I have about 20 boards, but only 10 or so ATMEGA328 chips. Not going to restock the chips unless there is volume interest.

if you click the other tabs, looks like everything else is available for purchase.

mr.mortified · 2011-12-14T00:19:02.000Z

also i have an arc-eye order lined up as well for some local pick up tmr, no time to bundle those two together?

Only one page has a purchase button and price. the rest don’t. they are product pages.

Vicko · 2011-12-14T00:35:59.000Z

i see, when you click the other pages the purchase link is there, but it’s only for the single model. kind of misleading but it’s all good.
Since you’re active, thought i’d repost my question:
I haven’t tested this on another PC but I’ll ask anyway. When I click continue on the first page of the configurator, nothing happens. The cursor changes to an arrow from the little hand/finger and the page never changes. I tried a different version of Java but no dice. This happens whether or not I have the sparky plugged in.

Just wondering if you’ve experienced that before and if it’s a java issue or something with the board.
This is for the sparky pwm from Focusattack.

Need someone to beta test these?
I just got my arceye2’s but nothing to connect them to. Figured its not worth getting one of the old PWMs if theres a new USB version coming.

If you’re serious about beta testing, shoot me a PM. It comes with some accountabilities and expectations

Llama_egg · 2011-12-17T05:15:36.000Z

I would honestly love to beta test the boards, if not only to be able to help out and give something back to the community. Sadly I’m not really sure what I could help with, being that I’m new to 'stick building!

mr.mortified · 2011-12-19T04:16:01.000Z

So I finally figured out how to install these properly

I was fiddling around for 3 hours before i realized that i had messed up my RGB lines…

Thats cool! I can see the three main lines and the individual grounds going into the sparky, but where is the button input? I’m not being dumb here am I? The PWM does need some way of knowing the buttons been pressed.
