We are currently testing our Sewpads. They come in several generic castellation sizes and some custom to specific Flex Modules. We may be adding them as options to all our Flex Modules on Tindie.
First sales
We are getting our first Flex Module sales through Tindie. We will be making the boards as fast as possible. Thanks!
More updates on Hackaday
We have been putting up a significant amount of updates on our development progress and process on Hackaday. Please feel free to join up and follow us there to learn how our design is evolving. We are looking for feed back and contributors.
Eventually I'll be adding demo projects for Flex Modules as well as turning some of the posts here into more formal how-tos on Hackaday.

Flex Modules
Hi, we have opened up development of our Flex Module hardware through Hackaday and GitHub.
Vagrant Setup
I am a big fan of operations or the science of doing things right in a script once, then forgetting how its done till something brakes.
I had been utilizing Vagrant and Chef for prior projects, now I get to setup my Mac for local development. As with the majority of web developers, I do build toward Linux. Your choice is usually Centos or Ubuntu Linux servers. The first thing anyone does to setup Centos is to turn off SELinux, which then makes it less secure than Ubuntu on top of its weaker package management system, slower updates, and less maintained packages. So I tend to just use Ubuntu like a sane person. I implemented the LXC containers as mentioned here.
This is a nice concept, though I do have a full Linux desktop in the container VM for now. Homebrew isn't bad, but it is lacking packages and Mac Ports is just not maintained well. Installing open source development and CAD tools has been quite iffy on the Mac. I used to maintain a source based Linux, so I sympathize. However, as a user I'll stick to something more usable even if in a VM. I plan to keep most of my dev tools in Mac if I can, but I definitely have options this way.
Anyway, I'll be slowly rolling out a 'new' Continuous Integration(CI) system for our team. Vagrant is an amazing way to have a consistent base OS/platform across the entire release process. Developers, testers, even production can be using 'exactly' the same environment. Vagrant creates VM environment copies easily based on configuration files. Veewee can make base VMs automatically. Then you write scripts to add packages and set system configuration as necessary. You can then create and tear down VMs as needed to test code on. Most importantly, those config files can be deployed themselves and code loaded and automatically tested on them. There are many articles on Vagrant configuration that I'll have to reference and discuss further. Possibly in a discussion with chef for deployments. (Chef works well, but there is no perfect deployment system and many shops use multiple systems together.) Vagrant is under rapid development and I am not sure how long a discussion or links to tutorials would be valid recommended practices.
Jenkins CI is a great system to run testing and manage build reports. It does take lots of customization and is another discussion on its own.
Switching over to ARM completely
Just a note that even up to now I was hopeful that we could utilize the CC2541 from TI. However, there is no 100% workaround to IAR Workbench. It costs too much, but TI provides no other tools that we can use to use their BLE libraries against our own code. So we will be switching to the Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822. It appears to have an open tool chain. We will work to keep all tool chains for embedded components open.
Initial concept
Cindy and I(Chris) have been discussing wearable ideas for awhile now. Almost a year. We think we have some decent concepts we think people will be interested in. Electronic Dance Music concert attendees tend to wear unique and outrageous costumes. We feel that we can simplify the effort to light outfits. We will be producing fashion as well as components to let customers make their own custom designs.
