Thanks for putting the pre-order back up. Is there anyway to have HDMI output and analog volume knob?

Only if you use the HDMI back board and then place a 3pin volume wheel somewhere of your choice (up to you to place it somewhere). Connect it to the 3pin "AVOL" connector on the board and enable it as per the wiki and it will work.

Is that an updated Gem, the screen ribbon cable isn't the same as the original Gem.
I still have a Circuit Sword Lite from last pre-order that I need to put together, just waiting for the clear black case to come in (probably tomorrow).

Word of advice to those buying the Circuit Sword and the Circuit Sword Lite, make sure you add some Kapton tape or electrical tape to the top of the mini USB charging port and the top of the power switch metal. When you bring the two sides of the case together sometimes the metals make contact resulting in Mode (WiFi, Keyboard, Temp, Battery Percentage) screen always being on.

Thanks for all you do Kite!

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? :)

Hello, quick question, is the new 640 LCD compatible with the last set of circuit swords? I still haven't made mine but if the new screen is that good, might be worth getting.

Is it possible to mount a game boy zero with the circuit sword and module 3+ lite ? Or the circuit sword lite is it the better way ?

Why the module 3 lite is in limited stock and not the module 3+ lite ?

Thanks a lot

Nope, same shipping times. The fastest shipping option available is Express Shipping, which you can sign up for via Patreon.

It is compatible with all Circuit Sword versions (except the Circuit Sword Lite), when the LCDs ship there will be a required update that will need to be done on the Circuit Sword software in order to get it to work. This will be documented closer to the time with steps to easily complete.

I don't quite understand your question, take a read carefully of the options. The "CM3 Lite" is the older product, the "CM3+/Lite" is the newest Raspberry Pi product. I have spare stock of the older "CM3 Lite" versions, hence I am selling them at a discount until I am out of stock of them. There are no limits on the newer "CM3+/Lite" version.
