TinyD team!
When do we get new shields released ? (GPS, WIFI) ?

Can't wait to get some :)

I just got mine in today, so I'm guessing if you have some on order then it should be "soon".

WiFi, GPS, Accelerometer, Motor, MicroSD were all in the group of boards that just came in. I think the Motor and MicroSD have been ready for a while and it was just waiting on the others before being shipped together.

These were ordered through the original Kickstarter campaign last fall. Sorry for the poor picture quality. These are just small enough that my normal camera lens can't focus close enough to them, and just large enough that my macro lens can't get the whole board in view.

I have not yet had a chance to try them out.

Ahh perfect, that's what i need now.

Do you know if i can order those somewhere?

I assumed that they would be available on the store by now. You'll need to check with Ken to find out how to get them if they are being left off the store for now.

These are the only two I have, so no I'm not planning on selling them. I have plans for them :O

Sorry for the delay on getting these up.  As Keith mentions we've been shipping these to Kickstarter backers.  We're in the process of updating the website with more information, for now I've put up the WiFi and GPS pages with new information (and pricing), along with a small amount that people can order now.  After we're complete with the Kickstarter shipments, we'll get more made available for sale.

Thanks,

Ken
