Our Kickstarter just reached $10,000. And we have a sneak peek of the CEE!

Our analog/mixed-signal frontend boards arrived today. This is a physical instance of the boards we currently have in github, breaking out all of the pins on our opamp, the I2C bus for our ADC and DAC, and implementing all of our analog circuitry. This is a one channel development board designed for use with an external microcontroller.

I'm currently in Bethel, Maine, for FOSSed (the free/open-source software in education conference,) giving a talk about open-source hardware for education. I've spent the past day talking to teachers, tech coordinators, and "IT Janitors" from all walks of life, from all over New England. Nonolith and the CEE have received quite a bit of positive feedback.

When I return to Boston, I'll be reflowing the boards and beginning an exhaustive testing procedure, documenting all the registers of the DAC and ADC in our github repository, and load-testing our opamp and switches. If these boards work as expected, our next step will be a fully integrated alpha run. I've added our preliminary eagle files for this fully integrated board to our git repository.

Best wishes and many thanks!
