We got a big new batch of Maple rev3 boards in a couple days ago… we got Nintendo style with this batch and have pushed the heck out of the buttons on every board we will ship to make sure they aren’t “sticky”; doves cried tears of sorrow when a few people got finiky boards in the last batch. We also built a head-crab style zombie Maple to test the connectivity of every single GPIO pin:

These boards are on sale in our shop and now also available through our first distributor RobotShop. Check out the awesome Maple graphic they made! If you’re a distributor who would like to stock Maple we’d love to talk to you, especially if you are overseas; hit up our contact form.

I finally wrote up a quickstart for programming the Maple from the Unix command line; this setup makes it easier to track the most recent changes to libmaple and even contribute patches. As a bonus I also got Code::Blocks working as an alternative to the Maple IDE:

We’ll leave you with this kick ass project video from Okie; what kinds of hackery have you been up to with your Maples?
