This is HypnoCube

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.

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.

We’ve had a big up tick of queries from prospective international customers recently. Just to let everyone know, yes, we will happily ship internationally. The shipping is via parcel post, and $20 flat to keep things simple. I’ll add PayPal links on the order page for international shipping shortly. Also, you’re probably aware, but you will need a transformer or supply your own 2.1mm 9VDC 300mA adapter if your mains power differs from the U.S.

Yeah, I know, just when it looked like there might be life around here, I’m running off again.

Since I’m going to be out of touch while gallivanting around, I’ve redirected the order notifications to Chris. Everything should work, but if you suspect your order wasn’t received etc, please contact Chris at the address listed on the contact page.

Just moved the new site to the hypnocube root. If anything’s broken, please contact me. The content is pretty much a straight port of the old site, but I’ll be updating it as required over the next week.

Also: 8square proto boards come in mid-week, so I should start flexing the blog with pics.

We’ll see how this wordpress thingy works out. Hopefully it will mean more (any, really) updates.
