WTB Helder AIO 2.2A board

Post by GenCab » Thu Jan 04, 2018 4:02 pm

As the title states. Looking to buy a few of Helder's AIO 2.2A boards. I would like to start my first build off this board. Looking for 2 of them but ill take what I can get.

After spending some time sifting this forum i'm a little taken back by the rarity in main boards. Seems you need to be a member of this forum at the right time to get your hands on the good stuff.

Any seller will need to ship to the US. Payment via paypal.


Thanks.

You don’t need to be a member at the right time, you just need to be a member that suscribe to finished batchs to be notified when a new one is opening.

For you interest, veteran has a great thread showing how easily you can build a GBZ without an AIO or a SAIO.

Have a look as you may have a REALLY bad time to find an AIO or a SAIO.

You can build a gbz easily without an aio. There are guides on how to use a $6 button board and wire the controls to the Gpio of the Pi. If you don't want to use gpio you can buy a teensy lc or a Leonardo pro micro; there are tutorials for that here also.

You'll need to lurk a little and be here at the right time to find one. Kite will also have some circuit swords up for sale next month or so. He will also start a preorder which typically runs for a few weeks. You can find out how to be notified about his sales by visiting his thread and signing up to his mailing list.

If you decide to go a non aio route there are plenty of experts here who would be more than happy to guide you through your build. There are also hundreds of threads where users have used a ton of different parts, some even fabbed their own boards.

Welcome to the community and I hope to see you around the forums!

Thanks @YaYa and @ dryla123. Good points and information. Thanks for the warm welcome as well. This forum does seem to be the place to be so I will be lurking. Since 3D printing is my segway here ill more than likely lean on the forums vast knowledge to fill in the blanks. Was thinking the boards was an easy way out "it is", but as stated availability is a damper on plans.

Personally i'm more interested in design and printing with exotics to make something different. That's what i'm here to do :)
