04:51 <d1b2> <davoid> hows it going with the sourcing, still shortage on some parts?

05:02 <d1b2> <esden> nothing changed... the timline is as it was

05:03 <d1b2> <esden> still waiting for parts

05:04 <davidc__> esden: is there a post somewhere with what exactly you are still waiting for?

05:04 <davidc__> esden: I wouldn't be surprised if at least a few of the glasgow backers are people that are / are closely associated with electronics CMs

05:05 <davidc__> esden: and they might have leftovers on hand that they would let go to the right cause

05:08 <d1b2> <esden> @davidc__ There is no official public list of parts that are missing. Everything is ordered and has timelines for delivery. And we already tried going through different paths. Unfortunately some of the most critical parts are used by consumer electronics giants that swept the market clean. So we have to wait for the vendor to send us the parts we ordered from them.

05:09 <d1b2> <esden> But I do appreciate the thought. 🙂

05:14 <d1b2> <esden> I do plan to write a new update for the campaign showing the parts we got since the last update. Then I will also update how many BOM lines are still missing.

05:22 <d1b2> <davoid> thx for the update. last 4-5 months has been constant struggle chasing down parts for various projects, even re-designing where possible/reasonable.

05:22 <d1b2> <davoid> very annoying that many of the 'standard' TI TPSxx regulators are gone

05:29 <davidc__> esden: Please don't take this as "why haven't my glasgows shipped", because I'm in the same boat. I just know I've got a box of "leftover parts" from various short production runs, with half reels / etc of things (mostly passives, but some semiconductors). I don't think I have any of the parts you need, but I figured with the size of your audience, you might get some hits :)

05:30 <davidc__> Anyhow, best of luck :)

05:35 <d1b2> <esden> No worries @davidc__ I did not take it that way. 🙂 We do have all the passives on hand by now. Most of the connectors are either here or in transit to us. I have to check which ICs we are still missing for the early bird run. I don't remember from the top of my head. But I think we are down to on or two parts. I will have to check again what the lead time is, but afaik we should have everything for early bird some time next month?... (don't

05:35 <d1b2> quote me on that, I have to make sure)

05:36 <d1b2> <esden> We finally got the first three parts from Arrow... they were taking their sweet time shipping the stuff they had in stock... :/
