
- Switched-mode power supplies
- IEC 60320
- http://www.ch998.cn - only 12V supplies or also 5V? We shipped some to the US - do we need UL cert/label for US?
- http://honkwang.com/
IR remote control
- The current Infrared detection code in the Milkymist SoC only supports RC-5 remote controls that meet certain timing criteria.
- It is currently hardcoded to support the JAECS T003 remote control which is included with Milkymist One since RC3.
- The T003 control we are including does not have Milkymist-specific design, JAECS demands an MOQ of 1000 pieces for custom prints, at a price of about 60 NTD / remote control.
- vendors: JAECS/Taiwan, Jye Tai/Taiwan

cables
cable makers:
Shenzhen Choseal Industrial Co., Ltd.: http://www.choseal.cn
Shenzhen Millionwell Technology: http://www.jb01.cn/index_jb.html
- TV-out
- Software currently doesn't support it, but if it would the following VGA to TV-out adapters (S-Video and RCA) could make sense:
- http://www.amazon.com/CONVERTER-S-VIDEO-ADAPTER-graphic-function/dp/B000S675JU
- http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU
- Here's the pinout we would want http://pinouts.ru/VideoCables/matrox_tvout_pinout.shtml
- notice the DDC (12-15) loop, that's nice to auto-detect the cable, and not present in the ones Xiangfu bought (also see [1] and [2])
- MIDI to USB
- Practical usefulness and software side not clear now, but might be an idea (Werner [3])

video in
Milkymist One has a triple RCA jack analog video-in connector (SCPRE datasheet), connected to an Analog Devices ADV7181B video decoder (datasheet). The only officially supported and tested input mode is PAL composite over the green jack right now. Support for NTSC, SECAM, component video, or even multiple multiplexed signals may be possible but is currently unsupported.

Milkymist One camera comparison
- Current favorite: 1/3' ' Sony color CCD sensor, M12 lens mount for 'normal' lens (not pinhole), fixed zoom, weatherproof case, 12V
Landscape is same for every picture, results may vary depending on camera and type of lenses been tested. All pictures were taken from a LCD Screen using a canon A470 camera. Brightness in flickernoise was changed, this values was kept during all the test
TODO
- What is the quality difference between 420 TV lines and 520 TV lines 1/3' ' Sony CCD sensors?
- How important is infrared illumination?
- How about black & white sensors?
- How important is a (manual) zoom lense? Good to adjust to location?
OBK-3030CP4
- market price: 180 RMB = 27.40 USD
- manufacturer price: 130 RMB = 19.81 USD
- manufacturer: szoboke.com
- 1/4' ' color sharp ccd, 12v
- connector on metal case? 4-pin: video out (yellow), gnd, 12V (red), voice (white)
- M12 lense mount, pinhole lense
Colors are not natural
OBK-3130C
- market price: 210 RMB = 31.97 USD
- manufacturer price: 145 RMB = 22.09 USD
- 1/3' ' color sony ccd, 12v

Image quality is good and lag is not so high
sinsyn.com SS-208C
- market price: 85 RMB = 12.95 USD
- http://www.sinsyn.com/Products/SS208-p646.html
- documentation talks about "Programmable IC bus function: Color saturation, brightness and contrast ratio, self balance, exposure time and 2 times gain" - not sure how this can work
- M12 lense mount
- cable directly coming out of metal case (no connector)
Image is good but misses some resolution, camera not react quickly if you change light sources
xinzl.com XL-3012CP4
- market price 290 RMB = 44.15 USD
- M9 lense mount, hard to find lenses
M12 lenses bought separately, mounted on OBK-3130C

Center (Lense 2): 6 mm (?), 15 RMB |
Right (Lense 3): 8 mm (?), 15 RMB |
Pending label each lense with proper names and optical specs
flash memory card
- RTEMS supports only FAT16 right now, so any memory card is practically limited to 2 GB.
- The current RTEMS memory card driver is read-only and disabled in the standard firmware.
- A FAT-16 formatted and tested 2 GB memory card is included with every Milkymist One starting from RC3.
keyboard
Some keyboards don't work, such as ones with integrated USB hub (Apple keyboards), or some Chinese keyboards (GreenAsia).
| Keyboard | USB ID | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Hengmei
Chinese low-cost keyboard (45 RMB) |
ID 1c4f:0002 SiGma Micro | works |
| Yaoguangqishi | ID 1a2c:0002 | will sometimes issue multiple characters, or random characters (for example <l><return> when pressing only <return>), or spontaneous characters without any key being pressed |
| Apple Keyboard | ID 05ac:020b Apple, Inc. Pro Keyboard [Mitsumi, A1048/US layout]
ID 05ac:1003 Apple, Inc. Hub in Pro Keyboard [Mitsumi, A1048] |

- Liming http://www.szlmkj.com/index.asp http://www.szlmkj.com/ProductShow.asp?ArticleID=100

- rohs compliant
- the silicone is relatively prone to dust sticking on it, suggestion is to clean with a wet cloth
- Shuotai http://www.szstkj.com/en/ http://www.szstkj.com/en/products_show.asp?areaid=245&id=777&flag=0
