2014 is coming to an end (or has already ended in some regions), so of course I wish you all a Happy New Year and hope you had a few nice christmas holidays. 2015 will be an important year for us.
The Pyra will be finished, that's pretty much for sure, and then it's time to gain a lot of interest for it. The interest will determine whether it'll be actually produced or not - but I'm pretty positive we can do that :)
But first - the last update of this year :)
1. The PCBs -----------
Nikolaus completely finished the main PCB just before christmas and the PCBs have already been ordered! So we'll soon have some fully working prototype PCBs. He also designed an adapter so we can plug in the devboard as CPU board replacement, which allows us to fully test all functions of the mainboard. So the only remaining PCB left is the CPU PCB. That will need about 100 workhours to be finished, and then the hardware is basically fully done (except for bugs we may find).
2. The Case -----------
Not much else has happened since the last post, but it was christmas time, so every company had some holidays. I expect more information in January. I might make another trip to Greece as well to talk with them about the last tweaks if need be. So, Happy New Year to all of you - see you soon!
