[Ovmsdev] OVMS v3.1 Availability

Mon Mar 26 13:38:08 HKT 2018

The picture says it all.

We’re still trying to work out the final numbers, and adjust to meet all orders accepted by Fasttech, but all the first production batch have gone. I’m also trying to still get some to me in HK, so I can get those to people who _really_ need them. I’ll know more later today.

The circuit boards have arrived back from manufacturing, so China has started final assembly. Then QC. Then delivery.

Regards, Mark.

Wait a couple of weeks to ensure no hardware issues (either design and production) - if ok, then proceed with a larger second batch. I still think that is a reasonable plan, so would mean the next batch go ahead would be probably mid April, with available early to mid May. From then onwards, we can keep plenty in stock.
