The original JIGMOD About page kept a short Testimonials section. Those quotes are part of the public archive of how early supporters described the system. This post features one of them, reproduced exactly as archived, with attribution:
“I have been waiting for JIGMOD for the last 25 years!” – Martin B, Canada
That line sits alongside the company’s own statement of purpose on the same page: JIGMOD was created to help people be successful in the art of electronic product development, and the company sold these products because it wanted to help advance technology. The About page also described JIGMOD as a customer-service focused company.
Why a quote like that fits the product
The store’s structure explains the wait Martin B described in practical terms. Platforms—listed as JIGMOD M, L, and XL, plus the Essentials Kit—provided a shared base. Individual JIGMOD boards mounted to that base; every module page stated that JIGMODs include 4 standoffs and 4 screws for mounting to a JIGMOD platform.
Those modules covered parts that are often awkward as loose breadboard components: binding posts for benchtop power, audio and RF-style connectors, battery holders, switches, potentiometers, USB and network-style plugs, card slots, buttons, a thumbstick, and more. Adapters fastened Arduino UNO/DUE/MEGA and Raspberry Pi boards to the same platform, and a breadboard adapter did the same for breadboards.
Company context from the archive
JIGMOD Company listed its address in Port Elgin, ON N0H 2C1, Canada. Hardware development had begun in September 2013. The company stayed in stealth until approximately September 2015, then launched Kickstarter and raised $10,842 (197% of a $5,500 goal), reaching that goal on October 13, 2015. The About page’s testimonial list is part of the same public record as that crowdfunding thank-you.
Other archived testimonials on the About page mentioned finding the system after searching for something like it, seeing it on Hackaday, using it for learning across ages, and looking forward to getting back into prototyping. This post intentionally quotes only Martin B’s line above, with the exact attribution from the archive.
