Nice! Sad to see no -5v. Someone was asking how to get a +5v/-5v power supply for an op amp, and audio power amps tend to want split voltages like that as well. That said, this still provides a pretty good range of the most commonly needed voltages! I wish I could afford to contribute!

static surge So sad this didn't get funded. Did you happen to go a different route with it?

If you search for "TikStation" or "Mini Power Station" on Kickstarter, you'll see that they also crowdfunded it there (a year ago). And while it did get funded and some people received, some did not. And of those who did, many had quality issues.

#

and in full disclosure, they joined my $1 patreon when the Kickstarter campaign ran and asked me to review the unit. I declined, I don't review crowdfunding campaigns (from people I do not know.) Within minutes of that reply, they unjoined.

fluid cipher Apr 9, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

That's the reason why I don't support crowdfunding campaigns, even when I'm very interested in product. Too much risk, too much, too many shady or failed projects, disappearing authors. Also protection from platforms sucks, at least the one from Kickstarter.
Also, I'm oldschool guy and believe that if you have an idea and looking for money, then you should look for investor/business partner and not expect customers to pay for you didn't even manufactured yet.

velvet wraith Apr 10, 2023, 3:15 AM

#

In general, Crowd Supply is a reasonably safe crowdfunding option. They appear to vet products with way more stringent requirements than a general-purpose route like Kickstarter.

That said, seeing TikStation, or whatever, show up there raised my eyebrow.

velvet wraith That said, seeing TikStation, or whatever, show up there raised my eyebrow.

Crowd Supply has a fairly robust jurying process, that vets each product before approving it to move forward with the crowdfunding process. First, a product will go to the prelaunch phase, where it will have to show community interest before it can move onto the crowdfunding phase. Sometimes products make it to the crowdfunding phase, but for reasons listed above, we intentionally decided not to not move forward with completing this campaign, and cancelled it.

Well, thanks for the update. I've had plenty of KS campaigns go south so I know it goes with the territory. In only one case did I actually think I ended up with a creator with less than honorable intentions, so I still believe in these platforms. I'll keep my eye out for other options...

I did see that the product in question is now available on Amazon (as of April 3 via KS update) so possibly got the kinks worked out...

Hi everybody, I'm glad to show what I was working on in the last few months. Last year we had made some designs using a PyCOM GPy (ESP32 + cellular LTE-M and NB-IoT), unfortunately the GPy went EOL and the PyCom company bankrupted. We did not find a good alternative for the GPy and thus I decided to make a newer, upgraded version from scratch but formfactor and pin compatible. It's called Walter and I'm pre-launching on Crowd Supply since two days now (https://www.crowdsupply.com/dptechnics/walter) . If you are interested, subscribing is of course nice, but I would also like to know if you already have experience with cellular projects and what projects you would like us to demo! Kind regards, Daan

The IOL HAT is a extension to Raspberry Pi and similar Single Board Computers that allows the connection of industrial grade IO-Link compatible sensors and other devices. There is a great variety of IO-Link devices available like distance sensors, temperature sensors, flow sensors, color sensors, or even HMIs. The integration in IoT projects is very easy and can be done in C, C++, Python, or almost any other programming language. I have a demo that uses about 40 lines of Python code (though most of it is exception handling), and I have made a video of this. I would appreciate if you subscribe to the project campaign!

Hello everyone, I hope this post is ok since it’s not exactly a crowdfunding project - but I don’t see other channels I can post this sort of self-promotion to.

Anyways, I’d like to introduce the ESP32-S3 PowerFeather. In a sentence, it’s a low-power, solar-capable, Li-ion/LiPo powered development board in a Feather-compatible form factor.

In terms of features, you can think of it as having the following hardware on a single, compact board:

ESP32 Firebeetle (or any other board with low quiescent current)
Adafruit Universal USB / DC / Solar Lithium Ion/Polymer charger - bq24074 (or other charging modules with ‘pseudo’ MPPT)
Adafruit LC709203F LiPoly / LiIon Fuel Gauge and Battery Monitor - STEMMA JST PH & QT / Qwiic (or MAX17048 module)
Adafruit INA219 High or Low Side Voltage, Current, Power Sensor (for monitoring supply/battery voltage and current)

You can find more details and links to various stuff in the landing page if you’re interested to know more: https://powerfeather.dev (landing page), https://docs.powerfeather.dev/ (documentation).

