Status summary for this week: See below. Not much has changed although the gaskets came in much earlier than expected! Also, we're running into some real cost concerns but there some solutions that are up in the air. More on this later.
Kits contain:
- Plates
- PCB
- Diodes
- USB jack
- Stabilizer
- Gasket/Spacers
- Fasteners
- Teensy (optional)
PlatesAll plates have been cut except for the notched ones. Raw plates are being cleaned and oiled by mkawa. Painted plates are waiting on Rainbow to provide samples so GB participants can finalize their color decisions. There are some pictures of samples earlier in the thread but the full range of color options is still being determined. Notched plates are running into unexpected cost issues that have to be figured out.
PCBsPCB orders will be placed within the next month. It's best to wait after Chinese New Years before putting in a production order.
DiodesThese will be ordered soon and sent directly to me so I can sort them into individual kits and send them back to mkawa.
USB jacksFully acquired.
StabilizerFully acquired.
GasketsFirst batch of these are in. They are tested and fit is good.
Fasteners/spacersNeed to be specced and purchased.
TeensyNeed to be ordered for those who paid for one.
