I really dig this open source project but I don't need one so I backed it at the name on PCB level.  I think it is cool that you have teamed up with Paradise on rewards too, good people.

A bit of advice from someone who helped run the KADE kickstarter:  KS will lock your ability to edit your page Sunday Dec 8, 3:52pm EST.  Have at least the URL of your after KS site figured out and make your KS page point to where people can get info about your project.  It will be an excellent source of traffic.  If you have any questions about lessons I learned from doing a KS, PM me, I'm happy to share my lessons learned and help however I can.  The fabrication and international shipping on a tight timeline was challenging to say the least.

I changed my pledge from just the board to the Alpha vs. Beta reward level, I can't wait!

Thanks a lot for all your support guys! I have found a local guy to do all the PCB fabrication (the have a brand new SMT pick and place machine and oven!) which will be great because I can actually help with the board assembly to ensure the highest quality! I will be sure to put the website on the page before the project ends. For anyone interested it is www.wolfwareeng.com It is still a work in progress...

I need to find some more ways to promote this project, if anyone has any ideas please let me know!

Bumping this thread because I want to get enough support for us to get some convex RGB Hoku buttons in!

[Jumpman64]

Does the Howler remember the current configuration or does it have to be reloaded after each boot?

[engg100]

There will be a configuration utility that lets you setup the controls to keyboard/mouse/joystick inputs and stores them in EEPROM so they are persistent ever after being powered off.

Hey Everyone,

Less than 2 weeks to go and we are 270% funded! I have added a new video to the project page "LED Show" that shows how the LEDs will work. I just want to thank everyone again for their support!

Thanks,

Josh

This is such a badass project.  And it's being done locally too!  Josh, i'm gonna come to you personally for one of these next summer/fall when i start my next build.

[armi0024]

Just because we like him so much... All people pledging at a level to get the RGB Joysticks will be receiving joysticks with Universal Adapter plates installed

[engg100]

Only 2 days left for this Kickstarter Campaign, thanks a lot to everyone for all your support!

I'm planning to upgrade my arcade with this controller - I currently have servostiks installed, what options do I have to illuminate these?

[armi0024]

I'm pretty sure the Servostick is a JLW based stick, and if it is, we have RGB shafts for JLW's.  I can't guarrantee they will fit because I don't have the servostick shaft dimensions, but I would be willing to make these an available option in place of the full joysticks if it tipped the scale to supporting the kickstarter.  With Josh's approval that is.

If someone sends the dims I can also double check.

[Felsir]

it tipped the scale to supporting the kickstarter.

I'm an early supporter already :-)

Thanks, what dimensions do you need? Diameter of the shaft?
