Lot's of Stuff Happening!

Here are some shots of the 1st Hand-Built My N3RD Production PCB's...

Production should be kicking off very shortly now that we have the enclosure design complete.  All parts have been procured and are arriving daily.  We are now in the process of panelizing the PCB so that we can efficiently run production.  After this is complete we will order the Stencil for the Solder paste and start the programming and setup of our SMT Machine for part placement. 

The New Enclosure Design...

Additional Updates:

  • Android App-  Very Good progress has happened here.  We have been able to Beta-Test the software and we are receiving updated versions on a regular basis from the Developer.  We anticipate being able to send Beta Software to our Backers within the next couple of weeks for some additional Testing and Feedback.
  • iOS App-  The iOS App has taken a major over-haul and will be packed full of additional features not found in the current App.  Apple doesn't make it as easy to  provide Beta Test Software so most of this de-bugging will be done "In-House".
  • Cloud Integration-  As mentioned previously, this has been by far our biggest challenge.  However, we are very happy with the progress we have made and believe that most of the big obstacles are behind us.  We fully anticipate having Cloud Integration implemented by Production.

We are on Track for a Production Delivery of Late July.  Our Biggest hurdle is getting the Enclosure Tooling in time.  The last minute changes we made has thrown off the original schedule but we feel that the added features made it worth the risk.  We are confident we can make up this time and will continue to push our Tooling Vendor.  We will continue to keep our Backer's updated if we see any potential slippage in the schedule.
