early next week they'll be in the mail. thank you everyone who
pre-ordered! it really helped us out.

also the sources are all posted up at http://monome.org/40h/kit

we're very glad to be a part of a community which can support such
endeavors. this is a new level. here we are.

Great news!

Nice assembly guide btw, couldn't stop laughing when I read this:

"super super important! make sure the half-circles match! don’t put this 
in backwards, you’ll be very sad later."

I'm sure everyone has made this mistake once they started with soldering 
and components...

Not an IC, but just last week I "tested" my first LED in a couple of 
years and ... um, well let's just say It went to Transistor Heaven 
almost right away.

:p LOL, that's why I ordered like 10% more than I needed .... hope 
that's enough :D

Incredible News BTW.  Am a newcomer, that's for sure.  But it feels so 
cool to be part of this, really happy for this happenin' community. 
Cheers -h.

Hey guys, do you happen to know what the green (original) led part 
number is? I really like that color and might just decide to get those. 
Unless I can find some pretty pastel colored leds! j/k lol!!

jameco discontinued the green leds. i'll try to find a replacement part.

just a note that a big shipment went out yesterday (if we shipped your 
order, you got an e-mail), and we'll be shipping again at the end of the 
week.

cheers!

oooh. just got word that my kits have shipped. a custom faceplate is 
also on its way, as well as a variety of sensors from sparkfun, and leds 
from jameco. my 8 x 16 80h is about to be born!

Where did you get or who manufactured your faceplate?

the faceplate is made by k&m machining in colorado.

Hi Brian/Tehn,  could you tell me how many kits are left for sale?

I'm frantically trying to save my pennies to buy two full kits to make 
the 8x16 that I've been thinking about every day for weeks but wont have 
enough cash for both kits for another two weeks or so.

I'm really worried about missing the boat in the same way I missed the 
original 40h!

Thanks
Will

we have a good number of kits left, you won't miss out. there might be a 
resurgence of interest once some people post their finished projects, 
but that may be some time off.

the 128 (8x16) will also be ready in a few months.

Phew!

I'll sleep more soundly tonight


Thanks
