Last known issue fixed


Honestly if the charging issue is going to be very prevalent as sad as it is I feel ED may need to have to source some quality cables, or at most include one (or at least the option to get the right wall wart and cable) with the pyra when it ships. Since I've noticed my cables are probably these shitty cables of which everybody is speaking.
 
I was thinking... wouldn't it be awesome if it was possible to test a usb cable by plugging one end into the Pyra's host port and the other end into the micro-usb port? Well, assuming something doesn't fry...

sounds like a fun idea indeed
 
But... after changing the charger chip configuration, even the shitty cables work... sure, non-shitty ones work better, but you won't have a problem with shitty cables either :)
Well, the bad one would take longer to charge, wouldn't it? And assuming the good cable doesn't require significantly more resources during production and disposal/recycling, it is an unneccessary waste of energy.
 
So what are we waiting for now, on the road to mass production?
3. What's left?

Well, it seems we fixed all the hardware issues we found.
The bare CPU boards are expected to arrive around October 20th, we'll produce 30 more prototypes then, these will be enough for more devs and the Prototype orders.

The case is currently getting the remaining tweaks, the keymat as well... well, that's it.
 
Hey yeah, about how long after the prototypes ship will the mass production start, assuming all goes well?
 
Well the release of the protoypes will realize the Pyra. It will fully exist and everyone will see. With videos of it in action pre-orders should increase. This for me will be fun too and then mass production will happen in its own sweet time.
 
For those complaining about the boot time in the video aTc just posted, there is a boot menu that allows you to switch different kernels/options that pops up with a several second delay that you can't see because it's only outputted to the serial console until a graphical one can be thrown together.
