LoFive

If you haven't heard the LoFive group buy at groupgets.com was successfully funded!

We have over 250 units on order.

Thanks for all of the support and I can't wait to see all of the LoFive based projects.

For anyone that missed this first round, we are looking into making these boards available on the GroupGets store with more shipping options. Check back for information after the first round of boards go out.

Decided to post a group buy campaign to release a few of these out into the wild:

Get them while they are hot.

Tonight I assembled the first article of the LoFive.

Here are a few pictures of the process.

Next up JTAG and software tests.

Hmmmm .. now how do I put the bootloader on there...

So the first panels of the PCB arrived today courtesy of @oshpark.

The rest of the components are on the way for assembly next week.

Assembly begins soon.
