Randy I have ordered one for myself already thanks.
Jon,
Just sent you the $$ for 2x servo sets…
Thanks for doing this…
Randy,
If you order them put me down for 3…
Bob
Jon thanks! I’m in. Will send you payment right after I post this.
Sent just now.
I guess my message got lost in the noise. I already ordered the 20
thumbwheel pots from sparkfun, the order shows as shipped, I’m a bit
surprised that they haven’t arrived yet, probably stuck in the Christmas
gong show.

cool, didn’t catch that you had ordered them - I’ll give you the money out of the collection?
sounds good.
Email transfer sent to @jon https://talk.vanhack.ca/users/jon.
Randy, please order two (2) Arduinos if you haven’t done so already.
Anyone else ordering components and needing payment in this thread that
I’ve overlooked? 
Is it possible to still get in on this? Looks like there are multiple streams of parts to order/pay for.
@johnbiehler: I’m not clear on if all 20 PCBs/pots are yet claimed - they’re what’s been ordered so far.
@RandyNW: I’d also appreciate if you’d throw in an arduino on the order for me. (happy to pay up front if neccessary?)
I’ve got a few transfers from people that I’ll be confirming tonight. I’m sending a PM as I process them, so if you haven’t got one from me within a few days of sending the money, let me know!
I think I’m going to extend the servo order date to Wednesday the 7th of January, as I suspect a lot of people are out of routine this week due to the holidays.
I think there are 6 pcb’s left to claim from the 20, the pots will have the same count. Arduino’s I will wait until after the weekend, and I’ll sum up the list of whose getting what by the weekend. Some people already have them, if anyone else already has an Arduino let me know. What I’ve ordered is cheap, so no worry about paying in advance.
@jon maybe you also want to post a list before you order to make sure we’ve got everybody?
I’m hoping to use my homemade Makey Makey in full Arduino mode to run the Piccolo. If that doesn’t work out I’ll need to pick up an Arduino.
I have the other parts from the Digikey order. The switches were 46c (need 2), the caps were 24c (need 3) and the 2mm header 0.14c. I have tons of 0.1" headers so will throw in the servo connectors free.
was 0.46+0.243+0.14=1.321.12=1.47 (so $1.50 each).
is 20.46+0.243+0.14= 1.99 (so $2 each).
Please look at the assembly instructions, they want you to solder the micro directly to the pcb, don’t put headers on your micro Piccolo Assembly Instructions · DiatomStudio/Piccolo Wiki · GitHub

First round of pcbs are in, they look good.
This thread is getting confusing.
I think we need one person to organize this and a few people to help with the build nights.
I will help with the laser cut parts and I can organize the materials for that
From the sounds of it @TomKeddie has ordered and received the PCB boards, and is also willing to run the electronics build night. And @jon is buying the servos.
Can we pay @jon for everything including the eletronics and PCB and laser cut materials. Then he can order the servos and give the appropriate cash to @TomKeddie for the PCB boards and electronics? I would much rather pay one person and for everything then to track down multiple people.
Also @jon You might want to consider using event bright for collecting money for these kind of workshops. (The user can pays the eventbright fees)
Actually I think we’re pretty organized, it’s probably good to summarize where we’re at.
We have 20 pcb’s ordered. So far I count 16 spoken for, they are:
One each for @tomkeddie @wander @3bien @lukecyca @jarrett @mkobie @jon_slaco @Janet @sIGNgUY @johnbiehler @jon @funvill and 2 each for @packetbob @RandyNW
Servo’s are being ordered by @jon
Most of the small electronics parts have been ordered by @TomKeddie , thumbwheels by @3bien - these were ordered sufficient to make 20 sets.
I’m going to order Arduino Pro Micro’s from AliExpress. The list I have is:
One each for @3bien @lukecyca @jarrett @mkobie @jon_slaco @sIGNgUY @jon @funvill @johnbiehler , @Janet is maybe
2 each for @RandyNW @wander and 3 for @packetbob
If people could let me know about the Arduino’s, if my list is incorrect (ie maybe you have one, or plan to interface the Piccolo differently). I’ll order them mid-week, they should get here in 2-3 weeks.
The next big piece is the laser cut and materials. I have some questions about that but I’ll save that for later, we probably won’t be doing that for a while.
