What is the price for that Little FOCer and what comes with it?
I’m about finished with my build and ready to use it.

It says $150 here but it doesn’t look like you can buy it right now

@shaman what’s the status of the little focer currently?

Still waiting on production samples. It’s taking longer than expected. I have to verify quality of these samples before going to bigger batches

The price will be most likely somewhere between $225 and $250. This is due to the chip shortage and increase in cost of chips are that still sourcable. Thankfully there is a performance boost with the v3 hardware that helps get you more out of what you pay.

Can I have the files to make one myself?

Alright. I’m looking to get one to put into a 15s onewheel eventually, so is this the best place to keep track of stock?

For now but another source will pop up too. This other source will be more for state side orders. I’ll let ya’ll know once it’s stocked

I’m finally back to tinkering with my scooter, since school is done kicking my ass. For now at least. Hoping for EU shipping :grin: Definitely picking up the new turbo version once it’s available.

Ups, serious increase… thought it were under $200, thinking that $50 or even less per unit could cover all the shortage/extra chip cost. Bad assumption

I mean, the turbo version has 2x the current and power capability. I might be a little out of touch, but the current situation doesn’t seem very favourable. Everything is getting more expensive.

Yeah i wouldn’t have increased the price unless I had to. But I intend to try and make a living off of this and the other products I’m cranking out. The STM32 alone quadrupled in price if that helps give an idea of the situation. Also the intent is still to deliver a product inside a case/heatsink. So a step up from the basic aluminum I was attaching to the mosfets
