content: Hi!So main thread of the project is here, I will not be double posting out of respect:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/oshw/openservocan-(-for-hobby-standard-size-servos)/I started a fundraiser to get all the materials needed to start developing the whole thing.I can not develop it exclusively on free samples unfortunately and momentarily I am also unemployed.Any help you provide, either with money or with publicity is invaluable. Minimum contribution is 2€, for you maybe a cup of coffee, for me a little bit more faith in this world! :-)If you have any questions or doubts please let me know!Edit 2/11/2020: I removed the fundraising link.Thanks,Lefteris

content: Suppose someone sends $10 - how much of that would you actually get? IOW, how much goes in fees and kickbacks?

content: OK, thanks. Just wanted to know where a contribution would end up - seems pointless if you don't get the vast bulk of it

content: Quote from: dunkemhigh on February 10, 2019, 07:18:03 amThanks for the thought. Good thing is that now I have a day job, so I can support at least half part of the development process (electronics for at least 10 boards).I will need more to buy servos and testing platforms but at least then people will see, I´m not asking for money for just an idea.

content: Thanks a lot mate, I´ll have more news at the end of the month, I need my paycheck first. But with this money I´ll order some ebay servos.See what is able to fit and what not. I just got an MG995 yesterday, unfortunately it´s a no go... too wide.There has to be a v2 of the board, I´ll keep the current to build software and test, I´ll move to v2 much later.Thanks again!Lefteris

content: Hello again!I have never forgotten the campaign but real life happened and now, I will have to recall it.I am already building the V.2 of the board and will update my github with the schematics and boards soon enough!I want to thank everybody that funded it and I will continue to provide content. Only difference is that now I do nothave to e-beg, I will continue on my own. I could not promise that I would have something complete and I can notpromise that now. But, even in my fails I want to be fair.So thank you again a lot for being there, I did not expect anybody to give anything. But from what I understand,two people from this forum did. So thank you and I promise that even late I will continue.Best Regards,Lefteris