Hi everyone!

I'm thrilled to share an exciting project we've been working on at ROX Automation. While this is a pre-announcement, I couldn't wait to share it with you all and hear your feedback.

We're developing an industrial version of the Feather M4 CAN board, aiming for a launch on CrowdSupply. Check out one of our prototypes below! The final product will be potted to achieve IP67 rating. The final device will be look somethig like this

This device combines all the goodness of the Feather M4 CAN, upgraded with industrial-grade I/O thanks to 2x MAX14906 drivers, and a full IP67 rating! The MAX14906 provides overcurrent protection, extensive diagnostics, and more. It features 8x configurable DIO (up to 40V and 1.2A per channel), 2x analog inputs, and pass-through CAN connection.

The board is just 96 x 57 mm in size, making it only slightly larger than a credit card. We're designing this as a decentralized controller unit for mobile machinery and as a PLC replacement, especially suited for harsh environments.

This is still a work-in-progress, but I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Hello everyone! Our pre-launch page is live!

2 years ago our company started developing a Red Light Camera, we wanted to develop a product to save lives and reduce accidents on the road. We believed the capabilities and numerous possibilities of our design, far exceeded what we could develop on our own. We also strongly believe in Open Source, as it was and currently still is the cornerstone of all our work.

We knew many engineers around the world needed a platform to more quickly develop, test and deploy their Edge AI product ideas, a powerful and versatile Edge AI development platform that could save them entire months if not years of concept development and idea validation. Thus we took the decision to Open Source our design and begin our campaign on Crowdsupply.

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a quick update on something our team has been working on – MEGO 2.0, a rechargeable power supply for breadboards. It’s designed for makers and hobbyists who need a simple, portable solution to power their projects.

Here’s the cool part:
It has an adjustable DC output (4V to 24V) and a 5V USB output for powering other stuff.
It runs off an RP2040 microcontroller, which means it’s programmable and open-source.
It’s got a built-in 2000mAh battery, so you can take it anywhere without needing to plug into the wall.
It fits right onto a breadboard, making setup super quick and clean.
I’m launching this soon on Crowd Supply, and if you’re interested, you can sign up to get notified when it’s live. Would love to have some early support!

Ever wanted to create a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) to control things with your EEG signals or brain waves? 🧠
Maybe you wanted to create an EMG or muscle signals based prosthetic hand (myo-electric)? 💪
How about creating a portable wireless ECG or heart rate monitor that connects to your mobile phone? ❤️
Or you wanted to create an EOG or eye blink based wireless game controller to play games like chrome dino? 👀

To simplify the process of creating these HCI/BCI project we at Upside Down Labs are launching Neuro PlayGround (NPG) Lite, it is a Adafruit Feather form-factor board with 3CH BioAmp, ESP32-C6, Battery charging, 600mA LDO, 6x addressable LEDs for visual feedback, User & Charging LEDs, Reset & Boot button, USB & User ESD protection, USB-C for charging and programming. With daughter boards called playmates you can expand it's capabilities with features like a vibration motor for haptic feedback, buzzer for auditory feedback, 2.54mm electrode connector, QWIIC/STEMMA I2C port, and ON/OFF switch. You can also connect NPG-Lite with Adafruit feather wing boards as well to create cool projects!

We have four demos on the CS pre-launch page and many more exciting demos are in the pipeline which I can share with you guys here if you like what we are doing.

Hey all!

TL;DR: I built a hardware CTF platform - The Sword Of Secrets.

I'm excited to announce: The Sword of Secrets! an open-source hardware CTF platform I built for hackers, tinkerers, and security researchers. Although there are many software CTFs out there, hardware CTFs are rare—so I made one myself!

The brain is a RISC-V ch32v003, a $0.10 MCU with tons of features. I designed it to showcase secure hardware principles and common mistakes in cryptography and embedded design I've seen throughout my years.

It's not just a one-off challenge—it's a platform. With a secure bootloader and OTA updater, I'll release new riddles regularly to keep it fresh.

It's now in pre-launch - check it out here: https://www.crowdsupply.com/nyx-software-security-solutions/sword-of-secrets.

Would love your thoughts, especially from the hardware and security community!

Hey Folks

I’ve just kicked off the pre-launch phase for my next open hardware project on Crowd Supply — the Esparagus Audio Brick.

