Nice one Pete! About the usage of the boxes. I often use them as casing for my projects by just cutting out the wanted holes. And indeed, to store components in. My lab here is full with components stored in all kinds of boxes :)

Very interesting Pete thanks! Do you think there will be some more / official guidance around developing your own modules and how to approach this auto addressing functionality and the on board processor requirement side of things that go modules rely on? Many thanks, Andy

Hi Andy

I would think there would be something written up at some point in the next couple months, but I'll leave that answer to Chris, Stefan and the rest :)

Thanks.

Good idea for using them for project boxes. I hadn't considered that :)

I have regular storage drawers I use for anything that I need "real" storage for.

As it turns out, kit buys won't get all those boxes anyway, which is very good. I love the blue boxes, but they can be wasteful, and I know Chris is trying hard to be environmentally friendly.

Let me take this one ;) Yes, more documentation will be available soon, including some project templates for the chips on the module side as well.

Cool I will wait for some more comments... What would be cool though.... Pre made schematic and pc files for the basic module fundamentals so you can take an STM8 or STM32 base schematic (to save time and to get a standardised circuit for all modules to interface with the Go) that way you can then build your own modules on top. Perhaps also some fritzings as well. Maker boards with the STM8 and STM32 architecture on as standard? Perhaps additionally a surface mount and through hole micro board that can be used to add the interface capabilities to prototypes in a "drop-in" format or simpily for ease if you are making a one off. So many possibilities! Although my nearly complete aquarium controller may need revising completely in order take adavantage of this added functionality and speed. Andy
