New products have homes in the store! We'll be updating the wiki in the next week with the pertinent information for the new BlackWidow and YellowJacket (BOMs, schematics, detailed diagrams, etc). Below are images of the final production parts. BlackWidow 1.0YellowJacket 1.0 A couple of housekeeping notes: - There's a bug in Virtuemart (our free e-commerce solution) that somehow screws up the display of multiple images. I found a bug issue already reported on the web, so I know I'm not the only one seeing this. :) This is a real annoyance for the YellowJacket, since you need at least two images to see the front and back. Anyway, I hope to update Vituemart to the latest version to see if this issue has been cleared up. Otherwise, I'll think of something else.
- Yes, I know that everything is listed as out of stock at the moment. There is a valid reason for this. The guy that does the testing and final QA, packaging, and shipping (a.k.a ME), will actually be out of town for my normal day job from 8 Feb 2010 to 15 Feb 2010. Obviously, if I'm not here, I can't ship anything out. I will probably "stock" the items later in the week so that people can start purchasing them, and I can ship them all out en masse upon my return to California. We wanted to get the items up in the store so that at least people can sign up to be notified when they are available.
- WiShield status. Yes, we are still working on it. Yes, more are coming. Actually, there's a surprise in store for WiShield. We'll have 2.0 out upon my return back to California, and there will be one major addition to the shield. If this addition proves popular enough, we'll try to migrate it to the other products.
- External antenna versions. One of the most requested hardware features. We are working on this also. No ETA at the moment when they'll be available, but the first product to get an external version will be the WiShield.
