Thanks Moo,
well that must have been a big quarter in the picture i was looking at. 19mm x 31mm , not a snowballs chance. an't happening, not without making the BB quite a bit bigger... and if i ever get to making any body size changes it will be smaller, not bigger. I watched the video of that board in action, cool stuff for sure.. It is definitely something to think about for the future,,, but these boards are still a little too big. The DNA12 (older one) looks like it has the best potential for integration into the BB from what i can see, and that would be cool as it interfaces with a pot, so the dial inside the BB could still be implemented (perhaps).... But of course i have to add, i am quite happy with my circuit, it's simple... i like simple, simple is reliable, simple can be fixed, and simple is easy to modify, that's worth a lot.

The thing I like about the Nivel and dna is that they can work off of ONE 18650 instead of 2 batts. That's where the simpler is better works for me!

Love the way the Billet looks though - great job!

You might want to rethink that. Being an expert in 木目金, that close up clearly shows what could be a rare and deadly flaw in the burl pattern. I strongly suggest that you send it to me immediately.

As a safety measure.

For the public good.

Think of the children.

I'll PM my address to you. . . .

Trip report.

I can attest to the BB's durability today. As I was walking down some steps outside of work and playing around with my phone, with my BB in my other hand. I was not paying attention and I missed the last step. So down I went. My phone slid across the concrete, and while the BB didn't leave my hand. I did smash the bottom of my BB down though to prevent unwanted tooth loss. Amazingly, there was hardly any new scratches. Just one small scuff on the bottom corner. A little too deep to buff out, but man, held up like a champ.

The only thing broken was my pride since a whole bunch of people happened to watch me fall. First to my knees, then to my hands and finally my forehead as it smacked onto the sidewalk.

Like DD said, things built like a champ. But what an idiot I am. It's like those youtube videos where the girl is texting on her phone and walks into a mall fountain. At least there wasn't a fountain.

Why the government has not passed laws to protect us from such devices is beyond me!
 
Hey, Mr Doug Dino

I know your busy making all our lovely pre orders :D But I do so enjoy your photographic birthing updates. More please!

For those of us who live outside of the USA who pre ordered the full kit, will a US quarter be included? It is the official tank tool of the BB afterall. Also, a mains plug adaptor would be very well received too...
