Web Shop is live!

In case you missed it, the Web Shop is now live!

The first product in the web shop is the OpenFAN controller that so many of you have asked for. And more products are on the way!

Through the web shop you will be able to order some of the popular projects that I have worked on.

Q: What is the purpose of the web shop?

Over the years people have asked many times “Where can I buy this” or “Can you make one for me”.

So I have decided to run (small) batches of these boards and offer them for purchase through the web shop.

Please feel free to comment on what products you would like to see in the shop next.

Q: What does this mean for my open-source open-hardware projects?

Great question! And don’t worry. All of my projects will remain open-source, open-hardware and also I will continue to release my future projects as open-source, open-hardware. So things will stay the same.

The idea is that the web shop will server two purposes:

First, it will allow people to get a exact same, fully populated board that they see in my videos.

Second, it will allow people to show support my work.

Q: Why is _X_ priced like that. Is it maybe a bit high?

Right now most of the boards are produced in very small batches. I am hoping that this will change in the future. But for now this means that there is no volume pricing from the manufacturer or the board shop. And also the NRE (Non-recurring engineering) cost that the board shop charges for each build is amortized over a small number of boards. And of course there is shipping, taxes…

I am hoping that in the future I will be able to offer all of my projects at a reasonable prices.

    Love your projects!
    Can we get the Plant sensor boards ready to use from the shop in the future?

    Hello Sasa.
    When can we expect to be able to purchase the parts for your HousePlantMonitoringSystem project in the shop?
    Would you also ship the parts to Germany?
    Regards Karl

      Hey Karl!
      Shipping to Germany is already setup for all items in the shop.
      I have a new revision of the HousePlant Monitoring System on my to-do list. It would make it more robust and easier to use/setup.
      If there is some interest I can make a batch of boards and add them to the shop. 🙂

        Hi Sasa.
        Yes, I am very interested in the boards. It would be nice if I could order them from the shop.
        I liked your project from the beginning and I would like to set it up for my balcony.

        Best regards
        Karl

        Hi Sasa.
        I would be very interested in the boards.
        You wrote that you would rework the system. I could imagine combining the functions of the two different boards, which control the pump via I2C and query the humidity sensor, into one board. That would significantly reduce the installation effort. I am excited to see what your revision looks like.

        Best Regards
        Karl
