New Clockwork device: The DevTerm

Though the DevTerm shape and screen is really not the best for emulation, but yeah the CPU core is beefier than on the GameShell CPi

And we clearly can expect a new mainboard for the gameshell at some point. Probably not soon though, the board for the DevTerm will not fit.

(also I haven’t seen anything than mockup up so far, even the PCB they show are 3D render)

So, clearly no DevTerm for Christmas (as I’ve seen it asked here or on Discord, can’t remember), and even if I fully trust ClockworkPi, be prepared that the April deadline may not be met and the product delivered a bit later.

Haha! I found that actually funny :grin:
If it was for mocking the weight, was the tape necessary?

Of course, you have to glue the screen together!

Will DevTerm shipping in China?

Wow, @javelinface, it was really nice of you to make a mock-up. Also, I was talking about the one on the website, it says NEW.

I have no idea what website you’re referring to. I’m assuming the official clockwork pi site? You’re probably the only one who has seen it. Everyone else has only seen mock-ups/renders.

Ha glad you’ve got a good sense of humour. Was the tape necessary? Definitely not! But hey, it’s the closest I’ve gotten to physically holding a DevTerm, and confirming it won’t fit in my biggest jorts. (Jeans Shorts ;))

The temptation to glue two shells was there. But just for a joke, maaaybe not.

Wow I can’t imagine someone gluing two gameshells together.

if emulation is what you are going for, then i gotta get my hands on the new board and start my ClockBox project back up

Umm, whats the ClockBox project? So about that NEW board, this is the link. https://www.clockworkpi.com/gameshell. If you scroll down, you’ll see a board that says NEW and UPGRADED.

Wow, they look so cool! They look like gameshells. Exellent work @Metonym. :clap:

pretty much everything here is just like a gameshell, like how the DevTerm is just a wide gameshell

Hmm, yeah you’re right. The colors and the special “screws” basicly define gameshell.

Seriously, what are you seeing that we aren’t? I don’t see any reference to a clock box project. Are you somehow seeing internal data of future projects?

The “newer” CPI 3.1 board was new over a year ago. If doubled the RAM and introduced an HDMI out.

ClockBox is the name i gave for the Clockwork Console concept

That’s a good point, @yong probably better to remove the “New” on that page, as it’s not really new anymore now :wink:

This is the ClockBox project @javelinface.

Oh right, I was scrolling the link of the main clockwork page finding the reference. I thought it was another new project.

@Metonym - given how the base of the devterm basically looks like a project board, complete with brass offset screws, rebooting the clockbox and using this as the “base” could be doable, mounting a large cube on in place of the standard faceplate. It would probability limit you to a 10” screen, but I can’t imagine using anything larger.

yeah, that sounds like a good idea, i was originally planning on using a 8" screen, but 10" would be a good upgrade

I do like them big screens.
