Whew! Sorry again everyone. Been out of the country *again*, and will be leaving to Australia in early June for a couple months. Work has been crazy this year. That said... here are updates on all my existing and future projects. .
*EXISTING PROJECTS* *If your name is not listed below and you're interested, please let me know! Cost will be roughly the cost to manufacture and assemble + shipping, in the $300-$400 range for various boards. * *DUSTOFF B7971 BOARD + ESP32 ADAPTER [ESP32 w/ WiFi Connectivity]* Based on the feedback provided, I have already put in another PCB manufacturing and assembly order for five DUSTOFF displays (no tubes). I am tracking the following individuals are interested (no commitment): 1.) Peter Doroba 2.) Jon Jackson (#2! + I owe working ESP32 back-end implementation of database) 3.) Wo Tu (board not assembled, kit version) 4.) Wayne de Greer (x2?) 5.) Peter and Jon, your maintained interest has been (happily) noted, looking for continuing interest from Wo and Wayne. *GEORGIA TECH GRADCAP B5971 [ESP32 w/ WiFi Connectivity]* Kind of a neat update on this one, I was recently issued a design patent! I have one remaining (no tubes). Last I was tracking, the following individuals were interested (no commitment): 1.) William "Bill" Eckler Will, please let me know if you're still interested. * ZM1350 8-TUBE BOARD [ESP32 w/ WiFi Connectivity]* I have two remaining (no tubes). Last I was tracking, the following individuals were interested (no commitment): 1.) Jon Jackson 2.) Paul Wolff Jon and Paul, please let me know if you're still interested. *UPCOMING PROJECTS * *STANFORD GRADCAP ZM1350 [ESP32 w/ WiFi Connectivity] * Especially excited about this one - uses a matrix array of ZM1350s to show off some neat moving graphics! Software is going to a pain and will largely have to be written from scratch, but should be a fun challenge. Design patent application filed on this. *POST-MODERN 8091 CLOCK [ESP32 w/ WiFi Connectivity]* The circuit board is up and running properly, but still trying to design an interesting and post-modern black anodized aluminum case for said clock... should we be neat when complete! I also only have 5 8091s, and am desperately searching for a 6th. Trying to turn this into a collaboration project with an industrial designer!
