That's not a Wand Tricorder Demo.

From the actual post:

"All of us dream of owning a working tricorder, and have been long awaiting the Wand Tricorder. So in that spirit, I am sharing something even better from Bart Braun, who created a Arduino controlled, menu based interactive tricorder faceplate, it is truly a delight to use, and gives the feel of what a tricorder could have done in the 1960s, if only they had the technology.

What you see in these images is an amalgamation of old and new, a classic Marco tricorder build with Bart's creation. Clint Young did an excellent job on the build, integrating the faceplate, a working Moire, removable data disk from Mike Reader, and a USB Power bank. Thanks to Michael Bastraw who inspired me with his version of this tricorder."

Nice looking ……

The data disk doesn’t look like previously shown Wand color coded, and it only looks like there’s just one removable disk (last one on the right)

Not a bad project…

Peace

I sure hope not….there is a lot of “wrong” with that model…the faceplate shapes are “wrong”, the side panels are “wrong”, and the texture looks like ABS, which is “wrong”.

Cool demo, though

Hi Nick,

Thanks so much for getting in touch.

As soon as we are ready to start taking pre-orders, we'll let everyone know via our update system. You guys who have already registered, will be the first to know and we're making enough to go round so nobody will miss out.

We're super excited.

Kindest
Charlotte

Seems a shame to put that fine electronics package into a Marco tricorder.

After seeing the wand Company talk about their pip boy props for Amazon's Fallout, I have 100% faith they're make an incredible Tricorder. Esp given the commitment to manufacturing and detail for the pip boy.

Prediction: Pre-sales before this Christmas.

Fingers crossed something to show at San Diego Comicon.

That would be good news.

Here we go! This posted on TWC blog just hours ago:

How dare they not go out of business to get us a tricorder sooner!

 

[dbrussee]

I'm confident that they wouldn't telegraph "... next few days..." to this group unless they were ready to provide some significant update.

We will see ..

I know Chris Barnardo brought a Tricorder to Adam Savage to be reviewed on TESTED. Maybe they’re announcing the release of that video.

That would be a pleasant and welcome surprise!

To the untrained eye, this looks great! Our eyes, however, have been trained.

 

[Ronldheld]

So why did they design it that way?

I may have been a little overzealous. I’d had about 30 ounces of coffee in me at the time.
