Do you use a 16n? Your input is requested!

Hello. In case you didn’t know: I’m the primary maintainer of 16n.

I’m working on a… project that would really benefit from input from existing 16n owners.

16n is an open-source project, and widely distributed: it’s never had an ‘official’ build, meaning boards, entire builds, and derivative projects have been made in many places. (This is a good thing!) But it also means that getting in touch with people who use it, or its derivatives, is somewhat tricky.

So: an experiment.

I’m running a survey about how people use their 16n, and if you own one - or a derivative work - I’d really, really like your input.

And more importantly: I’d really like you to share this survey with anyone you know who has one. I figured the best way I could get this out there would be some kind of viral spread, but Lines seemed as good a starting point as any. Might see if I can do something on the Instas, too.

So yeah:

  • if you have a 16n, answer the survey
  • if you know someone with a 16n, ask them to answer the survey

(Why? Well: let’s just say I’m thinking about… some kind of revision.)

Fill the survey! Spread the word!

Done!

Also, I have an A2Vproject version and spoke at length with someone from A2V at Superbooth recently and we discussed how close it was to being a perfect controller. But there is room for a nip and a tuck here and there to resolve some of the small ergonomic niggles! Apparently there are quite a few people who’ve raised these niggles and they are seriously considering a V2…

Thanks for all your hard work on it.

All done! I probably wouldn’t build a new version seeing as mine works fine and I don’t need to consume more resources, but I do wish it had a mini-b USB jack. Excited to see what pops out of this.

edit: USB-C is cool too!

I would love a Banana version. Maybe it’s already possible ?

answered the survey before i saw your teaser photo with the USB-C port on board. Nice! (I’ve repaired three 16n boards with decapitated Teensy USB ports for people over the years.)
