It was said somewhere that it was a module that went into each eye and was controlled by either serial or i2c. Then you just feed the commands to them and they do the command. I think I heard that the modules would be for sale on the site soon. Sorry I couldn't be much help!

That's ok ..... Thanks for the reply techno

It's just I need to place an order today as I know there is a 5-7 week lead time and would rather order everything I need in one go. I didn't want to do two orders as it would mean another lead time again and extra import duties (they charge duty on each delivery charge too !) Plus if I could order the eye controller boards too it would put me into the free postage bracket Hopefully one of the EZ team will be able to answer, failing that I will just go ahead with the order this morning and build them from Atmega chips whilst I wait. Would prefer to buy from EZ though.

We haven't put the LED board up on the store yet. I'm not sure why? Hmmm, ill have to look into that tomorrow! I'm sure someone has a reason

Hey DJ,

Thanks for the reply and thanks for developing such an awesum platform !

If I place my main order today, will you be able to add the controller to my order when it becomes available?

Cheers

Jay

If you use the Contact Us form when the part is listed in the store, Jason will be able to help you with that You can modify or cancel your order any time

Thanks for the kind words Jay!

@DJ Since we are currently talking about modifying or canceling orders I am gonna abuse the transition a bit. I sent a mail with the request to cancel my old order 1-4345, which only included the developer kit a while ago. Meanwhile the order went to step 2. I would really appriciate, if it could get cancelled before the Chinese send it ^^

Did a new order, because I decided to go right for the Revolution JD. Btw. Till when will the preorderphase probably last?

@jayceekeys

"they charge duty on each delivery charge too !"

Wait. What?

I see you are from uk, so we are both from EU. We have the same importing-laws I think. As far as I know, the bigger the price in total the bigger the duty + taxes + packagesize and especially the chance that they get demanded. Because ez-robot sends orders over 200$ for free, I decided to order JD alone and should I decide later that I also want the Roli or/and some parts, I will do a separate order.

Do you have more details? As far as I know the duty + taxes only get calculated in consideration of the price in total + shipping fee. In my case its free up to 27$, than you pay 19% tax up to 205$ and than you pay additional 2,1% duty fee -> 21,1% in total.

The lower the worth and size of the package, the higher are the chances that they will let the package through without demanding the fees.

@stibaer

I saw your email and cancelled your old order! PLus I saw your new order for the Revolution JD! Just in time before pre-order pricing ends in March

@ Jason. Thanks a lot
