Last known issue fixed

[DrHAX]

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.

It is my favorite source of translations as well: look for a word, change the language and you get an accurate translation.

This is the best way to translate technical terms really.

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

 

[Silent-Hunter]

So what are we waiting for now, on the road to mass production?

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.

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.

 

[matzesu]

So some of these 30 Prototyphs will also used, for testing, and if there fine, mass Produktion could be made pretty quick ??

 

[Silent-Hunter]

Hey yeah, about how long after the prototypes ship will the mass production start, assuming all goes well?

2 Months?

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

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.

Look my Avatar everyone.
Last known issue fixed

 

[levi]

Now we just need ED's avatar fixed and well be dandy!

Edit: Mine's also re-cropped from the original crop I made, but I'm fine with that personally.

 

[Kev2442]

So... got news or we're gonna starve for'em until the 20th ?

 

[aTc]

If you want old news, I do have a video of the prototype booting PyraOS.
(and doing the screen rotation without the chip)

 

[TrashyMG]

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.

 

[PowerGod]

I'll put this thing on a Christmas tree and then I boot it up !! XD

Thanks @TrashyMG for the explanation

 

[sm0kew0n]

Hadn't seen that, thanks @aTc

 

[WizardStan]

For those complaining about the boot time

It was 30 seconds! Even if that was all actual boot time and not several seconds of delay, 30 seconds is an excellent boot time. Why are people complaining?
