Just my two cents,

Hi John,
my apology to you (and anybody else) for being impatient. Yes, this is exciting product and I'd like to have it in my hands to start testing.
The whole post was triggered by miss communication about delay of yet another module (5mpx camera). Tllim already corrected that and there won't be delay that long. In the meantime will focus on python programming and HW components (1602 and 2004 displays, i2C modules for displays, step and servo motors, temperature and humidity sensors, rs232 module) which already arrived. And I also promise to avoid another emotional posts.
BR,
Peter
My issue with this is that communications from top down is not occurring. I find out here that the Z-Wave module has become a delay but only after I asked. I see that only by asking have we found delays with the camera, the box, and z-wave. My wish is that we could have someone at backerkit or support know this in advance and give us, those affected, with the option of waiting for a single shipment, canceling our affected add-ons, or separate shipments.
I have my credit card charged already. That means I have a reasonable expectation of goods to be received. (I'm not talking about the initial credit card charge of Kickstarter which carries its own terms of service risks.) There is no statement of risk on Backerkit.
It could mean that I still could contact Visa, have them reverse the charge from backerkit and and still get my initial March Pine order since Visa has nulled the contract for the z-wave and temperature module?
I know the Pine team is essentially a hardware/software development team but they are a business now.
