Is there any reason for it being thinner than an average PCB (I.e raspberry pi thickness/powerboost)? It seems that you had space when designing it.

Yes, cramming everything into a altoids tin and expecting to close properly is extremely tricky work. Every fraction of a millimeter has a huge impact.

The next time the combo becomes available it will be V3. Costs will be determined based on the features of the kit.

The next time the kit comes out will be V3. It's undetermined when it will be released. Maybe mid-summer or early fall but I'm speculating based on Helder's updates

Step 1, understand u missed the limited preorder period and u likely won't get what u want.

Step 2, politely ask helder if he has extras available.

There are no similar products. Audio is supplied via a small speaker with connections to the pi, through the board. Nothing additional needed.

So, when will the leftovers be up for sale, if there are any? Helder said the third week of April with no delays, so maybe the fourth week?

All I need now are the 3d printed parts to help hold things together.

Unfortunately there are 3 left overs which are already spoken for, if asked really nicely over the Discord chat I might be enticed to build one or 2 extra as I do have a few blank boards for it but nothing is made and sitting here ready to ship.

Next version might be out in a month or 2, I have to wait for parts to arrive since I'm doing everything to add nice features and have almost no soldering besides the pi and 3 simple solder points. This takes time and not so much designing things but finding the parts then waiting for them to arrive.

I also have some new things ready to go that will make the next version the best version aesthetically and controls much more responsive with no fussing on the end user. This last feature has taken a month itself to get a deal done then have a product in hand for testing and this is also costly, so have patience as there will be a newer and better version soon to come.

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.
