[ARCHIVED] Circuit Sword, Circuit Sword Lite + Circuit Gem - CLOSED (ARCHIVED)

[Telaron]

Hi, is it possible to choose if I will get the compute module 3+ or the Lite? Or is it random?

You will receive the 3+ lite.

@kite: I am about to place an order for Circuit Sword and I am wondering if, for a price, you would be able to put a couple additional components into the shipment:
- a GEM board (I busted a previously ordered one, but apart from the board, display and everything else is good)
- a HDMI backboard for Sword (since I made my 1st build, I had problems with HDMI and would buy an spare backboard if possible)

Probably this is more proper question for PM, so let me know if my ask would be possible to follow up by PM/email.

Thanks!

If you order the one that contains the CM3+ (£130) then you will get it, if you order the one with the CM3 (£117) then you won't! The button titles say exactly which is included, so in no way is it random.

You can order a new Gem via the links in the first post. If you also order the 'Alternative back board + connecting wire' item and then send me an email, I'll make sure that that a HDMI back board is shipped to you instead.

Hey,
are the shipping times for the new 640x480 LCD the same as the Circuit Sword itself or is there any way to order them faster, on their own?

Is there any other use for the old 320x240 LCD screen, a driver board somewhere to use on a different project.

I have nothing of value to add other than to say thankyou for continuing to produce these!

[rumblepen]

is the 640x480 screen hands down better than the 320x240 screen in every way, or are there some things the 320 screen does better like color, brightness, response time...?

Can't wait to upgrade my screen to HD LCD!

Curious about this as well

Hi,

Is the 640x480 LCD compatible with the sword lite ?

Thanks
