Good News Everyone !

I'm back at home since few days, and I could seen that all the funds are now available. I received those from Ulule and after having called the support service of Paypal my account have been unlocked in the following hour (thanks Julien). So I could pass some other orders in the to-do list.
The little objects were almost all printed. I chose a model that is both convenient to ship and always fascinating to play with (I thought it would be be better that just something nice looking but which do nothing), you'll see at the right time ;)
This week-end I should be able to start shipping the first rewards, some of you may receive a card and a surprise in few days, depending of the transit time and your position in the queue (as I like to take the time to write something for each of you).

And for the little technical explanation of this news, about a choice that was made early in the project...
Why an Azteeg-X1 board ?
At first it was the opportunity to try a new board while it was in special pre-order price (I'm kind of an early adopter sometimes, could have been risky if they didn't continued to make these great boards, which fortunately they do ^^). It's also a simple card, like the Sanguinololu but with almost nothing to solder on.
Later I could seen that it's the only board that has the power from one side and the USB/Reset on the other, allowing to sort cleanly the electronic like I wanted to do, everything in the base while you have acess to the useful thing and no wires in the way from a side. It's a detail in the board, but that change everything on the overall design of the machine !
