Small setback...

EmileEmile Administrator, Athom
in Archive

We've received the PCB's today. Unfortunately, some of the LEDs were broken (a bubble of air inside of it was creating during reflow), so the soldering process is not yet good. Our manufacturer is working to make it right.

In the meantime, we're testing the hardware if everything else is right.

For the first batch backers, we could solder them by hand, but we have no idea how long it might take for the rest. Probably not too long, and hopefully it'll be fixed before the rest of the PCBs arrive, but just so you know :-)

    Damn, is there no luck left for you @athom?
    Thx for the update!

    It has been a bad monday for me. I also received an email that my pre-ordered Qubino modules had also a release delay for over 2 weeks extra. Boehoehoe....
    To bad, it can arrive at the same time my Homey arrives...

  • kastelemankasteleman Member

    @BasPost: pre-ordered Qubino? What modules would that be?

  • TheoDeKoningTheoDeKoning Member

    Who is kicking Murphy for good out of this project?

  • BumblezBumblez Member

    Well, look at it from the bright side... by the time the Homey finally does arrive, the software will be in a lot more advanced state ;-)

  • kimrorkimror Member

    And the hardware (hopefully) error free! :)

    The new Z-Wave Plus modules (dimmer, relay x1 and relay x2)

    How is soldering/fixing going at Athom and is the soldering process already optimiced?

  • JaxcJaxc Member

    Everything OK MarcoF ?? If we all keep asking questions about the soldering of the PCB's and delivery dates, when will they have time to solder and ship them?? Yust let them guys finish the product and let them report when they are ready for transport. So we all can enjoy our Homey's.

    Cheers

    @JurgenHuijbregts;
    Everything is OK :D

    since when is asking wrong? Software can be fixed, Soldering not. So soldering is a very important part of the end product, so i'm very curious about it :)

    @MarcoF

    If the team also have to tell us every thing what is going right then they need 48 hours in a day. ;)

    Further, I don't think for one minute that they would be ship Homey's that are not have good soldering.

    Did you swallow the key as well? Otherwise you would return within a day :( :P:P

  • MarcoWijkMarcoWijk Member

    ... sorry to hear about the setback... running out of fingernails here.... Isn't there a functionality that we could use, like " Homey, fix yourself" or "Homey, please work"... Perhaps as an easter-egg we could let Homey explain what Murphy's Law is all about. :-D But no worries guys, i'm sure it's worth the wait. ;-)
