Hardware is hard.

We had a funky thing come up this week with our new run of Time Since Launch pcbs. See that little trigger switch that gets held in the pushed position by the TSL launch pin? It shouldn't be switching by tapping like or ever show it is being pushed unless the lever is actually depressed. Fortunately, we found this when we were testing the first 5 off the production run, so none are in circulation. Josh took one apart and took some photos under the microscope.

I just left a voicemail that I feel will never be returned with Panasonic. We were hoping these were from a different lot than our previous run, but that isn't the case. That said, they do have different markings on their surface. Josh is hopeful that there is a moment where things went wrong and hopefully we'll find it.

Black is back.

Orange went quick, now we have black.

We also did some anodizing this week and quietly put together 13 Wonder Bundles...one of a kind treasures. There are two left as of this writing.
