I hope everyone is doing well! After all the dust settled from this project I had to take a step away from Kickstarter to devote my time to our new baby. I did actually manage to make a bit of profit from the project, which I put into converting a milling machine I had into a full CNC setup. I'm hoping to be able to do something with it for another Kickstarter project so keep an eye out. Thanks again to everyone for their support!
I want to pass along a card game that was just launched by some local friends of mine. They have been working for the past year and a half on developing and perfecting their game Galactic Scoundrels. It's a great social game with gambling, bluffing, negotiation, and storytelling, all set in a cinematic sci-fi universe. They have devoted a lot of time to preparing for this Kickstarter to ensure that their product and campaign is as polished as possible and ready for launch. Check it out and consider supporting them to help get their game off the ground!
Thanks!

The last few packages are going in the mail today! Everyone who filled out their survey should already have their shipment, or will receive it in the next few days. If you did not complete the BackerKit survey, please do so. Without your address I can't ship your reward.
This has been quite an adventure, with more complications than I ever could have expected. I want to sincerely thank everyone for your patience and understanding as we worked through all the delays to the original schedule.

News and Shipping Update

Hi everyone,
All of the wave 1 rewards have been shipped! Wave 2 kits began shipping out yesterday and will continue shipping over the next few days. You should receive an email from Backerkit when your order ships.
It will be a few more days before wave 2 assembled units begin to ship. With the various features added during the campaign, it is taking over twice as long for me to build each assembled unit. I did not expect it to have such an impact on the build time, but it makes for a better product so I'm happy to do the extra work. This does mean that my original projection of being able to ship a wave per week is simply impossible. As of right now it appears that it may take 2-3 weeks for each wave. I will keep you updated as waves go out.
Thank you to everyone that has sent their well wishes to me and my family. As I've mentioned in the comments section, my Grandmother has been in the hospital. She is doing well, but she will be going to a nursing home at least for a while.
I've loved reading all the reports that are coming in from the first wave backers! It is great to see the pictures of builds that have been shared in the comments section. Please continue to share your experiences with your Pi3Carts when you receive them, and keep supporting each other and sharing advice.
Thanks again!

The how-to video is ready! It's not perfect, but I know everyone is eager to see how this thing is built. I tried to go into as much detail as possible. I recommend that everyone who is getting a pre-assembled Pi3Cart watch at least the first few minutes as I go over the basics of how to open it up to install your SD card.
