As to 5200 controllers: what about this? Will it be produced in larger numbers to be ordered?

That's the controller that I and my friend @MakerMatrix built and sold for about 3 months this past winter. While we sold a good number of them and had a great deal of community support, the fact is the design requires a lot of hand-soldering and assembly and it just became too onerous to continue after the big holiday season crush that took care of our backorder list and the next few dozen. If folks missed out, we're very sorry. We may resume production in the future but we are nowhere near ready to announce anything or discuss it at this point.

 

But thank you for your interest.

 

 

How about offering it as a fully do it yourself assembly kit?
Or
just provide the housing and a BoM of what to buy and where?

I'd be interested in that.

Boards can be purchased directly from Scott, and he also has the BOM and schematic in his personal website. My friend @MakerMatrix has case + button packages available through both his website (www.maker-matrix.com) and his eBay store.