It’s an ESP32-based hi-fi audio amplifier and DAC built for smart home and maker applications, with a focus on open-source firmware, modular design, and easy installation. It’s the newest member of the Esparagus line and continues the same open hardware approach as my previous boards.

Key highlights:
• ESP32 + TAS5825M Class-D DAC/amp (2×25 W)
• W5500 Ethernet for stable networked audio
• Native integration with Home Assistant, ESPHome, and Music Assistant
• DIN-rail mountable and plug-in terminal connectors for modular multi-room installs
• Fully open-source — schematics, firmware, and documentation available on GitHub

The goal is to provide a sustainable, OTA-updatable, and truly open hi-fi audio platform that can scale - from one room to an entire home.

If you’re interested in the intersection of open hardware, smart home, and quality audio, I’d really appreciate your feedback or a follow on the campaign page: https://www.crowdsupply.com/sonocotta/esparagus-audio-brick

Big thanks to the Crowd Supply community for all the inspiration over the years — this project definitely wouldn’t exist without the open hardware ecosystem.

Hey folks! We’ve been working on a project to solve one of the most frustrating bottlenecks in wireless research: Integrive-100 MIMO SDR.

Most SDRs rely on a host PC for real-time signal processing, which introduces non-deterministic latency and jitter. This makes accurate 5G/6G and URLLC prototyping nearly impossible. We spent two years optimizing our hardware to offload the entire PHY chain (OFDM, Sync, FEC) directly to a Zynq 7020 FPGA.

So we created a standalone MIMO SDR with ultra-low phase noise and it takes the 'infrastructure pain away', letting you achieve Day 1 Productivity with simple API access (C/C++, Python). I’m happy to say that Integrive-100 is now in pre-launch! Check out our demo and technical specs here:

Hi everyone, I’m launching Dr. PD, an open-source USB-C Power Delivery analyzer and programmable sink.

It can sit between a USB-PD source and sink to decode traffic and correlate it with VBUS behavior, or connect directly to a source and emulate a sink for charger and power supply characterization.

A few headline specs:

USB-PD 2.0 / 3.0 / 3.1 / 3.2 support
SPR, EPR, PPS, and AVS support up to 48 V / 5 A / 240 W
Bidirectional VBUS measurement: 0–60 V and -5 A to +5 A
Real-time protocol decode with synchronized voltage and current logging
Browser-based UI with no drivers or installation
Python, JavaScript, SCPI, and USBTMC support for automation
Fully open-source hardware, firmware, and host software

The goal is to make serious USB-PD analysis more accessible without relying on proprietary tools that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Find out more on our pre-launch page:

Hi everyone, Adam here from Vector 3D (https://youtube.com/vector3dp)

I'm here to introduce AD5 by OHM Made Academy, the new home of our DIY electronics! AD5 is a headphone amp and DAC where the tiny SMD components are pre-soldered, but the through hole components are assembled by you!

Many DIY electronics projects lack detailed instructions, learning opportunities, and, in the end, leave you with a mediocre finished product. AD5 is different because it’s way more than just an empty PCB with a bag of parts. Each kit will ship with high quality instructions that give you a chance to hone your skills, assembly jigs and trays to keep you organised, all designed around a simple workflow that won’t overwhelm you. Plus, open source files will help you maintain the device you built.

Hi everyone! I'm working on the Robo HAT MM1 (first Crowd Supply product running CircuitPython). Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the product, crowd supply's processes or just about anything else!

I'm here to participate in the community and take your feedback on board!

I think Adafruit's team have done a great job setting up this channel. It is exactly what hardware makers need.

Two reasons:

Those are the projects we as employees were most interested in.

Those are the projects our audience were most interested in, which translated to sales.

We basically made the place we wanted to use for our own projects.

Is Chris Osterwood from Capable Robot on here? I think there could be an issue with his bootloader for the USB Hub

#

This:

26  #define BOOT_GCLK_ID_CORE                 SERCOM3_GCLK_ID_CORE
27  #define BOOT_GCLK_ID_SLOW                 SERCOM3_GCLK_ID_SLOW

should be:

26  #define BOOT_GCLK_ID_CORE                 SERCOM1_GCLK_ID_CORE
27  #define BOOT_GCLK_ID_SLOW                 SERCOM1_GCLK_ID_SLOW

viscid canyon Oct 7, 2019, 6:22 PM

#

@vast mauve - thanks for the heads up. I see your point (USART is defined as SERCOM1 and then 3 is used for GCLK). I'ver verified the change continues to work, but in fact am not using any of that functionality. I install the bootloader via SWD and don't intend users to update it over serial. May make more sense to just remove the whole BOOT_USART definition.

vast mauve Oct 7, 2019, 9:02 PM

Cool. I have been trying to work out how to remove it completely for one of my bootloaders but have not found a way for samd51. If you know how could you let me know?

