Hi RetroCode,

I do have plenty of stock left and would bei happy to sell. But of course you can also build the board yourself from the open sourced schematic.

I'll send you a PM in case you are interested in getting the kit.

Best Regards

I'm so sorry to hear about Marcels untimely passing.

Marcel was certainly an inspiration for me and gave me helpful advice for my Pluggy Reloaded project.
May his legacy live on in this community.

My deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.

Sincerely
Paul

Thanks for the info. I'll look into it

Maybe it was just a bad connection with the SD card? That or a cold solder joint would be my guess as well, but I assume you have checked that already. I used to experience some stack overflow issues on the ProMicro where some features, including the SD card stopped working randomly, due to static/...

Awesome! That went surprisingly fast! Regarding the SD card: Make sure the card is formatted with either FAT16 or FAT32. exFAT or anything else doesn't work via the SPI interface. Also make sure all the files are located in the root folder. If that doesn't fix the issue, contact me and I'll see what...

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

Good News! Pluggy Reloaded is back in stock. I have sent out a PM to everyone who has expressed interest. Since I haven't made the price public before: I am selling the kit for €25 + shipping For anyone interested, just PM me. Heads up for those ordering one: The assembly requires some light desolde...
