This is HypnoCube

We’re out of 4Cube PCBs until Thursday, when a new batch should arrive. Any 4Cube orders between now and then will be delayed a few days.

Update: Just to confirm, we’ve got the new PCBs, so 4Cube’s are back in stock.

Well, we’re finally moved over to a new host. Everything should be peachy, but if you come across any problems or weirdness please let us know.

We’ve been having significant service issues the last couple weeks, with numerous outages. We’re in the process of moving to another host, so bear with us for the moment.

In the meantime, if our site is unavailable and our email bounces, it does not mean that we took all $128 of our Hypnocube profits and absconded to Tijuana. Probably.

After much delay, the finished 8Squares and kits are available for order from our order page. The instructions are quite finished yet, but I promise they will be online by the time kits are delivered (I decided to put the kit up for order before the instructions are done so the couple people eager to get them can get them sooner, and this will force me to finish the instructions ) They’re finished and up on the info page.

The 8Square is a significantly simpler kit than the 4Cube, but if you’re at all unsure whether you’re up to the task I encourage you to wait a few more days and review the instructions before ordering.

As of last week, all back orders have been shipped out and we’re back in stock. Yay!

Due to a recent surge in orders, we are almost out of inventory (namely, the cases.) Orders are still open, but may be backordered. We will of course notify you promptly if your order is backordered, and you will have the option of taking a full refund instead. On Google Checkout orders, your credit card will not be charged until we can can fulfill your order (Unfortunately Paypal does not give us this flexibility.) Backordered kits should ship in 1 - 2 weeks. Finished cubes may take an additional week.

Yup, we’re out of inventory. Any further orders will be placed on backorder. Backordered kits should ship May 8-9, and finished cubes may take an additional week.

We got some love from Craig Crossman over at The Seattle Times (you can read it here.) Which promptly brought our little server to its knees . If you couldn’t access our site today, that’s why.

Thanks Craig, we’re glad to hear you like the cube!

After much delay, the new instructions are available in PDF format.

I quietly updated the order page last week (though some of you sneaky people seem to have noticed and sneakily ordered,) and with the instructions finally done I guess the new cube is now officially released. Whoo!

Now to get the 8Square out the door…

(Oh yeah, the Features page still needs to be updated. Though it will probably be replaced entirely by a Products page as we offer things other than the one Cube.)

Here [hypnocube.com/Docs/UserManual_1_0.pdf] is a PDF of the user manual for the new 4×4×4 HypnoCube and the 8×8 HypnoSquare. This pertain only to devices bought after Feb 2008.

There are two sample programs with C++ sourcecode showing how to interact with the new devices. Both files are zip files containing Visual Studio 2005 projects. Read the above Manual for more information.
