Summary
Disappointingly for all concerned, due to delays and development problems we won't be delivering the hardware to you in time for LCA2022 on 2022-01-14
We are in the final stages of hardware production manufacturing and testing ... and estimate that we'll start shipping in late January.
On Friday 2022-01-14, the OHMC presentations will proceed as scheduled. Our presentations will also include some challenging hardware delivery details !
We sincerely apologise for missing our deadline ... we're sorry that we let you down 😢 Producing a satisfying quality result where the hardware has been thoroughly tested is paramount ... and we hope you agree too. We are looking forward to delivering them, collaborating on developing software and building interesting applications with you.
Details
The project consists of three pieces of hardware that can be used together or individually ...
- Rockling FPGA audio SAO: A Lattice iCE40 UP5K (same FPGA as the FOMU used in Tim Ansell's workshop) based development board with an Audio Codec and amplifier with headphone and speaker connectors. Also includes a Theremin front-end with volume and pitch controls connected to the FPGA.
- SwagBadge 2022: An ESP32 based development board with a 320x240 colour TFT LED screen, 2x touch sliders and 3x SAO connectors. Also intended to be a primary user interface for the Rockling FPGA SAO. Compatible with last year's SwagBadge 2021
- The Party Button SAO: A beautiful D.I.Y soldering kit with a button and LEDs that can both operate standalone or connected to a SwagBadge
FAQ
- When will there be more precise shipping date ?
Right now we are ensuring that our presentations and logistics for the OHMC on 2022-01-14 are complete. On-going manufacture and testing will ramp up again after that date and we'll re-estimate again at that point. We will continue to update this status page as we make progress.
- What if receiving the OHMC hardware kit after LCA2022 is unacceptable ?
We will organise a full refund. We are aiming for this project to have value, longevity and support well beyond LCA2022 and hope that you'll remain as keen as we are.
- What if I missed registering for a hardware kit and would like one ?
We acquired additional hardware parts and will manufacture a limited number after LCA2022. After the original batch has been delivered, we will announce further details.
- Will we ship to international addresses ?
Yes, for post-LCA2022 orders. Any additional shipping costs will need to be added.
