    KM2 is Making a new Electronics Board

    this is a repost from the Tinker's Guild.

    "Okay get your wishlists out, I have the bandwidth (and workshop) once again to design and bring to market a new custom marker board.

    Seems like Tadao filled the vacuum left by KM2, is there much call for a new board? Maybe a generic one like the Morlock?

    I was considering making a micro-morlock which would be something like:

    - Fully USB programmable, all timings, software upgrade, etc..etc.. with at least a windows app, probably an android app too if I can get that working, but I have heard-tell of problems with USB compliance..
    - Support every fire-mode you can think of
    - LCD support
    - Run 3 power channels (two solenoids and a hopper, or maybe pulse/wireless thingy channel..?)
    - Support eyes of course (what the heck, I invented them..
    - be super-small.

    And whatever else anyone can think of.. let me know, I would try to hit a $99 price-point with it, maybe like $49 for the LCD module, probably need some sort of 3-button interface too.. that could be tricky.

    I would have to sell at least 100 of them to make this worthwhile, so if it's just tepid interest I'm not going to bother.
