Pledge: Nanodes

Functioning Nanode!

This a a pledge for the bulk purchase of PCBs and all required components for pledgers to construct the Arduino compatible Nanode boards.

With a group purchase we can get both PCBs and components at a great price. Furthermore, we avoid burdening Ken with the initial cost of PCB production and then having to recoup it retrospectively.

Pledge operation

This pledge will operate differently than others. Pledge amounts are fixed at £18 per Nanode kit. Each pledger will receive a PCB and the all of the components required for one Nanode for each £18 that they pledge. We'll stop the pledge and commence ordering when we reached a volume that enables us to purchase each bundle for £18 or less.

Warning

Please be sure that you know what you're buying!

• Construction/soldering required
• Access to a FTDI cable or another Arduino is required for programming the Nanode. If you choose to use an Arduino you'll need to swap ATMega chips whenever you wish to program.
• Access to an AVR programmer or another Arduino is required to burn the bootloader - you should only need to do this when you first construct the board. We have an AVR programmer at the space.
