OMG – We're Shipping!
I don't mind admitting, there have been a few times over the past month or so when I doubted we'd ever get here...

But! You should now all have tracking links – your Spectrums are on their way. If you don't have a tracking link, please get in touch with Crowd Supply.
What to Do When You Get Your ESP32 Rainbow
Everything should be installed and ready to go – the only thing you'll be missing is games.
Head over to www.esp32rainbow.com and navigate to the games section. Find the game you want to install and plug the ESP32 Rainbow into your computer’s USB port.
Click on the "Send to device" button and follow the on-screen instructions.
You can use the file browser to manage files and upload your own games as well. I recommend using the tap-to-z80 tool, as loading `.z80` files is considerably quicker than `.tzx` or `.tap` files.
Tell Us What You Think (Good or Bad!)
Please send in a field report. If your field report is selected, you'll receive a $50 Crowd Supply credit, and your report will be published as an official project update, emailed to backers, included in the Crowd Supply newsletter, and featured on their social media.
This could be your 15 minutes of fame!
You can also get in touch via the Crowd Supply page. If you find any bugs, let’s track them on the GitHub firmware issue tracker – they’ll be much easier to triage and fix there.
Finally
I just want to say thank you to everyone who backed the project and ordered a board. You’re the ones who made this project a success.
Thank you!
Ditto on both of Jerry's comments.
I'll have to admit, too, I was getting a wee bit concerned, but you have a great track record, transparency, and sense of honesty that it (mostly) allied my concerns.
And... if you create something else that looks appealing, I'd make the investment again.
I got the notification this morning. Very exciting. Thanks Chris.
