Overall update.
Due to the global chip shortage I’m unable to make more inventory currently, so I’m going to be increasing the price by 15€ (0% VAT) for the 1.0 HW units. This is partly due to the super skewed supply/demand-ratio caused by the chip shortage, but I was planning on raising the price originally by 5€ for the 1.0 HW release, as the board got upgraded component count and spec wise slightly.
I’ve been mentally going through a bit of a hard time for the past couple months due to the chip shortage and the economic pressure it’s having on me, as my company is still getting started, so I don’t have a lot of capital, but now unable to make money pretty much. I’ve been having generally low motivation and the projected one year lead time for the components isn’t helping. Gonna be going on benefits for a few months, as I haven’t had any personal income for a couple of months.
I’m trying to make the best of the situation by using the extra time that I have to try to make the long esk8 adventure this year, just so I can “get away” so to speak for a while or at least get something other to occupy my thoughts.
Sorry fellas for the generally dumpy news. 2021 has been one of the worst years so far for me.
I plan on making a BMS wiring video with the i3-module, I’ll try to get it done tomorrow.
I’m also finally updating the github wiki pages, which has been hanging in my to-do list for quite some time.
