…don’t mind me

Design is done. The plastic housings are made an en route. The power wire and connector pieces have been ordered and should arrive within two weeks. The pcb is laid out and being made and assembled now; it’s just a questions of when the pcb’s will be done and on their way that I dont have an answer for. If its anything like the other boards I get made, I wont know anything until they ship, and like 3 days later they’ll be here and I’ll be busy bagging.

None that are really significant. The PCB was cleaned up to just look nicer, but otherwise it’s the same as the protos.

NICE! keep us posted!

THIS is why I haven’t been wanting to talk about price until everything was said and done in front of me. The plastic housings were sent to Salt Lake city airport, where they are waiting, need to be cleared by customs ($), which will require a customs broker ($), and trucked from there up to Boise ($). sigh

Hey, Marcus
How about preorder? It can cover some of your current spendings.

[butteroj]

That sucks Marcus

I’d still very much like one despite price, I just appreciate all the work Toodles, among other people do for the community. A while back I sent a PM to ya Toodles but I realize your a busy man. SO if you ever have the time let me know how I can go about obtaining one when all is said and done.

Appreciated, but not neccessary. Something like that is just a risk I’m not willing to take. I’m willing to gamble with my money, but not with other people’s.

When they’re done, there will be plenty, rest assured. Once they’re available, all of the info to get them will be posted up in this thread.

Cool I’ll be looking forward to it, and I appreciate you providing the information and great products, much respect.

Hey Toodles, I know you’re almost there, but for your (inevitable) next product why not put it on Kickstarter?

I’m sure it would help you gain exposure too.

Production housings arrived at my house today. Now we’re waiting on the assembled PCBs and the power cables to arrive. I’m expecting the PCBs within 3 weeks, and the power cables are a little more iffy but should be around the same time.

any chance this will be available by EVO? I want this.

I will be inconsolably pissed off if they aren’t.

Just got an invoice for the additional shipping charges on the Spark pcb’s. They’re made, and about to be shipped and on the way. I should get them sometime early next week. Once I do, all we’re waiting on is the power cables. And a cubic crap ton of packing and testing for me to do.

[Deansta]

Take my money!

Can’t wait… :badboy:

[butteroj]

cant wait!

[mastermind]

Yup. Can’t wait!

I’ve never played with an optic joystick before but I would love to try one out. You can put me down for at least one kit and if it’s as amazing as everyone is making it out to be I’ll be slapping them into my builds in the future. I apologize if it’s been asked before but is there any kind of tester program I can buy into?
