Our Drawdio and MiniPOV kits arrived, and now the only challenge is resisting the temptation to give them out immediately, so we can get started building! So hard to wait 😉
Oh, and also resisting the temptation to order everything else in the catalog that I have on my wishlist. . . must be patient. . .
@michael tilse- not sure what you mean exactly, but the best thing to do is to make an account, then add all your items to cart, then check out. please email support@adafruit if you have any problems, we can help you out!

couldn’t find the checkout after I “continued shopping”. Am I missing it? or do I have to add an item just to get back to the shopping cart?
