ES2008c: 1600 - 1800 s
FEE030 (B): be necessary but um
FEE029 (A): That's th th this is the agenda they gave me . So can you just explain what that is real quick ?
FEE030 (B): Alright , so um decisions , what the okay deci decisions on energy I'm thinking is based on the battery . Um I dunno , what do people think about this kinetic battery idea ?
FEE029 (A): Mm-hmm .
FEE029 (A): I think it's awesome . I think it's really cool .
FEE030 (B): Am I
FEE030 (B): Yeah .
FEE032 (D): Yeah , I mean , it would
FEE032 (D): t totally take care of our problem of not wanting to change batteries .
FEE030 (B): Yeah .
MEE031 (C): Yeah , um I think it's good , as as long as we consider the the cost and the uh how reliable it is , but as far as I know , the technology is good .
FEE030 (B): Right , I haven't gotten any yeah , any more information on cost other than it's more expensive than a regular battery , but um but if we're using a an i a cheaper chip , then it'll even out , I think .
FEE032 (D): Costs .
FEE032 (D): But over time
FEE030 (B): Um circuit boards .
FEE030 (B): Um yeah , I got a whole bunch of information on how circuit boards are produced . They're they're thin fibreglass with copper wires etched on to them , and di I think they're quite easily printed on by machine , which is chip on print is where the machine prints on the wires and solders it all together for us . I don't really know what to tell you as far as decisions . I wasn't really given any options , I was just given that this is how they're done .
FEE029 (A): Okay .
FEE030 (B): Um
FEE030 (B): yeah , I can't can't really tell you . I can I can tell you a whole lot about how it works . But I don't know any decisions on
FEE029 (A): If they're if they're really options .
FEE030 (B): Yeah .
FEE030 (B): I'm sorry , I did f
MEE031 (C): Al all circuit boards are pretty much the same , I think . Uh it's fairly fairly standard .
FEE029 (A): Okay .
FEE030 (B): Yeah .
FEE029 (A): Um okay , then we'll move on to the case .
FEE029 (A): Um oh bu I guess maybe if we decided on like a simple , a regular , or an advanced chip , maybe .
FEE030 (B): Right . Well okay , here's the here's the thing on the chips that I that I got . Um simple , regular , advanced chip on print . The chip on print includes an infrared sensor , so we don't have to worry about that .
FEE030 (B): Um ,
FEE030 (B): 'kay , the pushbutton if we're gonna have pushbuttons , they require a simple chip , but a scroll wheel requires a regular chip , and an L_C_D_ requires advanced . Do we want a scroll wheel , or do we just want pushbuttons ?
MEE031 (C): Um
MEE031 (C): I don't think we ne really need the scroll whe wheel . I mean it might be nice for changing the volume . Uh but
FEE030 (B): Oh .
FEE029 (A): It would be nice for changing the volume , but I don't know how useful it'd be for changing the channel . 'Cause you don't have control over numbers or
MEE031 (C): I don't think it would really work .
FEE032 (D): Yeah , it's a
FEE030 (B): Yeah , th it'd be it'd be handy for going through if there was an on-screen menu of your channel choices , than you can scroll down on the scroll .
MEE031 (C): Yeah , you really need buttons for changing a channel .
FEE032 (D): But if you c if you could scroll through the channels , and then the volume would just be
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
FEE030 (B): Yeah .
FEE029 (A): We have five minutes left for the meeting , so .
FEE032 (D): and the volume would just be like the same way , forward and backward as I'm just thinking like it would make it much like sleeker sort of looking . And otherwise , no matter how may buttons we have , we're gonna have like , you know , black with red sticking out and th no it's gonna inevitably sort of start looking like those group of sort of ugly ones that we saw stacked up .
FEE030 (B): Yeah .
FEE030 (B): Yeah .
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
FEE030 (B): Hmm .
FEE029 (A): So , have a scroll for volume ?
FEE030 (B): F or for all those secret functions ?
FEE029 (A): F
FEE030 (B): When you get on the on-screen menu of all your functions that your remote could do for you without the buttons and you could have a scroll wheel to go through those menus .
