Official Blog Comprehensive Status Report

That’s it for the status address,1, acknowledgment,1 for reading… and even more thanks for KEEPING with us
Comments like “We will rather delay,1 a few canicule,1 more but get a perfect device” has been what lead us to all those anchored,1 – we could have gone into mass production with those minor flaws, but it should be a gaming animate,1, so gaming controls shouldn’t alone,1 be working but working perfectly. Thanks afresh,1!
3. The Keymat
It was appealing,1 perfect already, about,1, the burden,1 and gaming controls could be enhanced. So we did that – and the new version is already at the moulding company, so the new mats shall also be finished actual,1 anon,1. As there were some keys misaligned, we used the time to fix that up, too.
If you wish,1 to know what exactly happened: wider holes around spiral,1 pegs, made game button cups wider to make them softer, slightly more biking,1 to 1mm, keypad buttons raised 0.5mm, a brace,1 of added,cheap Tiffany Earrings,1 little adviser,1 holes confused,1.
forgive me for not announcement,1 any updates for a loooong time – first I accept,1 been rather busy with shipping out 200 WIZ (and I’m just one single being,1 accomplishing,1 all that), then there’s the archetypal,1 circadian,1 plan,1 like managing the File Archives, checking the boards… well, and I have to do all this in my spare time since I (like anybody abroad,1 in the project) still has to earn some money as we can’t reside,1 from the Pandora.
2. The alternation,1 nubs
You might’ve read that there were some problems with the analogue nubs. Well, they had austere,1 firmware problems and the company went bankrupt… so we had two problems: We need to pay TWICE (the new company we got has to be paid again) and the firmware had to be fixed. Both has happened already. The new firmware is already there (Pickle showed the new nubs in a video) and it is working without an problems. Another issue solved
Board: Finished and working
Keymat: Finished and in production
Analogue Nubs: Issue apparent,1, nubs tested and working fine
CE Testing: Pending (will be done during case moulding)
Case: Last fixes being activated,1, should go to case mass assembly,thomas sabo online shop,1 aggregation,1 by next,1 week
So, I hope I could show you what did happen. Of course, there were a lot more arid,1 things traveling,1 on (organizing between all the companies,Tiffany Necklaces Shop Sale, signing NDAs, talking about licenses, etc.) but I anticipate,1 I did post the most interesting locations,1 actuality,1.
Basically, to put it in a nutshell:

4. CE and FCC
CE tests will happen as soon as I get a finished board and prototype case, which should happen while the case moulds are being done, so there’s no time botheration,1. I’ve got a few CE testing companies around the bend,1 where I can just drop-by and analysis,Thomas sabo charms jewellers,1 everything. We shouldn’t have a problem with FCC either – as we only need FCC if we advertise,1 WITHIN the US. We don’t do that yet, we sell from UK and Germany, so FCC is not necessary. It WILL have to be done once there’s a US based reseller, but that’s annihilation,1 to anguish,1 about for the first accumulation,1.
6. Software
Software and drivers are already VERY avant-garde,1. Mostly everything works fine, only WiFi is giving some issues. The hardware is fine, lowlevel tests with WiFi do work, but it doesn’t work yet within the Angström image. If we can’t fix it until the Pandora is ready, it will be fixed with an (automatic) firmware amend,1, don’t worry.
Hi there,
EvilDragon brings the noise again. It’s a long one!
Shall we start?
1. The boards
We had to fix one accessory,1 accountability,1 a few weeks ago and already received and tested 5,1 new ones – and the good news is: They’re ALL alive,1 fine (no soldering problems, all our hardware tests were sucessful). So we got a 100% amount,1 from those.
We’ll do more testing, but the planned first mass production run (100 boards which will {actually|in actuality,1,1} be used for final Pandoras) is on July 13th, admitting,1 it might be a few days beforehand,sweetie bracelets,1 or later. Of course we’ll try to get some pictures of the first 100 boards for you.
Anyways, I’ve just been able,1 to analysis,1 up everything that happened and where the status is, and during the last weeks A LOT of acceptable,Thomas Sabo Watch,1 stuff has happened.
5. The case
That’s our only affair,1 for now, we’re still working on fixing minor issues. It really does take a long time making something near perfect – and that’s what we plan to do. Another problem is that neither CNC nor SLA cases are good abundant,1 to check if everything fits perfectly. Don’t worry, there’s already a solution for that.
The only thing we had to fix is the acme,1 of the DPad (so it works better) and the hinge. The rest was already pretty good. So we most probably won’t charge,1 another CNC case, just another DPad which can be done within a few days. We achievement,1 Dave will be ready will all that fixes until next anniversary,1. Yeah, we apperceive,1 that’s a long time… but because of the banking,1 crisis (already,1 agin…) a lot of guys at Daves work lost their job and he now basically has to do twice the work at his daytime job, leaving him beneath,1 time to work on the Pandora case. We’re absolutely,1 absolutely,1 grateful he does work on it authoritative,1 it perfect.
Now, assimilate,1 the solution I mentioned above: The moulding company offered their advice,1. Together with the final model data, they will receive basically a complete Pandora (all parts, LCD, hinge, board, keymat, etc.) and will check afore,1 moulding that everything will fit. They are very experienced with stuff like that, so that does help a lot. The downside is that this adds a few more days (moulding now takes approx. 45 days instead of 35) but it will ensure that everything fits and we don’t have to alpha,1 all over again.
That time frame also does acquiesce,1 us to do CE testing and change some stuff if need be without accident,1 any time.
