Hey guys,

Just wanted to give you another quick update on the status of the Positron kits!

But before I do, if you haven’t pre-ordered, you’ve still got a chance! I have 3 kits left in stock. Don’t worry if when you go to order it says they are on back order, that’s normal. I’ll update that page to state the orders are for the next run once I run out of kits for this run.

I expect the few remaining kits will be sold out in the next couple weeks, so act fast if you want in on this run!

And now back to our regularly scheduled update…

As you can see, I’ve finished soldering all the toggle switches, all the push buttons, all the volume pots, and all 200+ 3mm LEDs.

Tasks that remain to be done are crimping connectors on all the vibration motors,  assembling the switch and charge cable harnesses, assembling the cyclotron and slo-blo LED cables (which involves soldering 200+ RGB LEDs and crimping connectors), programming the boards, and formatting the MicroSD cards.

That’s probably a couple more weeks of work, though I’m going to do much of that work in smaller batches so I can begin shipping the kits soon. It’s less efficient, but those cyclotron and slo-blo cables will likely take a week all by themselves.

PS:

In case you didn’t notice, the cables for the volume pots are now  significantly longer (12″ / 300mm), so you’ll have more options as to the exact placement of the kit in your pack without having to cut the cable and extend it yourself, as some have.
