Knocker Kit
Yep, it does what it says.... It knocks on doors, and other things too.

A kit that will drive single external solenoid to "knock" on doors, tables or anything. A range of different cadences are available selectable by the 'prog' button. Selected knocking cadence is saved even when power is removed.

Solenoids Sold Separately.

Well, that was the best Black Friday sale I've never done.

I've been flat out shipping, packing and making kits solidly since I didn't do black Friday.

A few to go out tomorrow and I'm back up to date, sorry for any delays getting kits to you.

Now I've got to get kits in stock in time for not doing Jan sales. 🙃

Unfortunately, I've had to increase some of the prices a bit as the price of acrylic and especially solenoids have skyrocketed in the last few months.

The advantage of buying kits.

You own it.
You can repair it.
You can modify it in anyway you like.
There is NO DRM
There is NO "Cloud service" to fail in the future.
You learn by building it.
its 100x cheaper than the latest Phone.
It doesn't require updating, unless you want to.

ExtKits,
@ExtKits@mstdn.social avatar

@M0CUV @greycat Wow, you don't want much :)

I cant see that this would be possible with a pico. Maybe without the OS, apps and browser. e.g just a phone...

Otherwise you would have to develop a new browser AND OS AND try to fit it on to a pico sized processor. The first two are years of work each, and the last one is pretty much impossible. There are reasons modern phones have big fast (expensive)processors
