    SqueezeAMP: it's here

    If you have been following the discussions here https://forums.slimdevices.com/showt...ueezeliteESP32 and there https://forums.slimdevices.com/showt...ueezeAMP-boxes, I'm happy to announce that I've received the first batch of 30, so the squeezeAMP is now available.

    It is the 2-cells version, but you can make it a 3 cells if you want by changing 3/4 components.

    If you want one or more, let me know here or at s q u e e z e a m p a t o u t l o o k d o t c o m (for the ones that already sent me a mail, your request is registered). If somebody wants to organize a "hub" in Europe, I can send a batch. The cost is 65USD per unit + shipment, please remember that I'm mot making any margin of any kind here. It's just the cost of PCBWay + shipment/taxes (BTW, PCBWay has done a fantastic job, I highly recommend them).

    There is a version with no connector soldered so that you can integrate it the way you want (all unsoldered connectors are shipped with it) and a version with all connectors mounted.

    With @chill we should be able very soon to have a nice acrylic enclosure, but otherwise you can 3D print yours or fit it inside another device.

    I'm guessing that email should be s q u e e z e a m p a t o u t l o o k d o t c o m (outlook, not outook). Correct? Attempted to PM, but it appears to have been unsuccessful.
    Usually running latest beta LMS nightly on Raspberry Pi OS with virtual players. Occasionally using SB Radio, Boom or Classic.

        SqueezeAMP: it's here

        I have currently requests for ~20 units, mainly in EU so I plan to bring some with me when I'll be there in a few weeks and dispatch them "locally".

        Is there somebody who wants to be a proxy for future requests in EU? I would then bring a larger batch and send them to her/him. No need to pay anything, it will be between the final buyer and me, you would just ship when there is a request.

        That would simply be faster and cheaper than sending from NAM.

              Thanks to you both. Michael reminded me as well that I need to find boxes. I'll look for that in the coming days

                All 30 boards have now been loaded with a recovery firmware made by @sle118. When receiving them and upon powering them up, they will act as WiFi hotspot so you can connect your wireless system, open a browser and from there connect to your WiFi home network and download the full firmware. Should ship soon now!

                  the white edition

                  Just for fun, enjoy the "white" SqueezeAMP limited edition

                  No good for heat dissipation, but fun look I think

                    The Christmas edition :-)

                    Do the LEDs twinkle gently, in 6 pre-programmed sequences?

                      Hi Philippe,

                      Is this a one off production run or do you plan do do more if demand requires it?

                      Cheers

                            Pretty cool, I think.

                            What's the story behind the white edition? - a one off?

                              Yes, just a one off to try. I was also making some tweaks to the boost version around the battery connector (double footprint) so I decided to order a white PCB
