Group Buy for the low cost ESP8266 based Adapter for Renard Controllers
What does it do?
The RenardESP adapter will convert any Renard that uses the SS BOM (and most of the non - SS models) from a device controlled by RS-485 Serial to a device controlled by e1.31 or sACN over WiFi. It does this by replacing the RS-485 receiver chip on the Renard board.
So instead of running CAT 5 through your yard and connecting your Renards to a RS-485 USB adapter or an e1.31 bridge, you can cut the cords and stream all your control data over wifi.

Pricing Info:
The PCB with BOM are $10.65. This does not include shipping; but does include all other fees.
This pricing assumes that at least 100 units are paid for. If less than 100 units are ordered, all money will be refunded and the group buy will be cancelled.
Timing
In order to keep prices down, some of the BOM is being ordered from China. Recent experience has shown that orders can take 30-40 days for delivery.
Therefore, it may be 4-5 weeks from the end of the Group Buy before shipment occurs.
Insurance - is optional, but no responsibility for loss in transit if insurance isn't purchased
$0.01 to $50 - $1.85
$50.01 to $100 - $2.90
Shipping (US)
Do to the vast quantity differences that may be ordered, its impossible to state shipping up front.
Shipping will be done by USPS flat rate priority mail or first class mail if under 13 ounces. Flat rate prices range from $5.30 to $11.15. I will always try to save you money on shipping. If under 13 ounces, they will ship first class mail in a padded envelope to keep costs down.
