Made a "cradle" for Zire72

[Demens]

Just had this idea to use the usb-cable to make a cradle while i was enjoying of my morning coffee.
I was so pissed about the usb and power cables lying on my desk, this is much more cleaner way.

What do you think? I'll do something to the design when i get more material.

WTF is the unit standing on?
BTW, I like the design. How did you light it? LED's??
Sory, but I have the stragne feling that you will be bugged by me for quite some time now due to this design. I love electronics;-P..

Heh, thanks.

"WTF is the unit standing on?"
You mean how it holds magically on air without support?
- Zire is only holded up by usb-plugs head. I designed it to keep it up, but to also "give up" if it's pushed accidentally.

"How did you light it? LED's??"
- Yeah, i used a led light that i had no other use. Luckily, red suited it fine.

And yet again-I just want to know what this funky case is?
One more thing-what about using a duoled and have it change is color? Theoretically, you should be able to do this with a squarewave oscilator(555) and an OpAmp like the 324.
The 555 gives you a sawtooth wave, divide it up or invert it, and alas...

Not a bad cradle demens. Since they don't make any more accessories for the CLIE, i had to resort to legos for my cradle... check my signature out

Nice cradle! Wouldn't mind having one of those for my TJ37 :o What's the base made out of?
