Hi All,

It's been a busy summer, with the latest shipment of BlackIce boards selling well.

Sales have been vigorous so far, with already 180 boards sold from a batch of 200.

This means that we have only 20 boards left in stock, but are about to order a further batch of 240 to meet demand. These will not arrive until November - so if you want a board - please contact me directly at ken dot boak at gmail dot com

For Customers in UK £40 + £2 postage
For Customers in EU 45 Euros + 4 Euros shipping
For Customers in US/Worldwide $52.50 + $7.00 shipping

We can offer a fully tracked shipping service for $10 more.

Payment is currently only via PayPal - but we are looking at Tindie for future sales.

regards

Ken

Ken, How do I order this from you ?

[ken.boak]

Hi All,

Can I just say that the response for BlackIce boards has exceeded all expectations and that we are down to our last 5 pieces.

We have brought forward the manufacturing of the next batch to the middle of October - so there will be fresh stock available in November.

If you are not successful in getting a board this time around, thank you for your patience in waiting for the next batch.

regards

Ken

Hi Ken,

I received my board in good order. Thanks! Haven't had time to use it yet, but if all goes well, tonight I'll have my first led blinking 'Hello world!'.

Cheers!

Hi,

I'm glad to hear that you have received your BlackIce board - we haven't lost too many in the post. ; )

The BlackIce tutorials on Gitlab are a good starting point - but then we have a choice of retro-computers, vintage EDSAC, Forth J1 or Arduino themes.

Well. Didn't quite make the led blink yesterday. But this morning, just between breakfast and going to work, a led was blinkend.

Ok, I just followed the 'get started' and uploaded something I didn't make myself, but it's a start.

There was an issue in the Makefile of the led blinker. There's a command 'stty -F [blahblah]', which should be 'make -f [blahblah]': Lowercase f. In one place it's wrong, in the other it's correct.

Edit:

Oh wait, I see now. The makefile is probably ok, it's probably 'make -F' on Linux. But in the Guide, the command for Mac OSX is given as:

make SERIAL=/dev/cu.usbmodem1421 upload-linux

While it should be:

make SERIAL=/dev/cu.usbmodem1421 upload-mac

Hi All,

The next batch of BlackIce boards have been manufactured over the last few days in Shenzhen, and should be in the UK sometime next week.

I am currently in Spain but will start to dispatch boards towards the end of next week - Friday 8th.

Ken

Can I put myself down to buy one please?

thanks for the heads up

have a nice time in Spain

Hi Ken,

Are there any changes to the board in this batch?

I know there was talk of wiring up RTS/CTS on the serial and swapping some lines to avoid the PLL/SRAM issue?

Cheers,

Would love to try and get my hands on a board from this latest batch too if at all possible??
