Update #7: Bonus Kit + Shipping Update
Hey People,
Just touching base to let you know that we have a super über mega blog post about receiving a Bonus Kit + a Shipping Update over at our blog here: http://ninjablocks.com/blog/2012/5/30/bonus-kit-shipping-update.html
Cheers,
Maddy and the Ninja Blocks Team!
Update #6: Shipping Update
Hey everyone. First up, apologies from all here at Ninja Blocks for going dark over the last few weeks. This whole process has been a blur, time has just flown by, but we are back on top of it now. Without further ado, the question you are all asking...
When will I get my Ninja Block?
Soon! We said May and we are still aiming to ship most rewards in May and pre-orders in June. We've put together a mega update over on our shiny new website that hopefully sheds some light on what we've been up to. Check out the whole post for details.
http://ninjablocks.com/blog/2012/5/14/mega-ninja-kickstarter-update.html
Speaking of the shiny new website, its got a forum that we will be watching. So please post any questions, suggestions, or crazy ideas there so we can all discuss.
We can't wait to start sending out Ninja Blocks en masse and seeing what you guys do with them. Shouldn't be too long now.
Cheers,
Team Ninja
p.s. sorry about cross posting everywhere if you got this more than once.
Update #4: Siri talking to Ninja Blocks + IR Blaster
Hey Guys & Gals,
We thought we might share with you a quick demo of Siri talking to Ninja Blocks.
As always, feel free to share this with your friends ;-)
Cheers,

It's a non-trivial install to get SiriProxy working! When you showed it working from your car I assume you were VPN'd into your NW, or were you sitting out the front on Wifi? :)

@pocketscience. Yup thats the point. That's why we do all the hard work for you :)
You do not need to be VPN'd in. You just need to change the DNS, which can be done with an iOS configuration profile we generate.

Update #3: *Hardware* Design Files Open Sourced
At Ninja Blocks we have a strong commitment to Open Source Hardware, that’s why we’re really please to announce that our Ninja Blocks hardware files have been Open Sourced and made available!
You can get the Ninja Block Cape Eagle Cad design files & sensor board files from: http://github.com/ninjablocks/hardware
You can get the Google Sketchup designs for our 3D printed case here: http://github.com/ninjablocks/case
The Beagle Bone design files from (the Linux board we use): http://beagleboard.org/hardware/design
So what about Software? It's coming soon (We're not quite there yet)!
Huge Favour to ask: Could you guys please Tweet / Facebook / Google+ and otherwise get the word out about Ninja Blocks and link to http://kck.st/y49ssb .
We've currently got 420 backers, we're hoping that we can get to 1000 before the project ends so that we can lower the cost of our yet to be released sensor & actuator accessories!
As always if you have any questions or queries whatsoever, please don’t hesitate to contact me on ninjas@ninjablocks.com .
Cheers,
Marcus
