(this will of course any settings like configured access points too).

I think you accidentally a word.

...I personally do recommend everyone to start building and playing with it..

I'd love to, but I'm still waiting for hardware Adafruit Huzzah boards seem to be hewn from ingots of weapons-grade unobtanium.

Their initial production run was small, so as to test the boards and the interest in them. They do plan to make further runs, but you know how much paperwork and organizing it takes. But I think you can also easily test with one of the dozens of other development boards available for esp8266, as long as they have at least 1MB flash, they would work exactly the same.

I have a board like this that seems to work well: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201542946669 (it has the CP2102, so safe from "FTDI-gate" issues)

Also, I put together some instructions on building MicroPython on a Raspberry Pi (likely also works on similar debian distros)

These http://www.sweetpeas.se/18-controller-modules cost $9 and shipping is $4 I think. Several would fit in an envelope.
I tested that they boot up fine with before the kickstarter code, and will be testing the new github code soon.

Thanks to a generous forum member I now have hardware Having trouble building the current firmware, though. I cloned and built the toolchain with apparent success and then got:

Any thoughts?

Hey pythoncoder,

Since this commit, you should be good to compile again. This was a while ago, so maybe update your local repository to the recent upstream.

[pythoncoder]

Thanks for that. I commented out the offending line and it built, but I'll grab your commit and install that.
