The Wand Company TOS Tricorder is coming!

[Simonized]

That’s an Easy Peasy fix…..just buy the longest black/brown reversible belt you can find…strip off the hardware and trim to fit….

TWC should have made the strap reversible with two finished sides both black and brown colors.

The Arena is a Fav…..

Don't think they sell belts in 19mm width and then of course it can't be too thick, I may be wrong.
I bought a leather blank strap 19mm width 1.5mm thick, cut the same length as the faux wand strap and put the holes in for the screws with a belt punch. Just need to get it stitched.

I just received another invite even though I already received mine a few days ago. Act now if you didn't get one last time!

(Edit: For the record, I am not buying a second Tricorder.)

Yeah, I got one Wednesday too. Unfortunately, it wound up in my Junk folder, which I didn't see until this afternoon. Needless to say, I missed another opportunity.

Wand should sell SD cards with extra content with a matching ‘color coded Data disc’. They could have a Star Fleet ship identification log with images of starships with pertinent information about the ship. Maybe a larger archive of aliens and information about the different species. I’m sure there’s a lot more ideas of content they could come up with

Why not just add that information with every firmware update?

I think firmware updates would likely need to be limited to bug fixes. There’s probably limited memory space left on the existing hardware to contain any extra features. A micro SD card, on the other hand, can have gb’s of storage to contain extra content. Also it’s another potential revenue stream for Wand.

They could have a micro sd card and color coded data disc for the Enterprise crew and other characters with a data card with a picture and information similar to the Harry Mudd record in the existing archive but for Kirk, Spock the rest the known crew and characters that have shown up on the many episodes.

I think this comes from DeForest’s time in Westerns and being used to the long end being the barrel…he did the same thing a couple of other times…

Perhaps you can contract with TWC as a third party provider…and make a business of providing said services. Look at that…Entrepreneurship for yourself.

I did post my suggestion on the Wand blog and it was up for a short time and then it seems to have been deleted. Maybe it’s being reviewed? I don’t know.

Good Luck if they are considering, your suggestions.

I’ve already prepped for possible Micro SD card usage. On a single 32Gb MSDC…I shoe horned all TOS related seasons, movies, and animated…with about 1.4 gig to spare for TOS related odds and ends.

What a bunch of Yahoo’s…..

Shatner brought his experience from “The Enemy Within” to the westerns…with strange results…in 1969’s White Comanche:

“Eat the peyote…drug of the devil..dream your dreams of hate…”

Yeah…”Off-Topic”, I know…let’s get back to posting Amazon screen shots and tracking info.

I'd be happier if there's there's configuration files and a directory structure for placing user-created content on an SD card or through the USB port.

Bring on the hackers! Let's jailbreak this thing!!!

Chris says that it’s possible but unlikely, they’ll need to write new software to make SD card functional and they have other priorities right now. So I guess hacking would be the only way.

I presume there is no information on the bootloader?

Imo….TWC should have never put that non-canonized eye sore of a worthless (for now) MSDC Slot feature on the side of the hood.

The non-canonized but necessary feature of the USB-C connector to recharge the battery could as well be the communications port for upload/download data. No different then using the USB-C port for those purposes on cellphones.

Years ago people started writing open source code for the LEGO Technic system. When Lego found out they resisted the urge to freak out and slam the door through new FW, instead they embraced users adding new functions and extending their products.

I think about LEGO when products like this come along. Wand doesn't need to do anything, just let the community run with it and hold back on the C&Ds later.
