Hello FC community, Just a reminder of where we stand: using the donations that have been collected so far, I have secured all of the necessary parts except the two chip attenuators in the radio Tx path (they are available from Jotrin, but quoting and ordering requires going through a human, hence the delay - I'm working on getting this order in), and there is enough money to order the flash+pSRAM BGA reballing as well - I'll work on this one once I get past the last remaining Jotrin order.
However, we are still about $2000 short of the goal for the PCB fabrication. In other words, we need to raise another $2000 before we can order the PCBs - the most critical and most expensive step for the FCDEV3B project. So please keep the donations coming! What has been raised so far is great, but it is not enough. I need to remind everyone that there WILL NOT be any more progress in ANY direction in the entire FreeCalypso family of projects until the long-overdue FCDEV3B is built, and that step cannot happen until the remaining half of the original goal is raised. Therefore, it is now entirely up to YOU, the community, to decide whether FreeCalypso is to move forward or not. If more people donate and we raise the still- needed $2000, the FC family of projects will move forward, otherwise all FreeCalypso development will effectively end. It is now up to you all to make a difference. Here is the GoFundMe campaign once again: https://www.gofundme.com/fcdev3b-board-production-2umevjw With hope, Mychaela aka The Mother _______________________________________________ Community mailing list [email protected] https://www.freecalypso.org/mailman/listinfo/community
