Just entered in the early bird group: can't wait for the ST42!
And you know we will send you a st42 for free after more production process, so please hold on, it's coming
any more details?
Hi eliocor,
Here are the details.
We have tried making two batches of Shannon Tweezers by ourselves, each batch is about 20, the first batch is used for testing, and sent to some friends to find problems. Improved second batch, partly for Early Birds.
The tweezers have many parts and the cost of assembly time is high. We can no longer afford more such work. In the next batch, we will hand over more work to the factory, including production assembly, manual calibration, and other work. The number of this batch is around 100. The original plan was to start this part of the work after receiving some orders from KS, but you know, it might not be the time yet. Thanks to Early Birds and the guys in EEVblog for your support.
At the same time as the production of hardware components, our online update function has been completed and has undergone many tests. Now the domain name of the website is under review. After passing, you can share the update method with everyone.
For the duration of this batch, the plan is 2~3 weeks. But the netizens who have followed this discussion group should have relevant experience, that is, our time is not reliable

. We may be one of the few places in the world that can still be affected by the COVID epidemic, but I believe it will not be another three years.
Aliexpress is indeed a very convenient platform, but the logistics time is really long and in some countries, the tax is really high.
