Hello Everyone! 
Happy to say our IR SAO has hit Version 1! 

We are working hard to have quite a few ready for Supercon as well! Come say hi if your interested in getting your own IR SAO.

Additionally, if your offering an SAO trade we have some limited edition version available for trade. (They are just different colors but I think they are neat.)

Quite a bit has happened since our last update.
The technical details are: 
- IR LED silkscreen updated (Silly mistake.)
- Pull Up Resistors added to the I2C pins.
- Components and Silkscreen moved to top.
- Jumpers updated to be more functional. 
- Added a ground plane.


Additionally we have sample programs for all the core functions and are working on the stock program to ship the SAOs with while we wait for all our components to come in.

We are working through some supply issues at the moments as well... 
Some of the ATTiny's we ordered turned out to not be ATTiny's. Additionally I ordered a batch of the wrong IR LEDs but... we are getting everything built up slowly and steadily.
