Hi Rickward. We do have a $35 tier that lets you download the first stable release of the software, but obviously since it's open source that is kindof a donation. We will also offer a downloadable 'image' to put on an sd card for a Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone Black, or pcDuino. This will make set up significantly easier than trying to configure Linux to install the source code directly.

Our lowest AstroBox tier will be $75 (including shipping), which is literally less than it costs us to make the box! (The pcDuino2 inside the box retails for $65) We will be offering 50 boxes at this price before jumping up to $100, then $125. It will be fully assembled, flashed, and ready to go and will include: pcDuino2, laser cut acrylic case, power supply, microSD card, and the AstroBox software.
