Got some amazing responses to the post on HN, held the 1st pos for an hour +, got over 200 ups, that’s quite enough =) I guess I’m coming close to an end on this project, and my target would be to try and have a presentable project before Year 2. The five key milestones:

1. Outreach: I have sold 10 kits so far, have ordered 5 sets more to a CN PCBA. Will sell those - and let people choose what they want when they’ll want to play with those. I guess I’ll have the community Milestone reached when someone provide a significant improvement / publishes thanks to this kit. Status: 50%. Bonus point if a unreached continent so far is involved.
2. ENDOFYEAR: 15 kits sold, CN not good, MF ongoing (20171217)
3. Money: thanks to the small margin on kits, and hackaday prizes, i’m quite cash neutral as of today. Having the 5 kits sold would permit financing the acquisition of the unmantled CN probe. Status: 100% Bonus: trade the chinese probe on leboncoin / ebay. Status: 0%
4. ENDOFYEAR: still waiting (20171217)
5. Product: I wanted to have a ultrasound hat done. I now have this ADC pHAT done, which can be perfected, but it’s quite a win, so a simple 80V monopolar ultrasound board (independant from the motor / multiplexer) could be reached by Nov. Status: 0% Update: could be good to use the probe head to do a full portable probe =)
6. ENDOFYEAR: Ongoing with Matty (20171217)
7. Documentation: There are a couple of notes here, I’d love to see all of those gathered / processed / put into a braindump. Gitbook is good enough, but lack structure for raw knowledge dump. TODOS include:
8. Listing all docs under YYYYMMDD
9. ENDOFYEAR: Quite happy, having added experiments (20171217)
10. Future I’d be keen on having a 8 to 16 elements module prepared, just so to prepare the next gen and passing over of the project. Jan and Ivan to support. Status: 0% Muxing using ATTINY85 ?
11. ENDOFYEAR: Shifting to chaotic masks ;) (20171217)

Nice to have:

• A slack bot? It would be fun to have a supporting bot to answer queries, like “where are the elements benchmarked, how do you process dicom, …”
