Get your reseller involved, and if you don't have one; get one. They do local seminars, you can just attend to become one yourself.

OSH will let you get one board cheaper than you can get a 10 board minimum proto-pack order from DPCBs. But if you need more than a one-off the savings are clear.

Yes, I pre-ordered a large batch of circuit swords for supplying as fully assembled units, or single-sourced kits with all electronics and 3D printed components ready to assemble. It’s a shame they are only available twice a year, but I’m p

Your best bet is a bespoke creation using the circuit sword, it’s quite a fine product. If you’re interested, the pre-order for this year has already closed but I secured a large order to fulfill custom orders for the holidays. lee@braains.

So Odroid came out with their own GameBoy zero eh? Not bad for <$50 considering I paid a bucketload to pre-order the circuit sword CM3 GBZ board just to get high score in Blade Buster on the road. Then once I got it I had to re-design al

Tempest 3000 supports rotary control, but a rotary controller never shipped for the Nuon. 18 years too late we got some NOS controller chips (proprietary stuff) and are making a run of “new” controller boards with spinner, specifically to e

Just make it like an old ThinkPad and you’ll sell loads of them. And please give us a 12” option ala x201. Hell just use ThinkPad keyboards, I’m pretty sure they’re still produced and isn’t that what Novena uses?

Wow great write up! I do hope ProjectM attracts some newer maintainers as it still is an amazing modular music visualizer, on the same level of the Visual Light Machine work of Jeff Minter (see XBox 360’s neon viz). Long live projectM!
