• Oh, man, that was epic: I've spent about 20 of the last 24 hours rewriting the software, after hitting limits on the arduino. Progress! #

A quick clarification on the first kits

First off: thanks to the new batch of backers!  We’re picking up steam, and should be able to break 33% funded by the end of this week.  Let your friends, family, and coworkers know that this project is out there: we need their support to make this thing happen!

And, on to real news: I, an engineer, didn’t explain something well enough.  Shocking, simply shocking.  I neglected to mention that, as a first-kit-recipient pledger, your muralizer experience will be easier than everyone else’s: you’re not going to have to solder anything!

CS writes in asking: “What would be needed to get the pledge-level kits working?”  Good question, CS.  Answer: not much!  The first batches of Muralizers come fully soldered, assembled, and ready to plug-and-play.  You just need to install some software, plug it in, and you’re good to print.

As an added bonus, the first ten Muralizers will have serial numbers, all lovingly hand-applied by yours truly.  If you want, I’ll even sign it, but I refuse to make them out to “eBay.”

Thanks again to the new supporters, and please drop me a line with any questions you have.  I’ve got another question from you all, suggesting a somewhat immodest use of Muralizer, which I’ll be revealing (and answering) soon…
