The downside of funding Kavrous with existing board sales is I have to wait for the next couple orders to get more PCBs ordered lol.. bootstrapping isn’t for the faint of heart. Anyways, how does 25% off sound lol..

KeyBoy is officially in BETA! That means from now until October 15th, you can order KeyBoy beta units and provide valuable feedback for KeyBoy moving forward! You can find the KeyBoy beta order page here: shop.kavrous.com/store/p28/Ke...

KeyBoy - The Pocket Sized ESP32 Game Player

The KeyBoy platform brings the most popular ESP32 platform together with a beautiful sounding 3.2W capable I2S Audio Amplifier from NUVATON, combined with LiPo charging. This board will go anywhere.

It’s settled, applied to @crowdsupply.bsky.social again this time for KeyBoy. Let’s do this! Also would love to get some early beta testers some units so I’ll open beta orders here soon on the Kavrous Shop. Stay tuned!

I just noticed the @tindieofficial.bsky.social shop hit 100 orders. And while that isn’t necessarily 100 individual people, it is 100 orders where people trusted what I built. I’m truly thankful for all your support. Here’s to the next 100

This looks like a job for @aisler.net 😅 But first I've got to clean up all the routing and finish the production data. For those wondering what this board is, it's another excuse to make a small board, this time with the CH32X035 MCU in a XIAO/QtPy compatible form factor. More details will follow.

One of the first new products that will hit the shop under the new business name is KeyBoy. You might remember KeyBoy from like 2 years ago if you’ve followed along for a while. Anyway, it’s coming and will hopefully hit the shop in time for Christmas!

I’ve decided to bring back some popular products to the shop. PixelLeaf has always been a popular product due to its size and density. I’ll be working on getting some made and in the shop :) www.tindie.com/products/oak...

I tell ya, living in America is so freeing. Where else could you live, take your kids to the dr for things they have no control over, and then pay $3600+ while the insurance company pockets billions. It feels so good to be free.

I think the more disappointing change over time with the AI revolution is the direction Apple has gone. Their choices were palatable for a while, but abandoning the community who bought Apple for the experience is sure to be evident when things turn down in the future..

It’s honestly wild how a new printer will just take the mental log jam and just blow it up with the largest amount of creativity possible. I actually opened 3D CAD for the first time in ages and designed stuff.

** CH32V Trinkey ** This thing is so cute! It's only 1/2" wide and 1-1/2" long. It's modeled after the @adafruit.com Trinkey boards. It could be used for a few different tasks but I'm using it for my "Adventures of Sara Cladlow" text adventure games.

Did a quick price comparison on Kavrous 2-E JLCPCB 6L + stencil against @oshpark.bsky.social 6L + OshStencils. Pre-tariff JLCPCB cost $127.35, OSHPark and OshStencils comes to ~$80. I do like the filled and capped via from JLC but $40 premium plus tariffs just makes it not super attractive.

If you go on r/embedded and r/pcb you will see tons of people like “my first project, an ESC!” And it’s always been a joke there than ESC are the most common designs people make. Well, if you read the Kavrous intro I said we’re building a drone… so I’m making an ESC lol.