Thanks @viscid canyon

vast mauve Oct 8, 2019, 11:38 AM

Let me just refraise what I said this morning... I don't know of any implementation to do what you want (disable UART) for the SAMD51. I have not been able to find a documented way within the bootloader library.

@hot panther Any thoughts about making TinyPICO work with CircuitPython?

hot panther Oct 13, 2019, 8:16 PM

#

@patent hull Not possible, as CircuitPython requires integrated USB, which the ESP8266/32 doesn't have. It's the same reason Adafruit stopped supporting it on their own Hazzah Feathers.

#

But my new ProS2 board uses the "soon to be released" ESP32-S2 that will have integrated USB, so that could be a good candidate for CircuitPython.

@hot panther D'oh! Of course. I'm getting one in my next order, will play around with Arduino and also as a NINA firmware co-processor to CircuitPython (NINA allows a&d writes currently, pending changes to allow a&d reads.

I'd be interested in knowing if it had provision for dynamic braking, shoot-through protection, if it supported 3.3V logic inputs, whether it's has isolated inputs, and what provisions there are for connecting the power supply and motor (the board pictured looks like it just has 0.1" header pads, which seem a little undersized for 12A).

I’m really curious to know about the process beyond a prototype, to get something mass produced in china. Or even small numbers of something. I know I can design a pcb online and order some for super cheap-are there companies that will build the entire thing? Either you have parts shipped to them or they have their own parts?
Like if instead of ordering cheap pcbs to make myself is there any websites I can order like lets say 10 of something completely built?

#

There are other places that offer assembly as well (JLBPCB, Slingshot, PCBGogo, CircuitHub). Prices vary considerably, but if you can use in-stock parts (especially at Seeedstudio) or parts available from Octopart, it tends to go more smoothly. The only one of these services I've used personally is CircuitHub, who does a first-rate job, but they're the opposite of cheap.

#

Hello and welcome to @dense iron !

#

Do you want to start by giving a bit of background about yourself?

dense iron Nov 27, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

Hello everyone!

#

I am Gordan from the makers duo Pixblasters. We are experienced embedded/FPGA engineers who come up with an idea of enabling huge digital signage video LED displays to everyone.

#

Our campaign explains the history of the development of that idea - from the fact that it was almost impossible to do 20yo ago, the development of single board computers like Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone, availability of LEDs... Everything aligned to approach to large video screens from the bit different angle - by using the LED strips.

hidden moon Nov 27, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

Your campaign is wrapping up today - was there any interesting or unexpected feedback that you got from backers during the campaign?

dense iron Nov 27, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

Thanks for asking. One of main campaign goals is, aside to enabling the initial production run, getting a feedback from the community. We have definitely received many valuable info.

#

For example, we get a clear idea of what LED strip types need to be supported, found out what needs to be more explained in details, etc.

#

We will inform our supporters about planned future upgrades in one of the upcoming updates. For sure, there will be support for APA102 and SK6812 LED strips. We will also investigate other LED systems.

#

Of course, the end of the campaign does not mean that we will stop communication in that way. If there are interesting suggestions that can be supported with the present HW/SW system, we would be pleased to hear more about it.

hidden moon Nov 27, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

That's great, communication is always encouraged.

dense iron Nov 27, 2019, 7:46 PM

#

btw, some supporters plan to build reaaaallly big displays! We hope to see videos of such DIY achievements in the future.

hidden moon Nov 27, 2019, 7:48 PM

#

Very cool! Do you have any favorite demos so far?

dense iron Nov 27, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

First we need to deliver more boards to the field 😃 As far as we've been told - installations of the bus-size are planned.

