I don't know what batch I'm in.  I got a confirmation on Valentine's Day that I was interested.  My kit arrived today.    Paid for it a week or so ago.

Still waiting patiently for any notice (sent two emails, maybe a 2 or 3 weeks ago), hopefully they were to the right address ...

Yeah, I've also sent 2 emails from 2 different addresses. I understand that Oscar and the chap handling the orders are swamped and doing the best they can. But I do worry, did they get my emails? I sure hope so. Regardless, I know that eventually I'll be able to get a PiDP-10!

[Curtis Vaughan (ACSS)]

BTW, my first email was sent April 19. So, I guess there's a big backlog.

[Guy Sotomayor]

I had the same problem until I used the order link on the website.  After that, I received an email with a payment link.

I think Oscar and his helpers get stalled/delayed by shipping problems
too. They had to spend some number of hours/days resolving a shipping
problem to Australia (some massive rate change). I expect this eats up
a lot of their time and energy. These sorts of problems would block
forward progress on shipping more units.

[David Betz]

I used that twice and never got anything.

They told us we were on the list weeks ago.  I hope they were correct.  I have the same fear:  that we are not.  Publishing the list might help.

If Oscar told you that your were on the list, then you are on the list.  Have some patience.  You have no idea what might be taking up Oscar's time or the other dude doing the shipping.

[David Betz]

If I haven't heard anything does that mean I'm not on the list and that I should try the link again?

[Tim Radde]

I would suggest No for now.  If he told you that you were on the list he's not gonna lie to you.  How long is the list?  I have no idea how many people are interested.  But it seems like quite a few.  They send out in batches of 100 or 150 at a time.  Sending more e-mail to Oscar just puts another e-mail into his mail box which I bet is overflowing already.  I am sure you will get your kit in time.

Well, your list posts consistently fall into gmail's spam filter.  I'm not certain why but I suspect dmarc doesn't like comcast:

Hello guys, I work with Oscar on the logistics and we had ordered 300 PCBs and then was stuck in customs in a big way. They have been released and received today. So, we can finally start packing kits and ship them out as soon as we can. Sorry for the delay. Regards, Jose

Thank you for the update!  Very appreciated.

José, this is great news, please can you put me down on the list for a PiDP-10.

Thanks very much.

Cheers, Richard

[Steven Hirsch]

No problem, and thanks for the update!  Just hoping my name pops to the top of the list soon-ish.

[oscarv]

Yes, we've had a lot of hassle getting parts coming in. But we'll have another 190 kits ready in a week or two, and much more coming soon as we've learned about shipping parts the hard way...

And apologies for my 10-day absence. Some annoying health/Brain Fog issues, so thanks to Jose for stepping in to give an update!

Kind regards,

Oscar.

[Marc Howard]

I would love to just really know that I’m on the list.

Same here. Even if the ship date is months away, I'd like to know if I'm on the list. Thanks.

Add me to the list of folks wondering if they are on the "list".

[William Cattey]

I too have not yet been notified I can pay and buy.

[Bill Wenrich]

I also haven't received any confirmation about being in the list. Not complaining about the time or queue position, but just to have certainty that everything is OK.

I've expressed interest 3 times, but didn't find any reply:

  - (February) in this forum

  - (April) in email as requested on the Wix site @ https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-10-get-one

  - (May) in the order form @ https://www.ceds.dev/pidp-10 

Of course the team is very busy & I hate to bother them with record-keeping questions. I've never had any problems getting messages about the PiDP-8/-11, so hopefully my email isn't broken...

[Brian Denley]

Anyone receive an invoice lately, from the new batch?

Update on the new batch: we have 300 new PiDP-10s ready now to go out. 200 are out in the wild so far. In a week, the next 300 should arrive at the fulfillment center.

The last weeks have been beyond frustrating. Our PCB shipment was held up for weeks due to some Customs mixup, only to present us with another delay.

Why the latest delay? The LED plague! (you heard of it here first :-))

Over the last two weeks, we had a bit of a scare because there were persistent messages about dead LEDs in the last batch of the kit. So we tested 10% of the LEDs in each bag of 1,000 LEDs.

That means, we tested 3,000 individual LEDs last week, not entirely fun.

Some sleuthing around, and it seems there's something akin to the capacitor plague of the early 2000s going on in China right now. As in, large volumes of LED bags (they come on bags of 1,000) contain up to 1% bad LEDs. That was never the case before... So we ordered lots of LEDs from different vendors, and tested them for quality before using them. As bad LEDs will probably ripple through the Chinese parts system, this will be a headache for a long time to come. And clearly, reputable sources are not immune.

Anyway - we sorted this problem the hard way for the next 300 kits, and in the coming days we will finish packing up and sending them off to Florida. I fear we'll be testing LEDs to intercept bad bags of them for quite some time.

Not how we wanted this to go, we share the frustration about getting more PiDP-10s out!

Kind regards,

Oscar.

[Steven Hirsch]

Thanks for the update, Oscar.  I think everyone is willing to be patient.  But, if there's any way you can ping folks on your pre-order list to confirm them it would be greatly appreciated!

[Brian Denley]

Why not publish the list.  Then people can relax as they can see they are in fact ON the list and they will have an idea where they stand in line for getting a kit.  It’s hearing nothing at all that’s disturbing.

Hello Brian, you are on the list and ready for the next batch that flight this thurday to Florida from Panamá. So, if there is no more delays next week you can pay for your kit.

Regards,

Jose from CEDS (Panamá)

[Charley Jones]

Always test your leds before they go into circuit.  Easier to test before you solder.

I agree.  Not having a bad one for the -8  and -11, I almost skipped
this but found a weird one and a few bad ones.


Question:  How about the diodes?  Lots of them and tests easier out of
the circuit than in, but have there been any instances of bad diodes in
the -10 project?

thx.  Dale

Fyi.. I sent the "interested" email on March 9, and got the "order
email" today June 21.
This is for the 3rd batch.
