    Morlock IV boards are going to increase in price.

    Morlock boards are just not profitable to me and never really were. Honestly I only sell like one or two a month and and was going to shut down but I know there are still people who use them on project guns.. I mean I DO sell one or two a month.

    So I'm doing what I have to do and increasing the price by 50% or so. I hate springing that on the hobbyist community so I'll wait a week before the change goes live. Sort of a reverse-sale I know, sorry in advance.

      Your boards rock my friend. The best thing for easily modernizing those vintage electros.

        Curt,

        were you ever able to get around to adding an adjustable time power off delay setting when using a momentary button for power?

        Only other feature is hope for would be a long press/ slow double tap to cycles eyes on/off?

            I show all my current orders have been filled. If yours slipped through the cracks I'm very sorry, please send me an email and I'll consult my records.

              Sucks to hear but I'm glad I happened upon this post when I did. You've got at least one sale this month 😁

              Been meaning to order for a couple years and looking forward to getting my hands on the HW

                I've had issues with boards not saving settings, I have one board that doesn't even turn on. For me they're just too unreliable to put in a marker that I want to keep or actually use. I'd rather just use a clone board or something else. It's too bad these couldn't be made like the original morlock! I still have one and it works great! Get away from the arduino crap and go back to whatever was used for the original morlock, use a multicolor LED, 9v alkaline battery only.

                  Curt? want to get more but unless the momentary has a power off delay it severely limits what i can use these in

                    I can add this, I'm arms-deep in the code right now anyway for the new project. Email me before you buy anything though, so we can make sure we're talking about the same thing

                      I took a hard look and ended up going up about 20%

                        Morlocks have been around since I was a kid! I respect your dedication as well your transparency. I just picked up a mk Iv for my SR framed WGP Relic build. Thank you for what you've done for the community over the years, and what you continue to do for dedicated builders/tinkerers

                            You know what?

                            Get ready for the MK V

                            Yes I have already laid it out, taking into account all the lessons learned from the Saber boards. Most importantly is mass-production infrastructure. The Mark 5 will be significantly cheaper than the mk4 with more features. same size, and single-sided to boot.

                            Importantly I'll offer both a 12-pin header version that is 100% compatible with all existing Morlock installation (so you can drop it right in) or a JST/Molex style connector version that is more compatible with a lot of the connectors out there.

                            I don't know that there is any actual demand for this, and I won't take "pre orders" but if you are interested please email me so I have a feeling for the directions I should go.

                              Curt, have you considered open-sourcing at all?