#

Btw, the campaign is wrapping down. The next step is a production. Currently we prepare test bench for the produced board that will be tested and SW flashed before the shipment.

hidden moon Nov 27, 2019, 7:58 PM

#

I'm sure backers will appreciate updates throughout the process. You're using a local factory for manufacturing - are you planning to visit?

dense iron Nov 27, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

Yes. We have experience with the factory. Depending of their schedule, which is always stretched at this time of a year, we will try to go with the initial production run in order to test the manufacturing process. The board is already produced in a smaller batch, but there were some smaller changes that needs to be double checked.

nimble granite Nov 27, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

@dense iron according to the product description Pixblasters Video LED Controller supports several different types of addressable LED strips: WS2811, WS2812, WS2812B, SK6812. Which type is your favorite and why?

dense iron Nov 27, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

The latest two are our preferred choice because of the speed. They enable 60 frames per second vertical refresh rate, or in other words, very smooth video reproduction. Even when you are filming such displays, video artifacts are hardly visible or totally invisible.

#

But, the configuration interface enables controller adjustments for any of above LED strip types. We were targeting the fastest LED strips because of video.

#

My suggestion for any LED enthusiast is to have a good look at the datasheet. Some of those LEDs have mixed R, G and B color components. The RGB order in the control word is also programmable on our LED controller.

hidden moon Nov 27, 2019, 8:14 PM

Good question @nimble granite ! Thanks all for tuning in, and thanks to @dense iron for being here. We're gonna wrap this up, but stay tuned for Pixblasters manufacturing updates in the coming weeks.

Hello Friends,

Yes I am the one who initially posted the query in relation to posting the survey.

We are building the next generation Power Bank v2.0 to solve many of the problems we face in our daily life. I wish to know your opinon on the features we are planning to put together.

Please watch the 1 minute video explaining the features we think are important and let us know what do you think about them by filling up a simple survey form here: https://instantpost.in/power I would appreciate if you can share the link in your social network. It will help us reach wider audience and make informed decisions.

In case you free a detailed description of features you may consider watching our 4 minute video: https://youtu.be/9LOkCBYB_8w

If you have a feature of your own in mind that you always wanted but did not find in any power banks, then I am listening. Let's build the Power Bank v2.0 together.

In case you wish to know more about any specific feature, just drop a comment I will be happy to explain them in further details.

@river widget Quick feedback from quick watching .... it's a power bank with 2 modules, I like the idea of swapping. Today we are used to replace them completely (when not working anymore) since they are quite cheap. Your approach could save "some electronics". I like to idea to re-charge my laptop! That's a coll one .... but .... how do you manage different voltages? A traditional powerbank is 5V only. Last: all those features about storing files, sync, cloud, etc. Honestly I didn't understand them, if it's a power bank it should store energy, not file. Are you embedding some sort of flash memory (with some wifi service) inside the power bank?

@meager forge Thanks for taking out time, Yes based on the survey 70% people like this option to be able to swap cells. We are also trying to support multiple chems like NMC, LFP etc. in order to allow everyone to choose what works best for them. The modular approach is also aligned to another project of ours where anyone may detach their drained cell module swap it with charged cell module from our public kiosk without even having to charge.

#

For the laptops, we are dividing them into two categories, one that supports USB Power Delivery 3.0 or related Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0 to negotiate voltage on their own over USB Type C port. For the traditional laptops, 95% work with chargers with 19V, 19.5V and 20V which we will allow to switch using a single button to send instruction. The idea is not to have 100% coverage with first release. As we get to know about laptops that charge at another voltage level we will create a profile for it that can be remotely sent to the power bank and then they can be switched to just like the standard voltage levels mentioned above. For e.g. if someone reports a laptop that works at 18V then we will create a profile and if present on the power bank, the button click will switch between 18V, 19V, 19.5V, 20V on such laptops. We want to allow people to be able to create their own profiles so that they can add support for more devices.

#

The last feature comes from my wife, who has a never ending problem of low storage despite upgrading phone so often and expanding storage. The problem is amount of photos and videos she creates and same is the case with her friend circle. She hardly has time to backup content due to her busy schedule. So I thought of enabling this feature where person can select folders and file types on their devices that will be get synced to local storage on power bank while charging and deleted from the phone silently without any manual intervention. Now to avoid carrying power bank everywhere it's much better to enable wifi support which can be configured over ISP router to deliver these photos and videos over Internet. This is exactly what my wife wanted since she does not appreciate uploading her content to cloud. So I thought of including it in the survey to see if it makes sense to more people who might be in a similar situation. It turns out to be of interest to 60% of the respondents so far.

