We’ve just launched a Kickstarter campaign for the BrickPi! We’ve had a phenomenal response, surpassing our funding goal by over 800% in just a few days.
The BrickPi is a culmination of some of the blog posts and projects we’ve done over the last few months controlling LEGOs with the Raspberry Pi. So many people were interested, we decided to combine it all into one single board that allowed you to control motors and read sensors with the Raspberry Pi.
Even though the campaign is fully funded, please take a look and give us your thoughts! The primary reason we wanted to do a Kickstarter campaign for this project was to try to get community feedback.
Check out the project and let us know what you think about it. We have a bunch of new video and pictures up on the Kickstarter page that showcase some of the projects you can build with the BrickPi.
And if you’d like to back the project, that’s awesome too!
This month we’re going to try something new. We recently set up an Endicia account, that lets us ship small packages at a very inexpensive rate. We want to give it a test run to make sure that, first and foremost, we’re not sacrificing service to our customers. To do that, we’re offering free domestic (US) shipping for orders of any size within the continental US for all of May.
