[LogicalMadness]

@Saliciae Who are the lucky 4, if I may ask?

 

[Saliciae]

I'm not going to say, i respect their privacy, if they choose to talk and post about their experiences with the mcfly that's up to them

 

[LogicalMadness]

Now I know I'm not one of them

Good luck to all in this endeavor!

same here :-(
but maybe the files will be released soon

 

[Saliciae]

Files will come eventually, please be patient. i'm not going to put out defective hardware to be copied a thousand times over, i'd never be able to sleep at night haha. Once the testers have got it in hand and can confirm all is well then it will be released for everyone to enjoy

 

[slimhakz]

How will you be releasing?

Will there be a site to buy it from?

Will there be a flex included?

what do you use to edit the pcb?

 

[Kinokoda]

what do you use to edit the pcb?

I think it's EasyEDA

 

[Saliciae]

what do you use to edit the pcb?

It's KiCad. EasyEDA is not good enough for this sort of design
