Bitty on the Macrofab Engineering Podcast!
almost 5 years ago – Sun, Jun 16, 2019 at 10:20:57 AM

Wanna hear me talk about the project (and the history of it) and some other funny tangents? Had a lovely podcast chat with Parker Dillman (cofounder of Macrofab!) and Stephen Kraig (who also makes electronic instruments, and turned out we had a friend in common, what a tiny world).

The Kickstarter is over! And I just have to say my heart is full of warmth and gratitude for all the support, and the lovely chats I had with many backers! This has been a really lovely experience and I can't wait to get you your Bitty.

And now to work! Lots of things to do! Gavin (who's been working on the latest hardware design) and I are going to do some rigorous testing of the hardware. I've talked to the manufacturer earlier this week to sort timelines, and everything looks about right. Will keep everyone updated over email!

Just made this dusty beat playing drums with one hand, and chords in the other!
