if only the individual kits were cheaper... mass production = lower cost per unit... i would LOVE to built a 4x4 kit...

I agree. There needs to be a discount when buying more than 1 or something.

The patterns I saw when the four boards were put together did not fit the rules of Conway's game of life! Perhaps there was a mistake in orientation of the boards? If not, these boards do not meet spec. I would be cautious investing in one of these kits.

hey if you get a single kit, but wire each side to the opposite side, what would happen?

Samurai1200 and Emonroe7, the schematics are in the pdf, feel free to make your own! The source code for the chip is here under gpl: http://www.dropoutdesign.com/sw/life-firmware-0.1.tar.gz
Hey HoustonEuph, I'm curious what you think is wrong. The quad setup has been abused by tsa quite a bit, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a short at the connectors. I'm away from the office for a week to launch a balloon, but when I get back, I'll check.
Hey Frank, I'm curious now too!

Great episode. Especially liked the soundtrack.
Did anyone recognize the tracks? What were their names?
Thanks.
