#DirtCheapHackingTools progress updates

#PoloroidBadge: PCB layout
#LIDARDetector: Breadboard prototyping, given to work
#Glitchy: countless prototypes made, still mired in fw issues, working through it but it sucks at this point so its what im taking a break from by doing these other things lmao
Secret Project: schematic complete
#PayphoneBackpack: minimal version is ready, just waiting to order the resin housing until i have a reason to celebrate
#GlitchyV2: concept phase
#ESP32anza: concept phase
#DirtCheapProbes: first drop all but sold out, gone forever
#DirtCheapProbesV2: design phase nearly complete, will come in larger sets so as to do jtag and such

i am aiming to complete glitchy, poloroidbadge, lidardetector, and secret project within the year, and hope to have the former two available for sale and the former third used as marketing swag by my employer by next summer. the rest... meh, well see. i have other shit to do too, the output of this right now is little more than an hour or two of my days.

ive cleaned up the dungeon and my mind a bit, feeling a tiny bit better, enough to try to help out future me by thinking this through by writing it - whats the haps on nullstring's little projects?

#glitchy is close to complete and ready to start demoing and selling, i should complete that and get it out the door and off the bench and lineup. i should prioritize this. action: complete firmware development and start making demo reels

#DirtCheapProbes are off the bench and up for sale, second drop planned and staged when the first drop finally sells out if ever, no action

#ESP32anza is extremely slow on progress and sometimes feels like it will never come to fruition, pushing this back the farthest for now

the Prison Clear #PayphoneBackpack is still a ways off and even though working on it sounds maybe the most fun, its the least progressed of ongoing projects, pushing back

#FediMMO is at the moment an idea surrounding a very cute and minimal state of a project, competing with the payphone for least progressed, but also currently feels the most exciting, so, keeping this high in the lineup to palette cleanse

#RoamingLoRaPirateCasino is still in pre-prototype concept phase, little to no progress, pushing this to the back as well, no action

#PoloroidBadge still in concept phase, no action

doesnt have a name yet, but a wired dirt cheap RJ-11 home phone adapter for usb-c cellphones - this is a side product resulting from completing the payphone backpack, pushing this back to the same position, no action
