Hi All,
I have received [that thing that changes hands that I can't talk about outside of the black market] for about 80% of the orders. I know a few of our builders don't necessarily log in or check their messages daily, so I imagine those folks will come through this week. Regardless, boards will go into production this Friday, and I'll keep you all updated on progress!
I have been overwhelmed (in a positive way) by the enthusiasm for this project. So many of you have sent me very kind personal notes, and I truly appreciate it, as this has been a much bigger undertaking than I ever anticipated. I know many are also champing at the bit to order components. My other task this week will be to get the BOM and build documents fully up to date with the various minor changes that have been made since the prototype version, at which point I'll share to the thread here. Please be as patient with me as you can (yes, I also receive the more agitated PMs, and while I understand the impatience, I do have a full time job and there is a limit to how fast I can get everything done here, especially if we want to minimize errors).
Looking forward to getting this into everyone's hands!
