Could be!!! I have no idea what the discussions were with @Icky now. I'm pretty sure I just told him to go fit a load of chips on board and he got on with it :lol:

EDIT:
I was actually joking at the time but he did it anyway :lol:

That could have led to some interesting combinations.

Lol, I need to tell myself off, there was no intentional pun intended.

Ah, ok... we'll forgive you - this time!

:lol:

You need a crystal clear case for the machine now.... and more LEDs.

Does anybody do a clear filament for a 3d printer? If so, that must be worth a go on Giant Panda at some point...?

I tried some transparent red TPU. It didnt appear totally clear and you could still see each layer of the print. I do need to try it again now I've upgraded the printer though.

@PhilC - It is the flashy bit. It shows that the FCV6 is either erasing or programming the Flash ROM.

@exxos - I am sure I can fit another chip on that board somehow :) However I think we now have to task of unpicking our conversations as to how we were going to get this thing to work.

Currently sorting out firmware to just get it to boot as a straight through CPU board first.
