That took a while...


Are the new PCBs on production run now?
IIUC this cannot be. My understanding (which might of course have been wrong -- sorry if it is) was that EvilDragon was waiting on the sample cases so that he could build prototypes, not only that developers would have them for working on the software, but also to accelerate the hardware testing. With the hardware testing incomplete, the revised PCBs cannot be produced yet, surely?
 
@Xcl4m4t10n - What Pyramancer states is my understanding as well. More hands on these prototypes can hopefully shake out any hidden hardware issues that haven't been seen yet.
 
@EvilDragon I may have completely missed it, but has the 4GB instability been fixed/identified?

2 months is almost sounding like an actual possibility!
HAHAHAHAHA
At this point I reckon it'll be the end of this year, time has been going way too quick. But I think the developer prototypes might be ready in 2 months!
Also as far as I know, the 4GB instability still exists but the last time someone mentioned it was a few weeks back. I'm sure ED would've stated in this news post itself if it was fixed... Right?

Assuming that developers can replace parts themselves, why not send out prototypes within a couple of weeks?

My money is still on another 6 months at best. They still have to find all the bugs in the board, then produce the boards which is ~4weeks if I remember correctly. Then assemble. They also don't have all the cases, etc.

Not yet. zmatt didn't find the time and Nikolaus couldn't test it properly because he also didn't have cases.
Now Nikolaus has some cases which means he can build a 4GB and 2GB unit and compare them and look for issues there.

Why did Nikolaus need the cases to test that issue? Couldn't he just have used the populated PCBs?

I feel like I'm missing something...

Because that's not the only thing he wants to take a look at. It's also the power circuit with battery, USB, etc.
And using a battery without case is not really easy :)
 
I think my pyra and spectrum next will both turn up on the same day in January. It will be a glorious day.
