(NegEleven): Sounds like you're doing it right. Get some capacitors for your LEDs and they won't die. If they don't burn out right away, they likely wont for a long while. Overloaded LEDs pop right away and the ones that are on the edge tend to get all weirdly bright/muddy.
UPDATE 9/5/12:
Well, the digital detonator is done. Complete and ready to order from the printer.
We are in the last days and we've made some decisions on how this is going to go.
Once the Kickstarter goes live, i will not be shipping any detonators until the ship-date, which will be close to December 25th. Yep, close to the winter holidays. I repeat. No detonators once the Kickstarter gets rolling, assuming it does fund.
This is a good thing in several ways. It means you can plan for your X-Mas/Festivus/Or other holiday and expect a delivery for the holidays when gift-giving is common.
The expected ship date is pretty far because we expect this to a be a large amount of requested items and detonators so if there are less, we'll ship as soon as we can. With so many casting, it will take us a while too.
Also, we have a LOT of cool things planned for the Kickstarter, including a Keychain/mirror ornament. Have a look at what i sent to the printer tonight. I also ordered a sample:
We're planning t-shirts and stickers and if things go well... we have a Challenge Coin as a possibility which is looking very very cool. Another thing we might do: Gold Plated detonator keychains... but don't hold me to it just yet.
WHEN IS THIS GONNA HAPPEN RACHEL!?
Our master-plan is.... in 3 days! 9/8/12. Save the date!
So....
Being as how i will not be shipping ANY detonators until December when the Kickstarter gets going, I'm going to do ONE LAST RUN for those who want a detonator a little sooner. I'm not laying a limit on this run... but at some point I may say "STOP!". I'd guess they'll happen about 12-15 but I'm not too concerned about that.
So, if you want a detonator, look for my next post (as in the one I post after this one, as in, click my name and check my statistics, as in statistics are cool!)
