PCB's are finally on their way for this :)

I am still trying to find a better company for printing stickers... So far, its "we can print any size sticker"... Can you print 12mm square ? ... nope... :roll:

Started building up a small batch myself, as it is likely going to be a few weeks before these get sent off and back from the assembly company...

Nooooo - my OCD has kicked in with the one in the bottom row in the opposite orientation than the others.

Must not give in to the urge to fix it... :zombie:

Better start saving up for one of these as well... :roll:

So my first batch of carts has arrived. I will give them a test out just to make sure they all work, then they will be heading to my store.
