I just got a new batch of PCBs in yesterday. Working super stupid hard on my finals right now, so I won't be able to get em together for a few weeks. Hoping to finish them before Christmas. I'll post to chipmusic.org when they're up.
Assembled Arduinoboys are now back in stock.

The assembly process took much longer than expected. It didn't help that the laser cutter I use has been out of commission for the past six weeks.
I've devised a new payment system in which you'll be able to chose between two prices. I do everything I can to keep the cost low without driving myself into the ground. I don't sell through distributors, because their commission would force me to raise the price drastically. Above all, getting chiptune instruments out into the world is my mission.
Kits will be available sometime next week if not sooner. They'll be priced at $55 - Starving Artist and $65 - Patron.
I'll also be posting a Git Hub repository with the schematic, PCB layout, enclosure documentation, and supporting files by the end of the day. Hope this information will be useful.
Post any questions you may have to this thread.
Thanks for the support, everyone.
Ooooo boy those look awesome. I wish I had 92 dollars to spare. Damned student budgets.
Kits are now available...

I've gotten rid of the alternate pricing system.
Also, I've posted all of my documentation to a GitHub repo found here...

Those are the best aboys I've ever seen! Really great work on the parts sourcing and design. Have a picture of one assembled?
