Feedback for Obi_1

This guy makes the "DIYino", an Arduino-compatible programmable prop board. Easy payment via PayPal and my part arrived about a week later. 5/5

I own one of those card too.
This is a good litlle device.

It has a good motion detector (gyroscope+accelerometer), a soundcard (micro SDCard driven, up to 3W speaker) and can be used for RGB Led (like Luxeon), ledstrings (the standard 6 strings) or pixel kind of leds (like neopixels). It can also drive some accent leds, and rumble motors.

It is fully programmable: you can make almost what you want with this.
If you've no programmer knowledge, you can still use some premade opensource software that already have all the iconic functions we all like

Shipment is fast (less than a week too)

I also took part of the first run of the DIYino board. I highly recommend it to all of you. The payment was with PayPal, and the board was delivered very quickly (with shipment from Germany to Spain). Obi_1 (Andras) is very helpful to solve my particular doubts. I have limited knowledge in electronics and also in programming and the DIYino board, with open source software (LSOS – thanks Neskweek!), is a perfect solution. (5/5)

Andras is just the best guy. He sold me one of his boards plus another board he wasn't going to be using and he sent them very fast I couldn't be happier. Have not tried the DIYino board yet but I am very excited for that time,

5/5

So far I've bought a total of 7 DIYinos from Andras.

I'm extremely happy with the boards - they save so much hassle compared to home brew Arduino setups. The DIYino is a board that continues functioning with anything up to pretty substantial physical damage, they're tough in general making them ideal for full contact sparring setups, and the boards are pretty straight forward to troubleshoot and repair once you get a little experience dealing with setting up Arduino related systems.

I'm also going to note that Andras has provided awesome post-purchase support, from providing an update to shipping to troubleshooting problems with the boards. Despite the best efforts of my clumsiness to brick a couple of the boards, a quick PM back and forth with Andras got the boards back and running.

Definitely will be buying more boards from him in the future.

Andras is the absolute greatest... I just received my parcels which contained 5 DIYinos and a couple special gifts he included for me. Obi1 is one of the greatest saber heroes in the galaxy and that includes the Unknown Regions as well.

5/5
