    Thanks!

    Hey all!

    With all your CEEs shipped, we wanted to take a chance to say a really big “Thanks!” for your support over the past six months. It’s been an awesome adventure, and we’re glad to have had the opportunity to contribute an awesome design to the open-source ecosystem and take the first step on the Nonolith journey. 

    Going forward, we’re working to build a healthy ecosystem of demo applications, highlighting innovative uses of the hardware and APIs, giving you a solid “jumping off” point to put your CEEs to work. We’re also working on “cEE101,” a series of interactive video tutorials that will use your parts kit to teach you the basics of electronics. 

    If you have an application in mind and are struggling to get started, post to our mailing list at groups.google.com/group/nonolith-cee and we’ll help you out ASAP. If you’re making progress, build a wiki page at wiki.nonolithlabs.com and share your success with others! 

    Be sure to follow us at twitter.com/nonolith and http://www.nonolithlabs.com/blog.

    Thanks for being awesome!

        Beautiful!

        Is there a link to the backer's survey? I can't find it.

        Thanks!

    Home stretch!

    Today, we finally received the last package needed to finish this. We now have everything we need to deliver your CEEs. We have cables, we have assembled boards, we have cases, we have more cables, we have kits, we have nuts, and we have bolts. Our test/cal fixture has been reworked, and is pretty much kicking ass. We're putting the finishing touches on our calibration algorithm and starting the arduous process of hand-assembling the ~150 CEEs we need to get done for kickstarter. We're in the same place for the first time in the past six months, and we're powering through to the end.

    Here's a teaser - this is what those of you who supported us @ $150 can expect to receive within the next week or two. 

    This what you'll get. It took us about 6 minutes to test/cal, screw, and kit this. We just have.... 150 to go...

    Also, you should follow us on twitter here.

    Shipment update + Surprise!

    Hey All,


    The pieces are coming together! Our testbed is working to program CEEs, our case acrylic is looking great, all cables and wires have arrived, and the first CEEs were shipped to us from our assembly house earlier today.



    Good news on the software front, too! Pixelpulse, the user interface for the CEE, is almost ready. Check out a screenshot of it plotting the current-voltage curve of an LED:

    We also have a surprise! Everyone who pledged at "minimal CEE" or above will also receive a "getting started" kit containing a handful of parts for you to explore with your CEE. Chris Gammell, of the (awesome) Amp Hour podcast is producing a series of getting-started videos, cEE101, to teach you the fundamentals of electronics and Electrical Engineering. For those of you who are interested, a full listing of the included parts can be found here.

    We'll keep you all in the loop as we receive all the pieces and test/assemble your CEEs.


    Best!

    Rr Jj - We have more coming down the pipe! Dillon - No holdups, we're trying to decide between sending out the PCBs before guides and software are done, or having more work to do when the assembled CEEs show up. Would you rather have your bare board next week, even if the documentation and software aren't finalized?

    PCBs and Production

    Hey All,

    Stacks of PCBs

    Boards arrived yesterday.

    Parts

    Parts have been sorted and packed.

    CEE v1.0 on pogopins

    CEE V1.0 has been assembled and tested. This board revision added a single red LED for status indication.

    Boxes

    We're sending the supplies to our assembly house tomorrow and we should have CEEs in our hands in about three weeks.

    The case is nearing production as well. We're getting the logo printed on the inside of the top panel, for an even nicer look than the laser-etched photos you saw in our previous post. Acrylic is in the mail to our cut/print shop.


    Best,

        Is there anything holding back sending out the bare board for the people that ordered them like that? Or are you waiting to send everything out at once?
