Release Twitter Update From Craig

[WizardStan]

No no no, bad news... that means I have less time to get PandoraPanic! working... :rolleyes:
BACK IN THE TUNNEL, SLAVE!

 

[lulzfish]

Gee, this seems a bit unreal.

Are these the final Pandoras we're talking about here?

These are the motherboards.
They are made of ARM and SGX and win.
They are still working on getting that last bit of the CNC prototype, and then they still have to order the final case molds and start production.

 

[fischju2000]

So, they have purchased all 4000 MP boards, before completing FCC and other tests?

So, they have purchased all 4000 MP boards, before completing FCC and other tests?
The final boards are required for the FCC test.

 

[danielliu88888]

yeah, i think ED or someone mentioned FCC testing requires the final product.

 

[Alpha2]

Final boards are required for FCC but you cant get them without actually ordering them, so it kinda HAS to happen I'd think. Besides they were going to ship even if they failed the tests because they werent going to have all 4000 in the first day to build. The first few hundred wil come in, one or two will go for testing, and the rest will go out to people for "real world" testing, if something goes wrong they can stop the order, and make fixes before the rest go out.

 

[hells_dark]

So we will see finished pandora soon

 

[peca]

I guess that this is about first 500 pieces for check and set factory line.

 

[gruso]

It will be the final ones, ie we will get 4000 of these overall, but they will arrive in batches.

 

[gibberish]

promising news

 

[PokeParadox]

Seriously despite my earlier jesting, I can't wait for these babies to ship!
I am anxious about my Pandora compile right now though.

EDIT: random copy paste is not cool...

 

[amortvigil]

New Update: most parts are already received!

 

[RajTakhar]

I think that was always going to be the case, i mean

The motherboard was to be tweaked - they had all the bits before, so its kinda a case of motherboards, keyboard and CNC cases, testing and start mass production stuff

 

[Bosbeetle]

And a nice new video now that is also on the official blog

 

[tristan.clark]

Awsome!

 

[verm71]

Excellent!

I did notice that the keys were not as "raised" (that is, as protruding) as I expected with the extra epoxy layer. How sensitive are they, and how fast can one reasonably type on it?

 

[Alpha2]

I'd assume no faster or slower than any other thumb keyboard.

 

[conso]

Maybe craig is currently heavily training for an upcoming tuxtyping video? Would be awesome. I bet pickle would have a port running in a matter of minutes.
