Fun fact, the first popular modern breadboards with power supplies and switches and stuff we use today were $1,300 in 1974 dollars, so ~$9,855 today accounting for inflation.
Also, I’m the guy who made this and you’re absolutely spot on. I’m constantly working on making this better and cheaper as time goes on. It’s totally open source so I hope people will write firmware to do the things they want with it and share it with others who want to do that thing as well.
- jacquesm 3y agoI've been watching your project from inception and I think you're on to something, keep doing this and you'll definitely go places. Also: I'd suggest contacting the Adafruit people, they're right in your sweet spot and may have both good product ideas around what you're doing and a massive audience and market. On top of that they're nice.
- a_rabid_squid 3y agoHey thanks! Yeah this blew up really quickly, I have a batch of 50 coming which at the time seemed like a lot, now I have 500 preorders from this week. So yeah that's a great tip if I ever plan on improving the actual project instead of packing boxes all day forever. I'll do that.
