At this point, nearly everything is complete - boards are packed and ready to go, and all that's left for class kits is to pack the bundles with the new Tigard and Bitmagic boards. I'd love to get them all out to you (and reclaim some space in my office) but we're currently waiting on getting product info registered in Mouser's systems so they can properly receive - and then ship out - all of the Tigards, Bitmagics, and Class Kits.

Tigard was designed first and foremost as a tool to enable our training. By extension, it's well suited to plenty of real-world uses as well, which is why we opted for this CrowdSupply campaign as well. Whether you're pledging $39 or $1337, I think you deserve decent documentation and some tutorials on how to use Tigard. This week, I'll start by explaining a little bit of my training philosophy, then I'll outline what will be available for training and documentation, and finally, I'll wrap up with a bit about the economics of running a training business.

I've used FTDI-based I/O boards for years, but have never found the one that fit my uses *just right*. In that time, I've fine-tuned my wish list and shared it many times, but it never magically appeared. Read the full update.
