## Where to buy

| Shop | Status | Link |

## Blueprint

**Not yet known.** Currently only a live Kickstarter campaign; CircuitMess says schematics/source will be published but no repo, schematic, or BOM exists yet to verify.

### Key parts

| Part | Role | Datasheet |
|---|---|---|
| ESP32-S3 (per press coverage: 4MB flash / 4MB PSRAM variant) | MCU | https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/esp32-s3_datasheet_en.pdf |

_Notes:_ Campaign launched 2026-09-10 and is still funding (per WebSearch results dated 2026-09-22). CircuitMess's history (Chatter/Clockstar/ByteBoi/Artemis all eventually got schematic PDFs + a firmware repo) suggests this will land in the 'schematics' tier once shipped, but nothing citable exists yet — marked unknown rather than guessed.
