Update on Status please

[thangobrind]

I am a Kickstarter who purchased the Media + package.

As such I am currently concerned that there has been no communication since 7th June (53 days ago), especially when It appeared the Rho board was just about to start its production run.

If the project has been run into issues, or been cancelled then I will accept it with a heavy heart - these things are the risks of Kickstarter. However what I don't understand is the lack of communication. Therefore please update us one way or another.

Thanks.

Futarque have now kindly responded via Kickstarter

Here is what they had to say:

Hi all,

We have been pretty mute late, as several backers have noted, so here is a much needed update on the manufacturing and the unfortunate delays we are experiencing.

Long story short, as mentioned in the comments section, the third revision of the board was for practical reasons moved to another manufacturing site. This is what has been causing delays, but the good news is that the transition period of that change is now behind us. Here's what the revision 3 boards look like.





Ten test samples have been manufactured and the hardware is working as expected. This is a great relief to us, considering the complexity of moving manufacturing. The main chips will be delivered August 30th. for mass manufacturing and we will keep you updated on manufacturing and delivery - more regularly from now on (promise!).
