Reviews the entire remote control projects from scratch, from design to mold, from internal communications to external cooperation partners have devoted considerable efforts. Out of this step, also encountered more difficulties than you think.
Writer Li Jialun students major in charge of a team of external cooperation, part half a hardware engineer (his mouth), as well as remote project manager.

At this moment, when I write to share this blog, master mold factory should still be in bed, last night in Dongguan, tossing all night, Oh, work at eight in the morning to see the Sun. As planned on the due date of the second trial on Thursday, a surface shrinkage issues over three days and tried a variety of approaches are not resolved, master mold to Dongguan to find experts, called 11 o'clock and said waiting to get past midnight, I am deeply sorry, toss the die toss about, to accompany laughed hard, come back for dinner.
Hardware: "may seem simple, but hard to do"
In September we launched the first hardware product development, before we were afraid to touch the hardware software-only company, leave intelligent large-screen operating system development, revolutionary tradition of big-screen interactive mode (this sounds like old Wang said). Well, since it is a revolution, wooden tool is stream of consciousness alone does not work, remote start is naïve to think that we find a few reliable suppliers say demand, can make things, since embarking on a journey of hardware of software companies.
First of all is to find reliable partners, see Huang Mingjie teacher's hardware business how to choose suppliers and foundries, but Teacher WONG in when wood drove the lecture, we and our suppliers began to work together. From design to tooling to production, from design to mold factory remote production plants, coupled with the PCB program, five-way tie is a maddening process of dying. If God can give me another chance, I would like to say that TM only to find a remote control interface. So gave a friend a hint in addition to ID,MD with a Teacher WONG, molding together as far as possible, the less a one vendor as little as possible, as far as possible all together, only one.
"Tying" find object
Back to our cooperation with the design company, after starting after the survey, the industry's top (sz) wave jialantu talk about it again, also includes friends recommend some good design company. Finding these companies may not be suitable for such start-up small businesses because:
First, these internal process complex, inflexible and not conducive to the rapid improvement of our products.
Second, the company's design is a priority: a top General Designer of the company, perhaps an ordinary company's top designers, and we may not be able to meet the top the top designers of the company.
Third, when these big companies busy, instead of an ordinary company can better ensure human input.
Laowang our product managers and designers who want a what kind of product is already aware of, just to the design company to achieve it. After much consideration, we picked out a friend recommended design companies, have seen their products, it is OK. Lao Wang design company made and designer Nancy in a week, evening exchange needs, communicate ideas, to make a model. Well, I don't understand design, clay made a super saiyaren be back after work.
But then the design company is out of the question, because MD's abilities, to mold development after a lot of trouble. Painful lesson tells us: to investigate a design firm, ID and MD ability to balance study, one aspect of the shortage will cause tremendous pain in the back.
Mold factory of select is a weigh price of process, inside of road yellow teacher has told of is understand, on no longer repeat has, for we for: first, price in is big degree Shang decided mold precision; addition two points, a is see people, some details often will exposed this people of work style, like whether punctuality, like talk of logic, like painting out of drawings; another is see can he to you how many input, if project many, row period and tight, once and we venture of small project hit, Coordination would be a very nerve-racking thing.
"Requirements changes, an honest document, people, sign"
On the back to each part, and also eat a lot of loss. For example, the "standard" this section "requirements changes, an honest document, people, sign," Chrysostom advice, unfortunately, has not seen. During one week, MD also has some problems is not modified, mold factory has mold, waste mold sets, costs little, projects delayed for a week. Design PCB Board thickness is given by 1.6mm, programme play Board is 1.0mm--Murphy's for the first time how to say, things can go wrong, will go wrong. My feeling is that as long as the unexpected places, don't expect to be right. Pull the details, all would like to think.
Second test mode has been completed up to now, remote controls have stereotypes to see, send it out to friends take a look. We are trying to detail it sound better.
Small handle, big problems
Following difficulties in key hand, shell on the gaps between, appears to be little problem, in fact, is the most time consuming. We did on the remote control is a three-layer structure, similar to the hull structure of the detachable mobile phone, while the front keypad and side keys. Front keyboard composition containing the key cap, silicone pad, press the yoke, to coincide with the PCB on upper DOME piece. Permutations and combinations of effects can appear as a condition appears. We encountered:
Buttons in conjunction with a shell (allowance was easy to see that gap, gap small easy key card)
The hardness of the silicone pad
Silicone pads and the DOME of the contact area Ted Baker iPhone 5S case
The hardness of the DOME
The material buttons
Press bracket plates, buttons, height of the silicone pad tie Ted Baker phone cover
Key travel length
XXX......
Each adjustment will affect other components parts directly increases the difficulty. Plus the keys require laser light, press the bracket plate need to shade to prevent light scattering, silica gel plates need to be staggered to prevent key rotation, press the key in order to increase production and prevent the tentacles and so on request, regulate the key handle increases the complexity.
Three-layer shell cooperation, gaps, is a complex problem, such as hull (battery) and a tie between shell, hull to buckle fixed snap loose, falls easily off the (drop test, but close). Snap tight, you know, bad nail button clasp open. Requires special design to solve the problem, already under way, results and then share. Cooperation between the back cover and side keys, leave a corner crack, leaving no corner Kajian (problem solving).
T3 test, small batch under climbing.
We want to make it earlier and meet my friends, and want to make it better, it needs more time. I believe that one day, it will surprise you.

Read our remote control look, everyone has something to say?
For the use of the remote control, if you have any opinions? No arrow keys, no volume plus or minus keys, how do we complete the manipulation of television, interactive, and enter it?
You have any ridicule and praise, we very much welcome if tank in place, you are likely to act as our first batch of test users, participate in product development to Oh!

New atom performance ARM processors have and top closer, but are worse and the mainstream core of the series by a mile, but taking into account the thermal power of 14W and 2W gap, which is understandable. Use it for routine minor Office enough and finally surface series can also run X86 program! Said performance flaw, is that it does not use the SSD, and broken eggs eMMC 4.5, which even with the eMMc 5.0 modern Android flagship.
