Yeah OK fair enough. Unsure if I can modify that too much but I can look at it. I guess it comes down to me not having time to do it myself and having an assembly house do it for me.
Hmm I actually am not 100% certain. Seeedstudio didn't really give me a breakdown of cost in large qty's. I dont have the time at present to do an assembly run as workload has picked up, so I thought I would try out their group buy service.
It is for a fully populated board, kicad wouldnt export the 3d models properly when it did a "3d" render.
All you would do is load ESPixelStick firmware (or even wled) and away you go.
Group Buy is now live! We have 30 days to get a minimum of 10 units pre-ordered.

Fingers crossed the group buy go's live today guys.
The only requirement to make it happen is that at least 10 units need to be pre-ordered within the 30-day group buy period.
I was just notified that this groupbuy is going through final approvals with Seeedstudio.
As soon as it goes live I will post the link here for you all.
Update time (finally): I have added reverse polarity protection on the supply input and tested the power supply. I have sent version 0.2 to the groupbuy organizers (Seeedstudio). I will provide a link soon. Pricing is going to be approx 75 to 100 I would say at a guesstimate.
Going to do some rigorous testing of the power supply design this week. Its worth delaying the group buy for as it may simplify the design or result in a more rugged design. ETA for group buy is approx 7 to 10 days whilst I do this.
Admins any idea how I apply to get this approved for the...
Looking at kicking this off using Seeedstudio's Fusion Group Buy program.
Program info can be found here https://www.seeedstudio.com/fusion-marketplace.html
I will try to get this kicked off this week.
How do I get mod/admin approval for this to go into the "Group Buys - current" section?
