Here is the latest update.
I have spoken to a local metal manufacturing company about creating custom cases for our device. In the meantime, as the hardware appears to have all but dried up. In most instances, not even being able to order the hardware until almost the end of June, then a 2 to 3 week lead time for delivery, makes it very difficult for us to build any more devices.
To that end, those who have submitted a request through the website for a device, will have their devices built and shipped as the parts already on order arrive. We are sourcing more hardware daily and will fulfill all existing orders. As the hardware supplies have dwindled, in some instances, the cost of the hardware has gone up. We will not be adjusting the price to reflect those changes.
What we are doing in the interim is testing the previous models of the Raspberry PI. So far the testing looks promising but needs further development time. If our testing is positive, we will then re-open the order process on the site using the various versions of the Raspberry PI that test successfully.
As indicated previously, you will receive an email with the purchase button when we have the hardware for you device. Once you use the button to complete the sale, your device will be built and shipped. We will not bill you in advance. Our plan is to keep everyone informed here and on our site, as well as via email to those who have placed an order.
We will send be sending out a confirmation email to all of the people that have submitted a request for a device. This will be confirmation that your request has been received.
