Greetings!
Welcome to the "HBMobile Wiki." This is the main wiki site where members of the [http://hbmobile.org/ Homebrew Mobile Phone Club] share information about plans, projects, meetings and musings. There's no fee to participate, and except for spammers and defacers, we welcome most any input. Much of our content is technical, but you don't have to be an über-engineer to participate; part of what we're all about is enabling people to build mobile devices that meet their special needs. So if you have a special need that you've not heard anyone talk about, pipe up and let us know. To experiment with this wiki try [[Sandbox]]. See the [http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User's_Guide User's Guide] for usage and configuration help.
Undoubtedly, you will reach big success with your site.

==Embedded Controllers==

; [http://www.gumstix.com/ GumStix, Inc.] : GumStix manufactures and sells small ARM based embedded systems for experimenters, hobbyists and companies building small-run systems. Several price-performance points are supported (meaning they have cheaper, slower modules and faster, more expensive modules.) Support for sound, networking, etc. is provided by daughter-boards. GumStix are used by a number of projects and are part of the initial TuxPhone hardware reference design.<br/><br/>Developers should note, however, that typical GumStix systems do not ship with LCDs. GumStix CTO Chris Hughes explains that the company received radically different LCD requirements from their customers, and they could never find a "one size fits all" solution. However, all the control lines for supporting modern LCDs are provided by the system's standard Hirose connector and the [http://docwiki.gumstix.org/Lcd LCD page] on [http://www.gumstix.org/ GumStix.Org] lists the steps to connect typical LCDs to the device. <br/><br/>Also note that GumStix has publicly announced they're working on a GSM gumstix peripheral based on the [https://pia.khe.siemens.com/index14287.htm Siemens MC75] module. So fairly soon you should be able to build your own mobile wireless communication device with EDGE support. w00t!

My first order with them was filled promptly and everything arrived in reasonable time. My second order was less exciting, 36 hours after having my credit card charged, I got an email saying, "sorry, we really don't have that part in stock." I received a refund, but it was a might annoying to have to find another supplier.

Amongst many other tools they have a 3D printer which can be used after taking a short training class, and which can print just about any shape using ABS plastic. SVHMPC has held several of its monthly meetings at Techshop. Their printer only accepts CAD designs in STL format.

; [http://sketchup.google.com Google SketchUp] : Sketchup is a very easy to use way to generate and edit 3D shapes. It supports Windows and MacOSX, and is free for a basic version, which can import DXF format. The Pro version is needed to generate DXF, and it costs $495, with an 8 hours of use free trial. Most of the examples are architectural shapes, its less well suited to making a rounded phone case. There are excellent video tutorial guides.  Sketchup also has great scriptability via Ruby, with extensive built-in online help.
 
; [http://www.alibre.com Alibre] : Alibre is a full function 3D parametric CAD package with a similar interface to Sketchup, but more oriented to creating a set of parts and assembling them. It only runs on Windows. Alibre Express is free, with  restrictions on functionality and a limit of ten parts in an assembly. The unrestricted professional versions start at $995. The video tutorial guides are excellent. DXF manipulation is clumsy and it has hung up and caused a BSOD a couple of times. It does seem to be the easiest way to design parts for free, and parametric CAD lets the design parameters scale and adjust the shape easily.
 
; [http://www.opencascade.org OpenCascade] : OpenCascade is an open source product mainly aimed at developers. It runs on Linux, Windows and Solaris, no official MacOSX support, but you can hack it to work by using [http://keepcool.kf.tu-berlin.de/public/mitarbeiter/sadowski_projects.html this]. It is scriptable, and Gumstix use it to generate their DXF files.
 
; [http://brlcad.org BRL-CAD] : BRL-CAD is an open source Constructive Solid Geometry product based on over 20 years of work from the US Army Research Lab. It's free, and supports Windows, Linux, MacOSX and just about anything else. It's mainly aimed at modelling for analysis and raytracing, rather than manufacturing. It supports scripting, you can choose to use a graphical editor, or a command-line interface (or both). It has import/export command line utilities for many formats including STL.

The hosting for hbmobile.org (the webserver) & revejo.org (the mailing list) hit a snarl. Adrian's started a hbmobile mailing list at Google Groups, & James opened a mirror of wiki.hbmobile.org. Pass along the new sites!

The most recent meeting was at 6:30PM on March 12th, 2008 at The Computer History Museum. Mark Wood talked about the Cell Broadcast System, & we showed off the latest myPhone. Audio & video of Mark Wood's presentation has been posted.
