Pledge: Nanodes

From London Hackspace Wiki
Latest Nanode 5 - running code!

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

Update 2-6-2011

This pledge is now closed.

The 100 kits distributed through the London Hackspace have now been sold - in fact we are 25% oversubscribed.

Further Nanode Kits can be obtained at a price of £20 + £2 P+P from Ken Boak.

Please contact @monsonite on Twitter for further details.

Nanode Bulk Buy

Hackspaces can benefit from buying Nanodes in bulk and making them up themselves. For more details on the costs of various batch sizes, please contact Ken Boak @monsonite on Twitter.

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.

We have received a very generous sponsorship offer from Pachube, which will allow us to finance a batch of 100 bare pcbs. Nanode uses Pachube for its web connectivty, so it is very fitting that we have a symbiotic working relationship with those guys in Shoreditch. In exchange Pachube will receive and evaluate 10 Nanode kits and spread the word to their user base.

The have been many pcb enhancements to the original Version 2 prototype shown opposite. As a result we chose to build and test a free prototype board made at Spirit Circuits before we commit to the batch of 100 boards. As of 14/5/2011 now that I have successfully tested the new prototype, the version 5 pcb files are now ready for dispatch to the board manufacturer. We expect to have the boards back in the last week of May.

Update 1-6-2011

The pcbs arrived today and the first kit is built and up and running code.

Order Progress

Version 5 Nanode - Lower side of pcb

100 pcbs have now been ordered. Now confirmed for delivery on June 1st.

100 sets of Ethernet "Magjack" connectors ordered and now at Cremer St. (Thanks to Martin Klang for rescuing these from the "Special Delivery" nightmare).

100 sets of ICs and USB connectors ordered from Farnell - these being delivered to Ken's place of work - because of high value.

The remainder of low value components, resistors, capacitors, crystals, solder etc have just arrived from Rapid Electronics.


Nanode Build Weekend

If you intend to come along to the first of the Nanode build weekends on 4th/5th June - in order that we have some idea of numbers please add your name to this list under the day(s) you will come along. You are welcome to come on both days - space providing.

  • Richard Inglis & Emil Inglis
  • Artag
  • asc


Just Sunday 5th

  • v21 Sunday
  • elyob Sunday most likely (poss both) (possible to collect prior .. as can build at home .. work in Shoreditch)
  • fon Sunday
  • Jyoti Sunday


No Preference

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 is required for programming the Nanode. You'll be using this frequently so it's best to have your own. - This may not be needed now - Ken is trying to fit a USB port onboard.
  • 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 a suitable programmer at the space.
