AcidFire: A bit off-topic, but what are the little caps on the bottom of the screws in this picture protecting the desk? Can you link to where I can get them?
It's something we stock for some of our kits, but we don't normally sell them seperately. I'll talk to my boss later and see if I can get them to let me sell some.
How is progress with this?
Reaching GB status anytime soon? :)
Currently waiting on the new test boards to come in so I can be sure the electronics work the way they should. I ordered it friday, and it mentioned that it should be ready to be sent to me by the 10th. I went with OSHPark this time, who are based in the US so I should get it a lot faster this time. I've also got all the electronics on hand and ready to go for when it comes in. Once they've been tested and I can feel confident ordering boards, I'll notify the selected beta testing applicants that they can order their hardware. After that, the actual campaign to fund proper production will all come down to beta testing feedback.
On the note of the beta testing kits, I've updated a bit as to what I'll be including with them:
Electronics:- 7x5 Node 01.1
- 7x5 Node 01.2
- Crux 00 CPU Module
Casing, Choice Of:- Split Case, Includes 3x4 Node 01.1, 3x4 Node 01.2. Choice Of Size: S, M, L
- 70% Straight Case, Includes 2x6 Node 01.0
- 70% Ergo Case, Includes 2x6 Node 02.0
There is a strong possibility of including all three case designs in a single kit, it will all come down to costs.
Switches & AssemblySome of you have mentioned that you've already got switches set aside for this, as well as caps so your kits will only be charged the cost of electronics + case. For those who can't assemble your own, I will be able do so as well as provide switches & caps (limited selection unfortunately.) Pricing TBD, but should be in line with what I mentioned before. ($110-120 full kit, less without switches & caps.)
