Just finished my first build. Would be interested in boards more than the full kit. I find it more fun to hack together piece by piece.

I haven't spoken to my contacts any further than seeing about the screens but it's also the Chinese new year this week so I doubt I'll get any response to any emails but I will contact them none the less. I will likely put the price at $50 since the assembly and screens will be more for a small run like this (thinking 100 kits). The $35 was a holiday sale to move the last inventory so that price will not happen this time around and I just had a tough customer who took that deal who I had to deal with and actually lost money on it so there will be some disclaimers I expect everyone to read and abide by (simple common sense stuff).

V3 is still a Work in Progress but I have a list of things I'd like to implement BUT I won't give anything away until they can be actually shown off to work.

If they don't read then when there is a complaint addressed in the disclaimer they have no case, like a terms of service thing.

Likely next week when I get in contact with the component sellers and LCD person I use when their Holiday is over.

Well I have been interested in trying this project for a while, just never had the time until recently. Have two 3 model B Pi's that I use, but wanted to give the Zero W a whirl. Will there be any major differences to V.3 from V.2? Just wondering if it would be better to wait till you have that figured out and ready or to go ahead and give it a try with V.2

As I've said before I won't reveal anything until I have working prototypes and that might be 2 months away so it's on you to make the decision to wait or not.

It's the V2 so yes it's built in, you should go read the original sale thread if you're unsure of features.
