Easter Egg Hunt 2018
After the success of last years Easter Egg Hunt, it is back again this
year, bigger, better and eggier than before! Look out for the Easter
Eggs on multiple RC2014 products across various stores on Tindie
and hunt for the parts of a discount code hidden inside. If you can
find all the parts of the code, you can get 18% discount on RC2014
computers and accessories from semachthemonkey, Ed Brindley, Tynemouth Software or Dtronixs

It's Show And Tell Time
The Maker Faire season will be kicking off soon when the RC2014 makes a trip up north to Scotland for the Edinburgh Mini Maker Faire on 15th April. Last year it was great fun, and this year is promising to be even better.
Then a couple of weeks later, RC2014 will be returning to Newcastle for the UK Maker Faire on 28th 29th April.
As usual, if you are in the vicinity of either of these events, make
sure you call in and say hi. You might even be able to pick up a couple
of bargains too!

New ESP8266 WiFi Module
If you want to control your RC2014 over WiFi, share it's output on the
internet, or surf any of the internet based BBS out there, then the ESP8266 WiFi Module
is for you! This kit comes with a pre-programmed ESP8266 ready
for Telnet access from your home network. Write your own firmware or use
one of the many software images already out there to give it new
features. Even includes a prototyping area to allow further
customisation

In the last newsletter I mentioned the Black
Friday Cyber Monday sale, and that certainly didn't go unnoticed by a
lot of you! Over that weekend I shipped out as much kit as I would
expect to ship in 11 weeks! So thank you all for keeping me busy,
and welcome to all of you new RC2014 users that came along that
weekend!

RomWBW
I know a lot of you are already enjoying the advantages of running
RomWBW on your RC2014, but for those of you that haven't tried it yet,
things are going to get easier with a new 512k ROM / 512k RAM Module for
the RC2014. It is currently undergoing final testing, and should
be available in a Tindie store near you very soon!

Making The Grade
Not every RC2014 PCB comes out perfect. Sometimes prototypes need
another revision before they are released. Or maybe there's a board made
for a product that's too quirky to make it to market. Well,
rather than let them go to waste, you can pick up a bargain with a B-Grade RC2014 PCB Selection.

Also, as is traditional in the newsletter,
here's a teaser photo without any context, any details, any price, any
links, or any release date.
