New ultrasound board dimensions?

[Doddy]

Any idea how big the new board is going to be, namely, will it fit in the ribbed extension sections?

[xwingband]

The dimensions I heard elsewhere were 1" wide x .75" high x 2" long

So... no. That's 1.25" diagonally. That is just the dimension to fit in a normal MHS section snuggly.

You are assuming its .75 tall across the whole width. If its only .75 high in a few spots then it might still fit inside a ribbed extension.

[xwingband]

True, true... if it's .75" in just the middle it could work. It looks to be the large capacitor on the side in the videos, but that's a proto...

Also of note though. Most people put the grips forward. I'd consider pushing the board as far back as you can so that the gesture detection is better.

I still wish we knew what the board's idle/off power draw was.

i asked ultra and he said that it would fit inside the ribbed MHS section :D

[Doddy]

So yay it will fit, doh, it means shifting the Rechargeable battery pack I was planning on having if I want optimal effects. (was trying to decide between 6 AA 2500mAH NiMH or 6 4/3 A 3500mAH which would take up most of a hilt section).
Thanks for the replies. Now to save up money. Argh.
