DipCortex Production Update
Categories: News / Blog
Many thanks for all of the DipCortex pre-orders, we have both been overwhelmed with support. Our visit to the Brighton Maker Faire where we showed the prototype versions off to the crowds went well and we have had lots of interest.
A quick update on the production status, we hit a small block in customs at the start of the month, they held on to our components for over a week, which has caused a bit of a delay. We have sorted that and we now have the right import codes so that it wont happen again. The assembly is in progress with our manufacturer, we hope to have them in our hands in the next 2 weeks and in yours not long after.
Firmware progress has been good for the WiFi DipCortex, I have been contacted by a group of software developers working on CC3000 mbed library’s and have had their code working on the WiFi DipCortex, connecting to an access point and sending off some pings, So great progress.
The waiting is killing me! Thank you again for your patience.

Hi Carl,
Do you know if the boards will be available soon ?
I can’t wait to get my WiFi DipCortex !

Hi Max,
Really sorry about the wait, rest assured we have been chasing the assembly company and we hope to get them soon, hopefully I can confirm a date once I know more.
In the mean time, progress on an mbed library and examples is going very well. I’ll be writing up a blog entry to go through them in more detail.
Again sorry for the wait,
Carl.
Hi – can you advise if you will have excess stock beyond the initial pre-order in this batch ? Just a bit worried about the timelines given the twitter posts etc if you don’t have any spares.
@Simon: Hi Simon, Have been chasing the assembly house, today I found out It looks like they have let us down and it will delay the deliver further, our job slipped and is now being affected by a national holiday in China (Its a UK CEM with a factory in Asia). Which is annoying for me as in turn we are letting you down. It looks like it may be a few more weeks, so my apologies. We will try to make it up with you all for being so patient.
We have enough in the first batch that gets delivered to cover all of the current pre-orders, with some spare. Once available I will send out invitations to purchases starting with the first pre-orders.
