I'll admit there needs to be a datasheet, however I've been getting feedback from early adopters and trying more things with power supplies and interconnects and timing, and didn't think it was a good idea to release a datasheet until I was absolutely sure of the details. For example, I wouldn't recommend using the 5V jumper right now because I had one customer report that he burned out some ShiftBrites when using that jumper. I have been running some tests and haven't gotten the same result yet, but don't want to widely advertise that jumper until I'm sure.
I have had many customers contact me for help getting their ShiftBrites running, and I'm more than happy to provide any information requested, help them write code for their chosen controller architecture, etc. I prefer to keep it interactive at this point, since I don't have a huge customer base right now (only about 150 different customers) and I want to keep an eye on the areas where most people are having problems.