#

Yes for remote management we are planning to install ESP32 on the power bank but we are waiting for more responses on our survey before we finalise on the right components

#

However our first few prototypes will carry ESP32

#

For the storage we initially thought of internal storage but 70% of the respondents asked for 100Gb or more up to 2Tb so we are also considering to just offer a USB port to attach storage of their choice in place restricting to something of our own

#

Initially I had only created the video but after @wintry sphinx mentioned video may not always work so I have put together this text Survey as well https://instantpost.in/power

Crowd Supply Announcement on COVID-19 and Teardown 2020 from 3/17/2020

We will post large Crowd Supply announcements here in our Adafruit channel, but for further and more frequent announcements we post in our own Discord server. Invite link is: https://discord.gg/mAgtHAw

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve rescheduled this year’s Teardown to September 18-20, 2020. Fortunately, it will take place at the same great location as originally planned - PCC Cascade Campus.

While there’s a chance the pandemic will be under control by the originally scheduled dates (June 19-21, 2020), that chance seems increasingly slim and still wouldn’t have left enough time for attendees, presenters, sponsors, staff, and volunteers to properly prepare.

If you’ve already purchased a Teardown 2020 pass, you can either keep your pass for use in September, or request a full refund.

Crowd Supply COVID-19 Response Measures

In addition to rescheduling Teardown, Crowd Supply has taken steps to protect our staff, creators, customers, and wider community and minimize the impact of COVID-19 on our operations.

Starting March 2, 2020, staff were encouraged to work from home, a strict hand washing policy was instituted at our office, all business travel was canceled, and all in-person business meetings were either canceled or required special approval.

Starting March 13, 2020, all Crowd Supply employees were required to work remotely, with the exception of one person to coordinate deliveries to and shipments from the office, which are minimal.

Our shipping partner, Mouser Electronics, is also closely monitoring the situation and is currently fully operational as normal.

The full Crowd Supply update can be seen here:

hoping this channel is the right place to ask this questions: how feasible is it to crowd supply a FCC pre-certified module ? As in I want to design the module and crowd fund so I can get it tested and certified for production.

wintry sphinx Jul 2, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

How much experience do you have with FCC certification?

visual siren Jul 2, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

at my last job (company that makes material testing machines based in MA) I designed a HMI that controlled 8 SPI devices over serializer deserializer, I went to the testing site and worked with coworkers and test engineers to gather data

#

then I elected to add a commond mod choke to the differential signals from the serdes and thats it

#

so I guess I'm a totally greenhorne in the area but I have a network of colleagues to perform design review

topaz timber Jul 2, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

@visual siren Hello! This is a great place for this question. We are always happy to try to clarify what we do and help creators do what they are trying to do.

If I am understanding you correctly: it is possible to design a piece of hardware and crowdfund on Crowd Supply to cover manufacturing and costs, which can include FCC and CE certification. It is not possible, however, to design a product and run a campaign to only cover the costs of FCC or CE certification. In general, all campaigns must deliver an actual item to backers, and figure out needed certifications during the project process. We lightly guide creators through this, but don't do the certification work for creators.

#

@wintry sphinx Sidenote: your timely and on-point responses are always sincerely appreciated by me.

visual siren Jul 3, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

I would be marketing the module with rewards for backers of course but I guess I was mostly curious about the cost of FCC/CE certification being a part of manufacturing and you just answered my question regarding that. This is good news and seems like my idea could be viable. Right now Im in the planning/design stage I just wanted to start gathering information about funding and manufacturing to see if its possible.

#

I was mostly curious because I see FCC/CE a large cost that could be considered separate from manufacturing and therefore harder to crowd fund.

Thanks for getting back to me 🙂

The Skull CTF Update: Answers Begin to Manifest...

A mind-bending hardware puzzle in three acts, The Skull is a Capture the Flag (CTF) riddle that invites you to explore the internals of the AVR architecture. It has multiple stages and will likely keep you busy for days, or even weeks, as you exercise the muscles in your brain and apply them to the riddle in hers.

TIP: It is likely worth your time to see if you can figure out the cryptic project updates on the campaign page, and this one is a good place to start...

Are you asking why someone would choose Crowd Supply over Kickstarter? Well, that's personal preference of course, but a huge difference is that we specialize in hardware and are hands-on through the entire campaign process. We also handle all fulfillment, and provide ongoing distribution for successful campaigns, including though partners like Adafruit.
