Bad news everyone - my supplier is having some unexpected delays sourcing some parts for the boards. Updated estimate is now late February.
If I'm lucky and they manage to send the boards before Chinese New Year, I will get them mid February. Will keep you updated as this progresses.

no problem pal, as long as you keep us informed, it's all good 
Great, now I need to buy Tatacon 
How long will you sell these? Should I buy one now because it will be my only chance? Cause I won't be able to afford a Tatacon for quite a while.

I will sell these for as long as possible! If I disappear/get abducted by aliens/die, anyone with enough funds can make batches themselves from the files on GitHubhiandbye wrote:

There will be supply delays early on as I work out what the demand is like, but these should be alleviated by the second or third batch
hey its me again i was just wondering if you got them in again. its been a while since i have talked to you so i just wanted to check up on their status

Still waiting on them to ship. Chinese New Year slowed things down somewhat, combined with the extended delay in sourcing parts.AnimeGod2205 wrote:

Ahh this is the converter of my dreams. 100% Confirmed for one once they get in!

Great news! They've finally shipped to me! Expect them to be here in 2 weeks

Still waiting for the parcel, but while I wait, I got hard numbers on latency.
Using my scope, I had 1 probe connected to a piezo mic, and another to the LED of the converter. This LED updates at 1KHz, the same rate as the USB update rate.
I then smacked the drum 50 times, and recorded the delay between the moment the piezo started to respond, and when the converter registered a hit. An example measurement:
After 50 hits, here are the results:
Average: 1.802ms
Median: 1.77ms
Std Deviation: 0.44454517
Min: 1.1ms
Max: 2.78ms
Rounding the max value up, I can confidently say that there is an absolute worst case 3ms lag. And average lag of 1.8ms. This is imperceptible. Lagfree = confirmed!

I've been prototyping a case.
This is an early prototype so the case doesn't fit properly and looks bad, but would there be interest? It would be 3-5 USD delivered, or cheaper if bundled with the converter. The source is also open so if you own a 3D printer you can make it yourself.

I'd like a case when I buy one yeah, would be nice.
I'm happy that I was able to help you and give you the thought of doing cases for them. Given any thought to making them in different colors?

I'll see if I can do colour choice. No confirmation yet.

Can't wait till I can get my hands on this. Got a taiko game for Wii for Christmas two years back and couldn't play it since the game is region locked.

Will you ship it to Brazil when it's available?

I hear that in Brazil post can take a very long time. I will ship there, but can make the package Registered if you require the additional guarantee.afureru wrote:

This looks SO amazing! I'd love to use this for Taikojiro, actually. Would it only work with Osu?
//also if possible could I be emailed when they arrive? I don't wanna miss them or anything :3

The converter pretends to be a keyboard - as long as the keys are set to the same ones you use in Taikojiro, it will work fine. I will release the configuration app when I start shipping converters.
If you subscribe to this thread you will get an email when someone posts. I will post as soon as they arrive! I expect them here by Friday - fingers crossed

I just recently got a tatacon and when I Bluetooth connected it to my PC, it worked on osu but I had to hit ACTUAL SMASHING strength to get just one hit and I think it's the problem with the wii so I am really looking forward to this. I also admire you on how you have been working on this for a year!!
So when do you think the final product will be ready and ready to ship, I really need this!

I know right!? I have heard that putting a towel or cloth over it helps. I don't really understand how, but I tried it and it helps a little so you don't have to use the force that you would use to cut the branch off of a tree with an ax XD.

While you're at it, the Chrome web app is now public. You will need it to configure buttons, LEDs, debouncing, and for future firmware updates.

- The cases aren't ready yet. If you purchase now you won't get a case.
I underestimated some costs and the price had to be raised to $25. Shipping is still free!

Ahhhh, yissss! I been creeping on this thread for ages! My order has been made!
heck, i've only got 20$ :// next time for sure! ^^
Ordered mine, looking forward to it!
I'll pass on this first batch actually because I can't use it right now, but I'm looking forward to see footage of people playing and using one, that would be pretty cool!
Ill be waiting for the cases to come out so when will that be, and also how much stock do you have because I surely wouldn't want it to run out and I won't be able to buy it!

I have 12 left. If I run out, I will simply order moreFluffyHuggie wrote:

Cases.... fortnight? I don't have a 3D printer so there's a lot of shuffling getting other people to print them for me.
Alright then I'll be waiting to order it when you announce the cases thanks!montymintypie wrote:

I also was insterested on your case, but I'm afraid you run out of converters by the time you get them ready...FluffyHuggie wrote:

Would you make your 3D models available for people printing their own cases? In that case, I think I could ask a friend of mine to print it for me
Topic Starter
Absolutely! The unfinished cases are in .scad format in the Github repo. When they are finished, I'll also release .stl files which any 3D printer supports!afureru wrote:
