The Final Module for the chatFabric Device

Well, at least the final testing concept board for this yet-to-be-name product line, again made right here in Silicon Valley, CA at RushPCB. This is a ESP-12e/ESP8266 carrier board, with some of the external logic to glue everything together. Most of parts I’ve been able to source from Arrow Electronics. They have free shipping on everything right now – no promo code needed.

So the project continues with my 4th PCB, but my first PCB from RushPCB right here in Silicon Valley, CA.

I gained a few twitter followers from hobbyist to VCs to Tech Writers from the ESP8266 Community, Arrow Electronics, and RushPCB re-tweeting my Tweet when I got the board in, so I thought I’d write a bit long description and better pictures. But also being a bit egotistical, I thought I’d try to strike while the iron is hot … and see if there is enough interest in these. If so, I’d do a small run and sell them. (Unfortunately, in small qualities, it would likely be in the $8-10 range. I’d need to sell at least 1,000 to get that price down. The Songle board can be found for about $3. ) This small board is part of a whole IoT home automation platform and ecosystem of devices I’m working on, which hopefully will launch a few of them via crowdsourcing later this year.
