Kansas City, Here I come


I have officially been accepted as a vendor at the Kansas City Maker Faire! Do not know where my booth will be, hopefully in the main hall but in any case this is great news and a major step for this startup!

Now I just have to get the crowdfunding campaign going, and complete and edit the Arduino programming book to accompany it. I plan on having a limited number of boards on hand (small batch I made hand-soldering them) and hopefully some hard copies of the book as well. 

In addition, I will have some hands-on demonstrations, including showing how this is a better learning system than breadboarding everything.

Hopefully I will see some readers there!

Frustrating day!

I took time off from my day job yesterday and today to get some work done on my circuit board project. Of course, today my web hosting provider has been having some major issues - email is non-existent and the site is inaccessible. I was expecting some replies to some request for quotes on my circuit board, but everything sent to the landonenterprises.com email is getting bounced.

What I have succeeded in getting done was getting request for quotes out (which I may have to try again) and getting a major start on the illustrations needed for my training book. Also, I have applied for a booth at the Kansas City Maker Faire. Have not gotten a confirmation yet, but I have done my part.

Here is what I hope to have at the Maker Faire (providing they accept my application). In addition to providing information on my trainer board, I plan to have a hands-on showing about how much simpler it is to use my board over a breadboard, a way to get people signed up for my crowdfunding campaign, and a very limited supply of boards and books.

And right now I need to get back to work on getting those tings accomplished.
