BoardX production wraps up March 26th, site updates, development kits and more

Update #12 · Mar 14, 2012 · comment

Hey Everybody,

I've got your news fix right here:

Production wrapping up

I've been talking with the folks over at SeeedStudio and things are on track to finish March 26th. That means BoardX will be shipping to the US, and then back out to all of you very soon!

The delays have been tough, but their customer service is great at working with designers to get things sorted out. I was able to help them find those out-of-stock power switches sooner than anticipated and they ordered them immediately to avoid further delays.

Site updates

I've been working at a feverish pace on the website in anticipation of the arrival of BoardX, and have added some cool new things like an official blog, and updated tutorial layout. I'll use it to post tech news and product related announcements.

Here's one of the first articles to be re-written (and an accompanying video is coming soon):  upgradeindustries.com/article/44/How-to-get-started-with-BoardX

Development kits

SeeedStudio has opened up their massive inventory of parts to us and we're working on putting together a beginner's development kit, including sensors, actuators, and of course a BoardX system. More info on this coming soon!
