All components have arrived, and final assembly is
happening now. Next week will be firmware flashing, QC, and then
packaging.
Label looks like this:
Last things to do, with the goal of making this as
easy as possible for the first guinea pig end users…
- Modem Stability. I’ve been working on this. Seems
ok now; I drive in and out of zero coverage areas often, and
it seems to recover. I’ll address any new issues as and when
I find them. It would be helpful if others could put these
in their cars, and feedback good/bad news.
- Module Password (via web interface). I’ve asked
Michael to handle this, if he has time.
- Tidy up of ‘secure’ mode. I’ve asked Steve to
handle this.
- OTA. It is workable at the moment. Not automatic,
but pretty usable. I’ve committed my last change today so
that ‘ota status’ shows the version available on the server
(if wifi is up). It would be nice if the web interface could
help with this; and particularly nice if we could upload
firmware via the web interface directly to flash. I think
Michael is working on this (at least the help, if not the
upload).
- Deadline for the above is this Sunday (18th
March).
- End-User Documentation. This is priority now, and deadline is the end of this month to have something good enough for someone to follow to setup the module from scratch.
The other production and Fasttech side of things is
being handled. We’re gonna have the Fasttech US$20 coupon codes
ready to go at launch. Hologram have also offered a US$5 coupon
code as a starter for OVMS users (both new and existing), which
will be ready at launch as well. Developers can benefit from
both.
Fasttech will have 100 kits (50 US, 50 EU) and I’ll
have 20 (10 US, 10 EU). Normal orders can go through Fasttech -
if people need something special (just modems, just main boards,
etc) let me know and I’ll handle it directly.
So, for me it is now on to end-user documentation.
As a reminder, that is in google docs and everyone is welcome to
join in and help. The link to view/comment on the document is
here:
If anyone wants to help directly edit/author some of
it, let me know your eMail address and I’ll send an invite with
editing privileges.
Regards, Mark.
