PCB's

I know Derek was thinking about a new revision of the PCB which is why more haven't been ordered however his day job is absorbing his life at the moment so I'm not sure how far along he got with this.  Derek - Poke!.

I'm currently only home one day a week & am seriously behind on 'things HAH'.

The stock level on the shop is probably a bit pessimistic. I do have one or two PCBs left. i'll check on Saturday and send personal messages to anybody who has indicated here an interest in buying one.

As for another PCB run, this can be ordered pretty quickly, but will have a lead time for fabrication.

Arduino instead

If PCB's are think on the ground could I flash the code onto a spare Arduino board I've got kicking about?  Although I would need to bu the RF kit from the shop...

Indeed this is possible

In fact with v3.x of the firmware (under development) we are prototyping using the Arduino board and using the Arduino IDE.  The code has been rewritten in C to remove our need for BASCOM which requires you to purchase the IDE, making the AVR firmware more open for changes by our community.

Where we are at so far can be found in the SVN repository along with the libraries that are needed.

PS: A new batch of boards has arrived in the shop a few days ago.
