Would be nice if you sold them to us old people at a 2x cost so we can get one and pay for one for a teen



I second this but mostly because I'm an unrepentant nerd who REALLY wants one of these to show off at my tech workshops for kids :D


Yeah, being able to access even one to give hands-on could be pretty valuable.


It appears the project hasn't optimized for production (yet?). For now, I can't help but think it may be possible to cobble together a Sprig using inexpensive Pi Pico HATs and 3D printing. Here's the schematic:

Yeah, I'm sure it could. But even being able to buy a fabbed board (it's all through-hole components) would move things along. And I find the non-optimization pretty endearing, since it enhances the approachability and ability to understand the whole system.


Yeah that would solve a kinda chicken and egg issue.
