Mark,<br>
<br>
thanks for the update and your monetary support.<br>
<br>
Regarding the CE/FCC certification, maybe we can raise some funds
from the users interested in this, i.e. nearly all EU users. How
much is it?<br>
<br>
Regarding the firmware deadline, 10 days may be a bit short for the
wifi rework and new setup wizard to get done and mature enough for
rollout. The web UI now checks for all common mistakes users made in
their initial setup (I hope I got all of them…). I'll see if I can
add a "quick setup" page of the main configuration options.<br>
<br>
We should replace the serial number process by the factory defaults
(wifi AP "OVMS / OVMSinit", no shell password).<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Michael<br>

<div class="">FYI</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The order for production batch #2 has just been
placed:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<ul class="MailOutline">
<li class="">50x US kits (module + US 3G modem + Hologram sim)</li>
<li class="">150x EU kits (module + EU 3G modem + Hologram
sim)</li>
<li class="">20x modules only (board + case, but no modem)</li>
<li class="">5x EU 3G modems (incl. Hologram sim)</li>
<li class="">5x US 3G modems (incl. Hologram sim)</li>
</ul>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
</div>
<div class="">No change to specification and board layout from the
first production batch, except to re-iterate the points that
came in from feedback. We are arranging a foam box to ship the
modules in, with our logo on it, to avoid the issues with sticky
glue on those padded bags.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Availability at Fasttech perhaps in about 3 weeks
time. Our deadline for firmware is about 10 days.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This is a lot of $$$ upfront payment, and the
project is pretty tapped financially (I’ve had to pay for most
of this myself). Once the money from sales starts to come in,
we’ll be better off.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have quotes from certification labs for CE and FCC
certs, and it seems possible. They say we may have some small
changes to make (ESD primarily), but overall our design seems
fine and they are confident we can achieve the certification.
The process is expensive, but is just a one off upfront payment.
Current plan is to start with that process once we have this
production batch built and at Fasttech. We did consider doing
this before this production batch #2, but that would have just
delayed things several months.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So long as this certification process doesn’t drag
on, we should be able to keep OVMS v3 in stock and available
from now.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Regards, Mark.</div>
