And people still buy them, right? I theoretically could do most of the hardware I bought from you myself. Order the PCBs, do the soldering, etc. but I "did soldering" for living for many years. I don't do this for years now and - frankly - as years pass, I don't even enjoy this anymore. I prefer to use my time to earn some money, which I happily spend on buying working product from someone who has it ready. And I am very glad that there are people who do.

But - out of curiosity - do you sell more assembled, ready to use products or kits?

Kudos to those who do those things. I mean, really.
