If you didn't get a Peek at this point, sorry. We have shipped all we have.

Our warehouse is going to ship casepacks around March 5th --> sorry for the wait folks

Charging cable is just ANY microUSB cable. Will charge

Data is not. The plug on the side is your only data path in, but the board listens to it as a serial port. So the 'special' Peek cable is really any cable that converts usb to serial over the wire.

Data interface is USB on PC to RS-232 Serial on Peek
Connector interface is USB on PC to MicroUSB on Peek

 It's not just a wire because it needs the circuitry to convert the protocol from USB to RS-232.

You can find then online.

here is software package #1

http://sharing.getpeek.com/chipset.zip

this is for the chipset's core tools

Just up the weight on your shipping label to 20 lbs and the from address should be Peek/Blockbuster Warehouse, 3000 Redbud Blvd, McKinney, TX  75069

Email to amol+20pack@peek.ly and subject Peek Casepack Label with the prepaid label attached

Size of the box is say 2' by 3' cardboard

Bring a few beers to Peek at 33 West 17th St and you can pick up a Peek.

We have a few hundred in New York, but we have received around 2,000 requests so far.

Need to reply and sort through them

We have another several thousand in Texas at our warehouse though.

But here is what the reply to the many emails will say

1. This is a hard platform to develop for. If you have made a website or a Java server or even an iPhone app...this does not mean you will succeed here. You need to know C/C++, bootloaders and embedded arcana, you will need a flashing cable that you have to buy or make somehow... 

2. Once you have this all, it is still a pain in the ass. The build time is long, the code is hard to understand, the basic TI environment is crap and the Nucleus OS on top of it make Windows look like NextOS etc etc

3. If you send a prepaid mailing label we will get you a Peek etc eventually. It is going to take a little time. We will probably send a first batch on Monday
